A lot has happened

Boy have we been busy. Today is the last day. We have entertainment tonight and then the parade. This is where every state that is here marches across the stage and makes a bunch of noise. That will be the end. Last night was the King and Queen contest. A couple from Iowa won Conn. was runner up. We also had a lady as entertainment and also a reception for the King and Queen. Yesterday they did bean bag baseball and I forget what else. We had church this morning and then the drawing for our place in the parade. I drew # 1. So we will march behind Iowa as they have the new king and queen. I will take pictures of all of them. At noon they had a luncheon for all the workers. We are going out with the Indiana group for supper later this afternoon. We leave tomorrow morning for Mineola which is about 30 miles away for a mini rally. Be there till Fri and then start back to Ft Wayne. Figure to get back about Thurs or Fri. Hope it warms up. We might freeze otherwise. Well that s it for today. I will post tomorrow when we get to the next place.  Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Well almost over

We have two more days and then it is over. We have had a great time. I am doing it this afternoon as it seems I don't have time at night. Yesterday we had our first dinner that is included with what we pay. Here is the spread. We had sliced chicken and beef brisket. Cole slaw and potato salad some kind of cooked beans sorta like baked beans but not what we have. Also drink and roll.  It was good. Thelma brought a little chicken back for Eli. Here is the spread They were all pretty good. Here is a shot of a skit that some did. It was called Ma and Pa's camping trip

This morning they had the Red Hat luncheon They had one red hatter that was really ugly Here she is

The man was singing when she came out  Boy not sure where she came from. Well that is it for tonight. Just about ready for supper then back to the building for more entertainment. Tomorrow night we find out who our new Retiree King and Queen is. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Missed last night

Boy yesterday was a long day. We had a meeting last night at least I did. It was for Campvention 2011 in Ladson SC. It lasted till about 10:45. By the time I got back I was ready for bed Here are a few pictures from Tues and Wed. nights entertainment

This is Gordy and Debi They are a husband and wife that preform  in Branson in the summer and down in the valley during the winter. We heard them a couple of years ago at Sedalia for Campvention

this is Gordy singing to a lady from Michigan that we are friends with Her husband went on stage with Debi.

This is our coordinators for the rally They were dancing to some of Gordy and Debi's music They are great to work with. We have enjoyed getting to know them.

This is Sarah Getto. She is a great entertainer. She has been blind since birth but has gone to collage for music. You would not believe the voice she has. We have heard here in Sedalia Mo and also last year down at Louisville, Ky. At the rally. 
 I though I would post this afternoon as I might not have time tonight. We have 3 more days. I can't believe it is almost over already. We have a catered dinner tonight at 5 So need to get ready for that.
Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

A busy day

This will be short tonight Just got back to the trailer from entertainment. It was great Yes Paul I meant they did not make it to the meeting. Things went well for our Hospitality for our King and Queen. Had a  lot of people come through the line. I will try and get some pictures on here tomorrow. I am tired and ready to go to bed Tomorrow is another busy day. Not sure how many pictures I have taken I need to look. I have part of them on the computer but not today's yet. Well Tomorrow is another day See you then   Later  Ron Thelma and Eli

Tomorrow we start in earnest

I took some pictures today. Mostly it was of the Chairpeople. We had a meeting this morning and I did it after that. Then Thelma and I went to the laundry She did the clothes and I took the truck across the driveway and washed it. It was so dirty from the dust down here. I have never been in a place so dry. They sure could use some rain. Yes Bob the Monce's made it here this afternoon. Not sure exactly what time. I was sitting at the computer working on pictures when I seen a little class c go by and pull in right behind us. I thought that looks like Don's unit sure enough it was. We have chatted some. This afternoon we also had a meeting with some of the Indiana people here. A couple went to sleep in their campers and didn't make it. Tomorrow I will start taking a lot of pictures. A couple of things took place today that I will explain more about later. It pertains to next year's retiree rally. So far it is going great. We enjoy visiting with all our friends here. I think I do more than Thelma. She is a little laid back. Oh I am too. LOL. Well Guess that's it for tonight  Later all Ron Thelma and Eli.

An enjoyable day

Well today was a nice day. We had a church service this afternoon when our chaplain arrived. They had been to the board meeting in Dallas so didn't get here till later. We also had a short meeting for all the workers. Tomorrow we have a chairman's meeting at 8 in morning. I am taking pictures of all the chairman. Thelma is going to do the scrap book. They talked her into it. Tues is when it all starts . Will be busy for a few days. Not much else new tonight. Maybe tomorrow I will put some pictures up here. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Canton Texas

Well we made it here. Got here about 2:30 or so I think. Got set up and then went and registered. Had a friend come and visit for awhile. We then visited up in the building with some from Indiana that are here. We will have about 12 here I think. Will find out tomorrow I think for sure who all is coming. Tomorrow we have church in the morning and then a meeting for all workers. I will have a meeting every morning at 8. Boy I hate getting up that early. Think I will go to the meeting and then will eat breakfast afterward. It is only 915 here but I am about ready for bed. I think the driving tires me out. Not sure how long we were on the road today . At least 6 hrs maybe more. Well that is it for tonight  Later all Ron Thelma and Eli who is probably not looking forward to this rally. Yes he liked the steak.
