HERO Maker Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Well, while the system was down we spent a few days alongside the Arkansas River in Maumelle, Arkansas, just north of Little Rock. Now we are perched next to Table Rock Lake at Mill Creek US Army Corps of Engineers Park. Will be leaving here on Friday morning and headed to Hermann, MO. The storm will probably catch up to us then. They have 3 huge pull-thru sites at the City Park with full hookups! It's good to be on the road again.

rick.rutel Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Just pulled into Plymouth, Mass heading back from Canada home to Florida. One note: Driving the highway through the Boston area with the HDT was insane. Suicidal car drivers all trying to become speed bumps.

rick.rutel Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I've found that when car drivers get crazy, I'll caravan with career truck drivers. They drive tight and close. Today, we must of had twenty of us on 295 running together. Cars tend to avoid trucks in groups, which is great. Today, the drivers were lunatics. The speed limit was 50, traffic was going along at 40 and it might as well have been NASCAR. I was beat by the time we pulled into the RV park.

donf888 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 We (early Sunday) beat tracks from NYC back to Toledo to visit Mom -- she began a rapid descent a couple days earlier. Mom passed quietly, in her sleep at 05:20 EDT Wed; she'd been made very comfortable, especially the last 8 weeks, by the caregivers at ParkCliffe Community, the Hospice attendants & their nurses... didn't need Adavan at all (so, minimum/negligible agitation), was given morphine for the first time on Saturday -- that is what made it clear we needed to be back in Toledo. We visited with Mom all day Tues, into the evening, planning to spend all of Wed with her -- but, she was so ready, she left once she knew all her kids were nearby!

cdat Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Don, condolences on your loss, losing a loved one, especially your Mother is always very difficult.

kingskids Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Don - so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mom a year and a half ago, and I still miss her terribly. At least you got to visit with her before she went. My condolences to you and all your family.

RandyA Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Don, Nancy and I extend our deepest condolences. Loss of a parent is tough, but seeing them pass quietly and without pain is a blessing. My Dad passed from lung cancer in a hospice and Nancy's Mom passed last February - all with dignity and loved ones near.

donf888 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Thanks, Randy & Nancy AND Cindie & Jeff -- Fannie and I appreciate everyone's kind thoughts and prayers. We were blessed in many ways, first with Mom's presence in our lives while growing up and raising our own families, then with her Alzheimer's, over the 10 years she struggled with the disease, it never completely stole her from us; she had occasional moments of clarity right up to the very end -- even said my name twice during one visit last month; and, she was in a "settled space", always happy to see us, it wasn't difficult to spend time with her.
