A Note from the Carlsons

The following was provided as a Comment to the Does-Anyone-Visit-This-Site? article I posted last night. Because it is so newsy and includes information many 35 RV friends are interested in, I'm publishing it as an article, rather than as a comment.

Hi Keith,
We do read and appreciate any information/stories you share on this site. You're right -- any news from our fellow snow birds is always fun to read. So, here is a little bit to share. Spring is coming slowly to Bay City, MI this year. Just had another little frost about 10 days ago. Finally were able to put the last of the garden in (our 1st year) and it's great to see our (Rick's) efforts popping through the ground.

Rick is back to his 3-day-a-week grass cutting job at the golf course, and lovin' it. I was babysitting our 2 little g-sons 2 days a week, but my son is laid off from GM for the next 6 weeks so I've got more time to do other important things...like clean out the closets.

Our boys, Bandit and Buddy, are doing fine, except Bandit is being treated for an ear infection and the meds he is on make him thirsty so he drinks a LOT of water. This has caused "accidents" during the night. Fortunately it's on the kitchen floor -- easy to clean up.

Rick's mom and dad are both well and we have dinner with them once a week. Lucille's legs continues to get stronger and she is able to walk greater distances without tiring so quickly.

Glad to hear Pat's surgery went well and that she is on the mend. Our best to you and Pat and all the RV35's.

Rick and Dianne Carlson

Thanks, Dianne, for the update. It's a great example for others to follow!
