New Years Eve 2012

We are home from our Bus Rally adventure. Got home late this afternoon.

Once again we unloaded the bus and cleaned up so it's ready for our next outing. 

We had a great time...very relaxing...well for me anyway. 

Manny ends up being quite preoccupied by the other busnuts 

who have tales to tell and improvements to show.

As soon as he steps outside our bus in the morning, the adventures begin.
Here are some pictures from when we first arrived

Checking in

 Here we are across the field on the far right (that's our awning)

So, the first full day at this rally it was rather cold, so I stayed inside most of the day

on the couch, with Milli by my side in her little bed, and watched movies. 
It was WONDERFUL!!!!

The next day I got outside some, riding around in the golf cart, looking at other buses, 

and visiting with friends - old and new, but then it started to rain, 

which put me back in the bus with more movies. 

I was not the least bit upset, mind you.

This was my FAVORITE bus this year...a 1947 Silver Side being restored

This was inside the bus

The next day our bus club (Eagles International) was hosting an Ice Cream Social

and Manny & I were asked to help serve. That was lots of fun!

That evening they had entertainment...Sally Langwah

This woman and her husband were amazing!!!

Sunday morning there was a church service hosted by this couple

 They go to different campgrounds and hold services and even minister at rehab camps.
This is their bus (and their co-pilot, ha ha)

 These were some shots of downtown Arcadia. I snapped these just before we left town  

 
 These streets were named after the state counties (this is ours)

We enjoyed the rest of our stay and came home today. 

We prefer to bring in the new year at home. 

So now the laundry is already in full force, 

I'm ready to go soak in a nice, hot tub, and then watch a movie with my hubby. 

Maybe tomorrow we'll get to see our kids and grandkids...

btw, tomorrow our older son and his wife will celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary!!!

Congratulations Manuel & Darla!!! 

We love you very, very much!!!


Btw, I tried to post a few nights ago, a post entitled "YAY"
I titled it that way because I had discovered there was a mobile app for Blogs.

I downloaded it onto my smartphone and noticed that it was much easier 

to write on my blog, and then I hit "Publish" but nothing happened. 

THREE DAYS I waited, and it's still saying "Publishing" oh well. 
We had no internet where we were at, and I had very poor reception on my phone.

I suspect that had something to do with it, 

but non-the-less, I was not able to post at all and that made me sad :0(

Here are two more pictures I'd like to share...
the first is of a new shirt I bought for my husband for Christmas

It is actually a Bus Driver Shirt and has his name on it 
as well as the name of the company that manufactured our bus "Silver Eagle"
They don't make Silver Eagles anymore, 
but they use to be the Cadillac of buses because of their ride.
Manny was a hit at this Bus Rally...everyone wants one of these shirts now. 

The second picture is of our bus at night.

We really enjoy our bus...and have lots of fun when we are out in it, 
but I have to admit, I still LOVE coming home to our main home.
Dorothy sure had it right..."There's NO place like home!"
