Hello all,
We are doing well here in Lake Worth, FL. We all got our first sun burn last week at the beach. Today it is going to be 85, wow! Hope all are doing well and staying warm. We would like to see those of you in ohio for Alumni weekend, but not able to get away for the time. We are going to go to Sea World in a couple of weeks and meet up with some great friends from Virginia, the Andersons. Can't wait to see youse guys.

Hello
We are still around. Just trying to get an internet access that doesn't require wires. So , we are now right across the street from where C.O. is working and he rides his bike to work, just over a mile. The kids are doing great and it looks like Sam will be potty trained soon.
Hope all are well,
Take care,

HELLO ALL!
We just wanted to say hello. We are in a campground that is not telephone line friendly. So we come to the library to do this.
We are all well, nobody has had a cold or sniffle (now that I say that......) We are learning alot about the local area have been to the Seminol reservation and got to dance with them last weekend at a reenactment of the 3rd Seminole War. It was fun and Sammy really enjoyed the dancing. C.O. has seen 2 bad accidents in the 3 weeks that we have been here. One of them had one vehicle that had been flipped on it's roof end up 3 feet from the front bumper of C.O.'s truck. The other car had been stolen and the guy ran off as C.O. was trying to tell him to wait for the EMT's. CRAZY. So C.O. may get to go to court to be a witness, yippee. But to put that guys butt in jail for his idiocy, no problem.
We are planning for different things to do here in Florida. We have seen many neat places already, Lake Okachobee, Palm Beach mansions, Sea turtles, the Zoo. There is lots to do.
We are not able to check our email so please use our HOTMAIL account
cowjoyn4@hotmail.com
We can check these at the library, also just leave us a note on this web page. We really want to hear from you, especially the kids like to hear.
Hey all you at FMH. The hospital I am at is all computer. We just went live with MEDITECH EMAR. What a pain. We use hard wired barcode scanners, but this facility uses McKesson to dispense all of the pt meds. So I go and get my 0900 meds from one machine, take them in and scan them in the pt room and then scan the pt then give the meds. So many steps! Hope you are all well.
Hey Baptist! hope you guys are staying warm. I think of yous all frequently.
Well my 1/2 hour is up here at the library.
Take care

Florida Times: We are not able to hook up to the internet at our campground. We will do this thru the library. So our email is not working.
We are in Florida near Lake Okechobee. NICE area. We are able to see lots of new things and learn about the Big Cypress Swamp area that we are in. We are not missing the wintery weather. Please leave us note for any or all of us on this site under the comments.
Take care

Happy New Year
Hello all. We are very much looking forward to 2005. We hope that all of you had a great holiday season and we hope that you are staying warm. We have been having some very nice weather here, the upper 60's to mid 70's, very nice. We are looking forward to seeing Florida in a few weeks. We will bee in the West Palm Beach area and as soon as we find a place to stay then we will feel better about the move.
For those of you who might be interested....... The Rest of The Story (to borrow a line).
We got to Alice's house in the wee morning hours of Oct 1. We got the kids down and Melissa and C.O. were able to get a few hours rest. Now we had planned to get the truck and RV bought and here as soon as possible. This way we would have enough time to load to the RV, get used to driving a NICE NEW TRUCK! and also to practice pulling the RV around, especially backing up with it (for those of you who have ever seen the Lucy and Desi movie "The Big Trailer" you know how important it is to be able to back in to a spot). Well sufficit to say we didn't get these plans underway as planned. First C.O. made a call to his friend that works for BoA and he called later in the day and was able to get our money out of the hostage situation. YIIPPPPEEEE. No.
There are no Bank of America branches in Ohio. We could not got and get a cashiers check like our plan called for. C.O. was ready to drive back to Maryland and get the money...... The weekend was just to relax.C.O. was still checking web sites and trying to find the truck of his dreams and we were also trying to fit all of the stuff that we wanted to put into storage into the large closet space that we rented. Monday came and C.O. was again able to talk to the great bud at the BoA and we arrainged for the funds for the trailer and truck to be wired to those places! YYYEESSSS!!!!.

