<span style="color: #660000;">This is the kitchen that is to </span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;">The apple border will be <em>GONE </em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;">and so will the white appliances.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;">This kitchen has an overload of a variety of </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;">shades of white . If this was our permanent home </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;">the tile counter tops and backsplash would </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;">also be <em>gone.</em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;">And while I was at it , I would have </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;">the off white smooth tile floor disappear also.</span> </div>

I went to Colorado because somebody needed to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
take Jack out for fun !!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was hard to get pictures of Jack alone because there </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
were 3 little girls that would not leave him alone !!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I was going to have to go</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bridgeport on them so he could play!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">then we went out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">We were using Auntie Karen's car and we got lost </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">and found this park. It was really for little kids</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">but I had fun anyway.</span></div>

So I got online and booked a campground in Spring Hill Florida</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were VERY late arriving since earlier that morning I ended up in</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
URGENT CARE because I thought my leg was broken. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, the leg that has the knee replacement . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday night after having dinner with a friend of Toms, we </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
went back to the camper for a good nights sleep</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
before heading out to Florida. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me give you a little info before I continue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We put an air mattress on the bed in the camper and it makes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the bed quite tall. Tom was going to help me get in bed and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
something SNAPPED ( no not me ) . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was in excruciating pain!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did not get much sleep that night and neither did Tom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next morning he located an urgent care office and off we go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See a Doctor, get multiple ( painful) X-rays and then wait for an ortho </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
specialist to read them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
NOTHING BROKEN thankfully. Knee is OK.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="st">Knee hyper extension - stay off of it , ice it ,you know the routine.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="st">Now do we go home or continue our trip??</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="st">A cement plant.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="st">What a lovely view for a campground!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="st">Major road right behind the camper and lots of noise.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
