Since there hasn't been too much update on the website, we are supposing everyone is having a great traveling summer! To those who did update, we feel a bit of envy of your experiences.

We are still "STUCK" at home this summer, trying to evade the heat. Jack finished his radiation treatments in May, and had a follow-up visit with the urologist in June. His PSA was ZERO! That was great news and hopefully it will stay at that count. Another visit will be in September for another PSA test and possibly another bone scan, just to see if anything was missed.

One very exciting thing happened to us in June, we became GREAT grandparents for the first time. We haven't had hands on contact yet, as they are in Hawaii. But the internet program, SKYPE, is a great second choice. We do plan to visit them in the early part of next year, and hope to have an extended stay.

Not too much happening in Cove, Texas, although we have had so much rain and had "water front property" on some occasions. No danger of flooding, however.

While Bobby Skinner was taking his radiation in Houston, we introduced him to a pizza restaurant in Conroe that they went to each Tuesday after the treatment. On Tuesdays they offer seniors all you can eat pizza bar, for $3.99, including drink, coffee, hot chocolate, & iced tea. It is a great deal and they will make special pizza for you.  If anyone is interested, it is called Incredible Pizza located at the crossroads of I-45 and Loop 336. It is next to a large Kroger grocery store and behind a Chinese restaurant.

We attended the memorial service for Rusty Braswell on Saturday, July 24. It was very nice and we enjoyed seeing Pat. She was surprised to see us. I think she would like to attend the New Year’s Rally in Corsicana, TX since it isn't too far from her. It would be great to see her there.

Happy traveling to everyone and have a safe summer. Hope to see you in September at the Sponsor's Rally!

Don't know if you have seen the attached information from TL E-news.  It seems that two of the former owners of TS are starting up an entry level RV line.  It is interesting to me that they will be making only tag-a-longs and not 5th wheels.  Maybe that is where the market is now. Read more about it on the TL E-News link under the article "New Kid on the Block".

I have written several tips about cleaning up your coach.  All of the before mentioned tips required quite a bit of elbow grease.  Well we have found a way to upgrade your current coach without wearing out your arms, legs, and buffers.  Get it painted at Phoenix Paint in Elkhart.  Actually they are located on Hwy 205 just off of 19 about a mile into Michigan.  Michelle and David Henry own the company and do most if not all of the work.  They will strip all of the old caulk, vinyl graphics, and anything else that needs removing.  The surfaces are roughed up and the new finish is applied. 

The graphic design is custom; you select the colors to suit your personal preference. You will be given several draft designs for tweaking and ultimately approval.  The whole process means that you will know what the coach is going to look like before any work begins.  As far as designs are concerned the sky is the limit.  Go to phoenixpaintinc.com to see several TS coaches that have been upgraded to 2010 Phoenix.  Michelle will be glad to discuss your project and pricing is quite attractive. 

The three coats of clear really make the unit shine and improve ease of upkeep.  No more waxing and oxidation removal. Henry