The Saga Begins
Melissa and C.O. were just so excited to pack up the U-Haul trailer. The day that we went to get the trailer it of course is a tropical storm the remenants of one of the many hurricanes that came thru. Finding out that you had to purchase a special harness for the van so that it would work. (Not to mention that earlier in the day when we really wanted to get the u-haul, the van wouldn't start!) So C.O. is just loving it being soaked to the bone hooking up a harness and then buying an adapter for the harness so that the light would work properly on the u-haul. Then he gets to go and hitch up the u-haul trailer in about 3 inches of water, no biggee. So then we head home, knowing that we won't get the loading process started until late in the day, but wait! There is a river in the middle of the road! Near our old house is a park next to a creek that constantly becomes inundated with water, and this our direct rout home! So one detour later we put the trailer in the garage and put in a few things, just to feel like we were accomplishing something, and get the kids fed and down while Melissa and C.O. continue that frenzied day before the move ritual....AAAAAAHHHHHHAHAHAHHHAHAHA!!!!!!!
We tried, of course, to get started early. Well seeing that we were trying pack all the rest of our wordly goods in a 6x8x12 foot u-haul and the back of our van, posed a daunting assignment. We started the process and we were making headway but considering that our closing was at 3pm we had an uphill fight. Thank goodness that some friends, Liz and Roger Zerne, were waiting until the last minute to pick-up the couch that they had bought. They had pity on us and started helping. Then seeing the task ahead was going to be long Roger took the rest of the day off and they both stayed and help (Thanks Guys!). We would not have finished any where near on time. So we get the van and and the u-haul stuffed, take some things to our neighbors, Chris and Melissa's, and we are ready at 2:45pm. WOW! Our last image of the house that we are leaving is of Melissa our neighbor, sweeping the kitchen our for us as we race off.
We get to the office for the closing thinking we go in sign and the get check and then go and get the kids, who by the way are with Kattie first then go with Berna to Chucky Cheese's, WRONG!
We get to the office and there is a delay. We wait about an hour before things have become arranged and then we sign and get check! OK money (check anyway) in hand we go to the bank to deposit and prepare to go, WRONG. The bank tells us that since we are new customers and since the check is for a sizable chunk of change it would be 11 DAYS before the check cleared! That was INSANE! We were not sure what to do but we still had a schedule to keep and had to get on the road.
We stopped and had a bite to eat at Chucky Cheese's with the kids and Clyde and Berna (Thanks you two). Then Clyde and C.O. tried to figure out why the lights on the u-haul would not work. Finally we figured out that the HARNESS that cost money and was brand new was defective, but we were able to fix it. So about 8pm we finally hit the road to Ohio and Melissa's mom.
Stay tuned for the next exciting chapter.

2nd Installment
Merry Christmas!
Hello all. Just wanted to tell you hey and that we are well. C.O.'s dad is here visiting and the kids are loving it. Sammy especially enjoys "gaampy" (in his words), so much so that he will endure pain for a period of time. Gaampy was sitting on the couch and Sam came up to him and hit gaampy's substantial belly. On the 2nd hit gaampy told him not to hit and bonked Sam on the forhead lightly with his knuckle. Sam thought this was hilarious and proceeded to hit the abs again, with the same resultant knuckle punch. "This is a stubborn kid", says gaampy as this process continued until Sam would pause, rub red forehead, hit belly, recieve the blessing and laugh and start again. Finally Sam decided that he has had enough. He stops for about a 1/2 hour and then wants to see if the belly slap would produce the same results........sure enough!
We all travelled to Charleston, SC to see some of the history. We saw the old Lady USS Yorktown from the shore and then went into downtown and started learning about Fort Sumter. Charleston is a nice old town and we liked it. The ferry ride to and from the Fort was a big hit with all. Hannah seemed to have no problem getting her sea legs and Rebekah wanted to explore the ferry as much as possible. Nate was a little worried about his little bro, but saw that mom and dad were keeping a weather eye on him that he also seemed to enjoy it.
The Fort was very cool especially to C.O. and gaampy. Very cool to see where some of the first shots of the Civil War were fired. And to think that the walls of the fort were 55 ft high at the beginning of the war and by the time the war ended all but about 12 ft of was was rubble!
Well we will be posting some pictures here soon and then you can see some of our adventure soon.
