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!

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Accomplishments:
Yesterday morning Mike got the front of the fiver washed, which is something he had been wanting to get done for a long time! He figures he will do the trailer in sections, and then by the time he gets it all done he can start all over! Kara and I took down the pictures and knick knacks in the living room, and got then all ready to be boxed up. The rest of the day yesterday was spent doing things with Kara. We colored pictures, then she made a bracelet with beads while I finished up dinner. She loves to do crafts, and paint sun catchers. Then there is the computer sites that she loves to get on. I told you about the Webkinz , site the other day, but then she also loves a site called Stardoll, kinda like playing paper dolls on the web, of course she had never heard of paper dolls when I told her about them! Guess that was just for us girls who were girls in the olden days. There is also a web site for the High School Musical movies that are all the rage right now with all the "tween" girls now. Tweens are girls who are between ten and twelve, not quite a teenager yet!

Dutchess:
Last night was Dutchess's first night to stay all night in the fiver. She did pretty good, but was kinda restless going up the steps and down the steps before settling down for the night. It will be something she'll have to get used to, so it may tike a few times before she is comfortable being in the fiver all the time. Hannah sure was glad to see her when I took her into the house today.

Today:
Today I had 4 year old Tehya, as well as Kara, Autumn was in school, and today was her 3rd day of school. The girls and I baked cookies, and they played on the computers while I did the dishes. Then they colored, and did beads, well Tehya's attention span isn't real long so she did coloring and beads for about 10 minutes! LOL! Grandpa did the shopping, so we didn't have to go and take the kids with us, cos they want everything they see, so it's just easier not to take them with us so one of us stays home with them. After our son, Corey got home from work he took Tehya, Autumn, and Kara home with him to give me a break. Then he will bring his youngest, Tehya, and Kara back to spend the night. Autumn will get to sleepover another night.

Counter:
I finally got a counter put here on my blog. I am really proud of myself too! I finally figured it out, and kept at it until I got it. So I've been patting myself on the back, because I am very computer illiterate, and even I eventually figured it out! So see there's hope for my pictures too! My next step will be to get a pic of the truck and the fiver posted, so wish me luck. I hope it will be a little easier that the counter was, if not I may end up being bald! I just about pulled my hair out doing the counter! LOL! Let's see what tomorrow brings, so until then...
