About US

This the story of our journey, Into Something Good, going Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and trying to Hold Onto Our Dreams. How we got on the way to becoming HALF time RVers! Our Ford 350 super duty diesel truck is our horses, we call it the Beast . Our 2008 34'7" 3 slide Cedar Creek Silverback fifth wheel is our Prairie Schooner Wagon,we call it the Bear. Just like the first RVers, the Pioneers of Yesteryear traveling around the country searching for a rich full filling life! Come along with us for the ride and read about our triumphs and mishaps along the way! About to be Part time RVers in a Cedar Creek Silverback 2008, 34'7", 3 slide 5th wheel, which is our Prairie Schooner Wagon, and a 2006 Ford 350 super duty 1 ton diesel truck is our horses, or oxen, only we have to feed it diesel instead of grass, and oats, which costs a lot more! Retired Air Force empty nesters off to see the good ole USA! Favorite Quote: "Life is a Blank Canvas, Made For Me to Add the Colors" Goal: I am trying to add as many colors as I can to my life!

ONE LESS THING ON OUR LIST!

NEW LAPTOP:
We found a new laptop on sale at Circuit City and decided that it had everything that we needed to take on the road with us. We will have our desktop and the laptop to take with us. The laptop is smaller than the 17" screen we wanted, but at 15.4" it will do just fine and it is lighter than the 17" one, which was a factor in our decision to purchase the smaller one. Mike my DH is limited to only lifting 10 lbs because of his back problems. So now we will have to get an air card for it.

BIG SPENDING:
Gosh will the big spending ever be over? It seems like we're spending money left and right! I guess I should have started keeping track before this, so we would know how much it cost us to get on the road! No matter how hard I try I'm sure I'll forget to note something! We now have our travel insurance and our fiver insured for replacement value. We'll probably do satellite tv , at least we're looking into that. We just got new cell phones at Christmastime so that's taken care of. We're going to need a digital camera so we can keep a picture record of our travels. Digital camera's are another big ticket item and are as confusing and scary to me as the whole computer, satellite, wifi, air card, mumbo jumbo! YIKES!!! Will it ever end?

WHAT TO PUT IN 5th WHEEL:
So far I want to take my CROCKPOT, SEWING MACHINE, SERGER. STEAMER, MIXER, GEORGE FORMAN GRILL, and my SLICER, which I use every week. I'm sure I'll add to the list as I go along. I can't decide if I need to bring my cast iron frying pans yet or not, because they are very heavy. I don't forsee me cooking over the fire outside very often, so maybe not. This seems like a good place to end this post so I will!
