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!

This Saturday the Diva got New Shoes / Quotes!

Diva:
   The Diva got new shoes! No, not me, the Beast (our truck) I am not a Diva! Mike and Jamie (son) got the new brake  shoes, (pads) on the truck today. Turns out she really did need them, one was metal on metal! That's not a good thing, and that was where the squealing noise was coming from! So we can check new brake pads, or shoes off the list of things for the Beast. Her list is getting longer, mine keeps getting shorter because of her!  I think I may be getting jealous of her. Haha! Let's hope she will be happy for a while now before she wants something else new! 

Another Good Quote:
   "You are never  too old to set another Goal, or Dream a new Dream" by C S Lewis.  That is another good quote that  reminds me that no matter how old we get it is not too late to set, and reach new goals. I like that! I like the fact that we can always have hope, if we want it.
   Do you know someone who is always down, and acts like they have lost their last friend, all  the time? Nothing good ever happens to them, and they never have a good day? Constantly being around people like that will pull you down, and steal your  joy. I found that out the hard way.
   I am a firm believer in karma. I believe what goes around, comes around, and that you reap what you sow. I also believe your mindset has a lot to do with your health and your life. You have to want something bad enough to attain it. If you give up on yourself first, then how are other people supposed to help, and be there for you? I think you have to be willing to help yourself, and find yourself worthy enough for respect before others will give it back to you. This is just my opinion, and I know, everyone has one, and we all know, they usually stink lol! I feel like if we project a positive outlook, we will attain a positive outlook, and get that same outlook back. So that is where all these quotes come in for me. I am trying to improve my attitude. The more you get to know me, the more you will see that is how I am. There are times, like yesterday that I have a minor meltdown,I wouldn't be human if I didn't. I guess that is why robots don't have emotions! Most of the time I try to do that privately though, so I am not responsible for bringing others down. Hope you're not getting tired of the quotes, cos when I see something that speaks to me I like to share it.

Fiver:
   Today Mike plugged the fiver in! He didn't open the slides, but that will come soon. I think it is supposed to rain tomorrow so we'll wait to open the slides, plus it is my job to make sure everything is out of the way for the slides to open, and I can't do that right now. So maybe I will be able to check things out Tuesday. If I can use my crutches to walk, then I will be able to get up the steps into the fiver. I was able to get in the fiver after my knee replacement, so I should be able to do now with no problem. I just need the doctor's okay before I can use my crutches, and put a little bit of weight on my foot. Just think, with all the new items the Diva has gotten, and the weather stays nice, we should be ready to roll! Well, I have to be able to walk too, lol! So just a few minor hang ups to get through, then we'll be on the move again! Yippee, I can't wait.

Time:
   Do you have a problem with time slipping through your fingers? I think I do, because it it time to get this posted, and it feels like I just started writing it. I will have to save the rest of my thoughts for the next post, if I can find them rattling around in my head.  So see ya's next time...
