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!

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS

Thanksgiving:
Well, we did cross a river, but there was no horse, sleigh, or snow thank goodness! LOL! We had a good time and there was so much food it was obscene. Way too much food, and I think next time we'll cut way back. The trouble with going somewhere besides home is you don't have lots of leftovers, but that may be a good thing come to think of it. One day won't wreck the diet too bad, but when ya eat lots of stuff that you normally don't eat several days in a row, that will do a real number on a diet. We had over 20 people at my brother's house for dinner, and we all had more than enough. That was probably the first time we all got together at once in 8 to 10 years. My camera was charged and ready, laying on the counter at my Mom's house! Didn't do me much good at my brother's house though! We came home on Friday afternoon and just sat and rested. My Mom and I cooked from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday getting things ready, so we didn't have too much actual cooking to do on Thanksgiving. Hope you all had a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Saturday:
Saturday Jamie brought Kara over, so he could move them into their new apartment, while she was with us. Monday is my first Grandbaby Kara's Birthday! I can't believe she is going to be 9 years old! She has been such a joy to have around and I have loved every minute of seeing her grow, and become her own person! Being a Grammy is the best thing that ever happened to me!

Last Night:
Last night the old log cabin that is behind our house burned. I don't think that it burned to the ground, but it is a total loss. It has been here since we moved here in 1978, and even before that! Probably since the 40's at least. It's a shame that people have no respect for something that old and set fires like that. Yes, they think it was probably arson. It had alot of beautiful knotty pine wood in it. A real shame to see something destroyed like that. Really sad! Well Kara and I are off to go shopping, so see ya next time...
