mobile HOLMES

The first weekend of the new year we wanted to go somewhere, and with the bad weather we chose to stay close. We went to Memphis and took Tatianna to the Childrens Museum and the Pink Palace Museum. It just so happened that my football team, the Razorbacks were playing in the Liberty Bowl the next day, and the Childrens Museum was right next to the Stadium! So we just had to go talk to the tailgaters in the RV's and Motorhomes since we were not going to go to the game itself. Thus we made some new friends that were both Rvers and Razorback fans. It was pretty cool.... The next morning our motel's free hot breakfast was really not working well, too many people, not enough food made and not enough staff to support it. So, I recalled a Shoney's not to far away and we went to the breakfast bar there. To our suprise, While Phyllis was in line, she ran into some old friends we have known since in '80's. Michael is an evangelist that has spend nearly 40 years traveling eastern Europe, Russia and the middle east. He and his wife Jan are based out of Texas and were on there way to East Tennessee for a Revival. They had a similar experience with their motel breakfast. It was so amazing to see them in Memphis of all places. The last time we saw them was in Tulsa before we moved awayin 2004.

Liquidation and house preperation. We have moved a substantial amount of our 'stuff' in storage and around the house to a flea marked and have already sold a lot from there. My son-in-law and daughter came up and helped us repair a damaged floor section and we are now re-tiling the floor in the kitchen and dining room as well as replacing the ceiling lights througout the house.
I haven't discussed a lot about this house, but basically we bought it originally to be a rent house but timing worked out to make it better for us to move into it. So we have made major improvements and repairs and will have it on the market in the next 30 days, And of course the faster it sells the faster we get the RV and possibly a newer truck. But we will see what happens.
