Friday, Nov 13, 2009 - Heath, OH

We've had good time in OH. Running out of time & have to get dogs to Vet., etc., etc. It has been cold! Looking fwd to trip South, first to GA & then on to FL. 2010 sched, mostly unknown. Plans so far are to leave OH Tues a.m., head to IN to get leaking Jacks fixed again. Our Home on Wheels will take us on to GA from there.

Henry's birthday is 18th. We are used to celebrating birthdays & holidays when traveling.

Still adjusting to blogging, so bear with us (first thing, find where GMail account & password are written) :) :) ). One dear friend said blogging is OK - but don't stop "updates". Yes, they are easier for this gal to do!!!

Chris Guld (GeeksOnTour.com) was on a web cast this aft. We were hurriedly opening new headphone pkg., plugging in & trying to figure out how to register, see & listen, and we made it. If anyone could have seen us, they would be laughing!!! Jim & Chris Guld were flown to CA to tour Google. Chris & another gal conducted a very good presentation re Picasso. It is fun to sit close to computer & watch curser pointing out where to go & their telling what to do. Guld's will be telling more about it. Go to their web site & you will see lots of info there. I enjoy their favorite blogs, & click on Gypsy Journal & Tioga & George.

Enjoyed seeing same pictures of places we've been, but we don't have those pictures. We stopped taking pictures due to toting around, but now we know more about Picasso & other programs, we are taking pictures again. .
Now we will listen to their instructions to get pictures posted on this blog! Yes, they will posted here soon. Stay tuned.

Gypsy Journal Gathering ending..............

What a great time this has been!! H. enjoyed teaching magic at his seminar this a.m.. Kathy's mind has been boggled with blogging, etc., while Henry learns quickly. Seminars we enjoyed were taught by Jim & Chris Guld, GeeksonOnTour.com They are very good! Kathy needs some "gigs" added to her memory!! Henry was very happy to learn about Google Earth program!!

We won prizes, enjoyed good pizza party last night.........You should have seen how fast pizza was served & eaten. H tried to get pictures of a large pile of empty pizza boxes in a corner. We will post if it turns out. This has been a very good rally. We would rate it "A"!! Weather changed by the minute, but doesn't that happen at most rallys ? We liked this location & timing was perfect for us. We picked up a bundle of Gypsy Journals (RV Travel Newspaper) to pass around during our travels. We love reading it & also Nick's daily postings on his blog. Check it out at www.GypsyJournal.net


Tomorrow we say goodbye while enjoying coffee & donuts & drive N. near Van Wert to a campground where we see friends Tom & Fran Mason. Tom installed our internet satellite dish, set up Flakey's web site, & now they are full timing.

Gypsy Journal Gathering 9/25 - 10/2

Arrived early at Celina, Oh fairgrounds for Gypsy Journal Gathering.
Henry signed up for Computer Boot Camp - a 2 day course presented by Jim & Chris Guld.
Of course, Kathy accompanied him........
Henry usually isn't able to attend seminars, but this one he is Henry (in person), but does do a seminar Thursday morning teaching magic tricks.
We plan to attend all the Geeks on Tour seminars and try to work others in. That does happen
at rally's. We cannot attend everything. They do have many good seminars to choose from.

Today's first seminar subject was blogging & this is our first attempt!! We are so pleased to finally be able to do this!!!

Sunday evening John Watson, a new friend, helped to get our ailing connections fixed to set our Satellite dish up. He did so much to help us that last night he & his wife joined us for a nice meal at Bob Evans.........we certainly appreciate all he did for us!!!

Everyone is so pleasant, laid back & helpful here. This is the type of rally we can really enjoy!!

It was very windy & cold after a thunder storm Sun night. But we are snug & warm........

Now some of you know we have a 12 yr old dog named Mickey........prior to our trip to Bar Harbor, Maine we rescued a long legged yr old Chihuahua named Max. Max blends right in with our way of life....... He & Mickey tolerate ea other and no problem at all.........
