John & Sharon Roberts: Adventures after HDT Rally

We left Hutchinson, Kansas and headed south for Fort Worth, Texas. In Decatur, Texas we stopped Sunday morning and attended church. We parallel parked at the back of the parking lot taking up several spaces. That was not a problem as we arrived early and the lot never filled up. After church we attempted to depart and be on our way but a light pole had moved over beside our trailer and got in the way of the tail swing.

The rear end cap was pulled loose from the trailer, but the light pole was taken out. We now have added ‘looking for things too close’ to our walk around prior to moving.
We received some duct tape from a couple of helpful ladies and completed our trip to John’s cousin’s driveway in Fort Worth.
While parked at Fort Worth, we took a train ride to Ann Arbor, Michigan to introduce ourselves to our newest grandchild and enjoyed our trip and visit with grandchild #19, Hunter Roberts, born 9/4/2014.
After returning from Michigan, we then flew to Cancun, Mexico for Sharon to attend a business meeting and spent 5 days in the Cancun area. It was nice and warm, we enjoyed the trip and have checked that off our bucket list.
After returning from Cancun we had to stall waiting for our 12/1/14 appointment in Chanute, Kansas, the NuWa factory service center, to have the damage caused by the light pole repaired. While waiting, we had a light dusting of snow which just reminded us that we were in the wrong place for that time of year.

The snow was gone the next day but the temperature was much cooler than we would like.
While waiting, Sharon had time to complete the quilt she had been making for a Christmas present.
