On the Road with Timmy

Thanksgiving

2005-12-05T16:59:00.000-08:00

Oh my gosh have we been busy! Donna's boss took Thanksgiving off and went to visit relatives. That left Donna responsible for the Thanksgiving potluck. She fretted a lot, but things went well. Thanks to me and her friend the wine bottle.

A couple of days after Thanksgiving, we got on a big bus and went to Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point), Mexico. Steve had always wanted to go because his Aunt, who lives in Tempe, says it's a wonderful place. All I can say is, it was different. The frogs there are really big.

We did go to a nice, quiet bar for margaritas, guacamole, and the sunset.

It's gonna be really busy here around Christmas. Steve promises to take lot's of pictures and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Happy Holidays.

Halloween Party

2005-11-02T15:17:00.000-08:00

This was my first time to experience this "halloween" thing. Donna dressed me as a cowboy (white hat, one of the good guys), and I'm not sure what she and Steve were. Donna's name tag read "Sweet Cheeks" and Steve's said "Hot Lips". There was a variety of strange people at the party, and a lot of them danced something called "the line". I made a point of not getting out on the dance floor.

Sorry It's Been So Long

Sorry it's been so long since I last posted, but we've been really busy. Thought you'd like to see the view from my current home. This picture was taken at sunset. People around here say "when the mountains are pink it's time to drink." I don't understand what they mean, but these mountains get pink every day!
Donna and Steve have decided they really like it here, so they are buying a little house to live in, called a "park model". They'll live in it in the Winter, and travel in Harvey in the Summer. The previous owner had it rented for the winter, so we can't move in until the first of April. We expect to do a little painting in December, before the renters arrive. It's kind of cute, huh?

Donna and Steve are both enjoying their jobs and I get to go along sometimes. Steve let's me help clean the pool and I help Donna with
the Park newsletter.

Anyway, I really miss you guys! It was exciting to hear about the arrival of my cousin (?), Jillian. Somebody give her and Truby a hug for me. My next adventure is something called a "Halloween Party". Stay tuned.

First Pot Luck

2005-10-10T16:58:00.000-07:00

We arrived in Gold Canyon last Friday and it's really pretty here. Steve, Donna, and I spent Saturday settling in to our winter home. That evening we went to a thing called a "pot luck" at the home of Donna's new boss, Julie. We ate a lot and met some interesting people. If these things happen often I'm gonna get fat!

This is Arizona????

What the heck is going on? This ain't no lily pad! What have I gotten myself into?

This Thing Was Cool

2005-10-06T19:05:00.000-07:00

We spent last night in Van Horn, Texas. They had this nifty weather station (that's me on the rock). This morning the rock was wet, and IT REALLY WAS RAINING! Cool, huh?

Through Oklahoma and Texas

2005-10-05T15:22:00.000-07:00

We spent a long day and two nights in Oklahoma City. Steve had planned to have work done on the motorhome, but for a variety of reasons that didn't happen.

We went through Wichita Falls and Abilene. Donna made me Assistant Navigator and let me help track our progress on the computer. She says I am so smart (S-M-R-T).

Who Am I?

2005-10-03T18:45:00.000-07:00

I'm a glow frog with special needs. I was rescued and lovingly cared for by three wonderful ladies at Celebration City in Branson, Missouri. Truby, Jessica, Sherry, and I dreamed of travels and adventures. My dream came true on October 2, 2005 when dear friends Donna and Steve allowed me to stow away in their motorhome.

My saga begins.
