The week behind....

Not much went on this week as we settled into our new adopted hometown of Topeka, KS at the Capital City KOA.  Winds have started picking up each day, but it's still so mild we can get by with the fan for most of the morning and evening while running the air during the afternoon.  We have had wonderful evenings.

Forbes Air Field has been really busy lately with large Air Force 737 cargo planes landing, along with a few fighters either doing touch and go's or refueling.  Great staying in a place that has a free air show.

Wednesday we found either (a) how great our vision insurance used to be or (b) how awful our vision insurance is now.  Take your pick. Used to be we'd hop into the eye doctor, pay our $10, have our glasses within a week and never pay another dime.  That was when we were working.  Now, that we're retired -- wow!  We had no idea glasses cost so darn much.  $600 later and we've got our glasses for the next couple of years, and that's going 'cheap' on everything -- no scratch coating, no reflective whatever, cheap frames, etc..  Yikes.

Friday, we saw the hayride rolling with no one on it, so Connie hopped aboard and so did a camper from behind us.  After conversing, it's our second person we've met since leaving Sea Breeze RV Park who has also stayed at Gulf Waters RV Park in Port Aransas, TX.  Cody grew up in Kansas City, is a Mizzou grad, and is a common occurrence we find in 'full timers' -- he's waiting on his house to get built.  His wife and family are actually living about 5 miles away from where we stayed in Aubrey, TX (The Colony).  We enjoyed his company Friday night talking college and pro sports, and again Saturday night as we watched the NBA Eastern Conference Finals (campground here doesn't have ESPN) and Stanley Cup Final game 5 outside the rig.

We learned from the guy at LensCrafters that the first two weeks of June are the busiest for tornadoes here.  Didn't want to hear that.  Hoping that our luck holds out.
