About US

My photo
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!

EXCITING NEWS!!!!

My News:
On March 25th, 2008 We will go to get the 5th wheel hitch installed and do the final walk through and learn how to use the systems and all the neat new toys in our new 2008 Cedar Creek Silverback 34'7" 5er!!!!! Gee It seemed like that day was going to take forever! So much has happened since we bought it in January!
February was a rough month for us!

Sad News:
We said so long to one of our Best Friends, Rick who passed away Feb 16th with lung cancer at only 6o years old. So if any of you are smoker's PLEASE QUIT NOW!!!!

Surgery:
Mike had his back fusion surgery on Feb 20th and is now recovering nicely after a bit of a rough start and a scare for me, when they nicked a vein during the surgery.
It was a rough couple of days for us!

Good News:
Now we finally have some good news! It will be nice to see it (5er) again as I've almost forgot what it looked like! I would have completely if we hadn't had a brochure from the dealer.

New Tires:
Mike was able to get the back 4 tires for the truck today! He will go back on Monday and have the 2 front tires put on, because the only had 4 for the back.
So they had to order the other 2.

Homecoming:
So we get to bring the 5er home on the 25th! Wow!!! We're not sure what we'll do with it though. We're not sure if it will fit in our drive way, but now that most of the snow is gone we should be able to get out there and measure it tomorrow! If it doesn't fit we'll have to go to plan B. What plan B is, we don't have a clue! Rest assured we'll come up with something though, we didn't come this far to give up, because it won't fit in our drive! Sitting in our drive would be the best place, as far as loading things, but we will adapt to whatever has to be done!
