The Luedkes Report All Is Well, Plus An Invitation!

Here's a note I received from Ted abut a week ago. Enjoy! Keith

"Hello Keith ...

The old Marine here and wife Katy, in the Prairie Schooner on 5th street.

Just read your RV 35 blog for the first time and it is very nice, very nice indeed. Thought I would send an update for the Luedkes.

Had a trailer tire blow out on the way home but all went OK. Good Sam roadservice appeared within a half hour with no out of pocket expense for us. We got home (Ava is an hour SE of Springfield Missouri) in time to close on the sale of our ranch and close on a new place closer to Springfield. A new house on 4.5 acres and we moved in April 16th ... still don't know where anything is. Nice having the 5th wheel as we stashed all the clothes in it and moved it to the new place.

We are already building a barn for the RV and workshop, etc. Poles go up on Monday April 28th ... and yes we will have a 50 x 18 gravel spot for an RV with 50A, water and still haggling with authorities about the sewer (only gray or a holding tank or ....). So, we are 8 minutes off Hwy 65 which connects Springfield to Branson, and we invite any RV 35 camper to stop a day or two and visit and see the sights. Click our web site for the view from the back of our house ... the same view from the RV pad. www.boxlt.com

Have made 25 back ups of the book I talked to you about ... that was a big scare.

Our trees are mostly green now, tulips are out in style as are other early flowers and I have mowed the lawn three times already. Then again, all the rain and floods we have had in the area make for good growing when the sun appears and hits 85. The flooding has not affected us personally.

Even though Bret Favre retired, we still need to watch the Packers and I tired of the dish set up so had Camping World install the new Trav'ler by Wineguard, so just a flip of the switch sets up Direct TV for us. Now that is lazy indeed.

Last winter was our first foray into wintering elsewhere and we loved it. Already looking forward to this next season. Plan a trip back to hometown Wisconsin this summer and going some where in early fall.
