There hasn't been a lot going on, hence my hiatus from the blog. However, we did decide that we would move to another RV park for our next month. Loved where we were and the people there; they treated us like family. But they closed their restrooms for the season and, with so few RV parks to choose from, decided to head to a favorite spot of ours: Grove, OK.

Good-by Elk River!

Grove is on Grand Lake O' the Cherokees, and we secured a beautiful spot right on the lake facing west. We are treated to lovely sunsets most evenings, and there are great walking areas around here.

When up to capture them, we're also treated to the glowing colors from the sunrise behind us.

Unfortunately, we're 90 minutes from Tracy, and that's just too far away. We get together as often as we can, but it isn't often enough, as far as I'm concerned.

Last week Tracy and I went shopping for Christmas presents for the kids. That was great fun! And Fritz and I have been snooping around, looking at houses in the event this is where the Lord leads us if our house sells. Certainly can buy a lot more real estate for less bucks than in our neck of the woods!!

The weather has been beautiful! It was 72 degrees Sunday, until Mr. Polar Vortex decided to bluster in! We barely managed to kiss 32 degrees briefly today, and the mercury is sliding back down into the low 20s. Too doggone cold for a motorhome! We're supposed to get over a week of this! It's all I can do to keep Fritz from pulling up stakes and heading to Phoenix. Now I know we can't complain compared to our friends and family in the north; we're all suffering. I keep telling myself "at least we're not having to deal with snow". But even that's not true I've discovered, for 1-3" are forecast for this weekend. That would be equivalent (for the locals) to a foot of snow anywhere in the north! They just don't know how to drive in the stuff, and haven't the equipment to remove it! Ought to be interesting.....

We're looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with Tracy and family and are talking about finding a less-than-perfect RV park that's closer to facilitate that weekend's get-togethers. It'll be our last weekend to spend with the kids. I'm already getting melancholy about leaving. 

Until next time, may you all be counting your many blessings during this season, and may thankfulness become an everyday part of your life.
