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!

KARA, MULTIPLICATION TABLES AND COOKIES

Kara:
Yesterday, Kara and I had a good day. We did some coloring, with the new crayons that I bought on Thursday, since I couldn't find my crayons that I keep here for the Grand Kids. Then before we went to bed wouldn't ya know, I found the old crayons at the end of the bed in a plastic bag with some more coloring books! The old saying works, if ya can't find something, go buy another one of what ya lost and then, right after ya open the package and can't take it back, then ya find the old one! Another $5.00 bites the dust! LOL! You can't just buy a small package, it has to be a big package, then ya find the other big container that ya bought, cos ya couldn't find the one ya bought before that! LOL! It's a vicious cycle, anyway we now have lots of crayons, and we colored some pictures together. Haha!

Multiplication Tables:
Kara had homework to do this weekend, so we worked on her multiplication tables, because she has a test on them Monday. She evidently was absent when they started on them in her class so she didn't know how to do them. We got all the way through the 7's done. Which is where she is supposed to be, so now she is up to date with the rest of the class. She did a good job! After dinner as a reward for working so hard we made her favorite chocolate chip cookies, and some white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies for Papa! They were just the kind that are in the dairy case, but she enjoyed putting them on the pan and putting them in the convection oven. Then after they cooled she took them off the pan and put them on the plates. I was even able to sneak some multiplication problems in on her using the cookies! Lol! They turned out pretty good!

Today:
We spent some time redoing some of her papers just to make sure she has the concept down pat on how to do them, and she did great! Then about 3:30 p.m. we loaded up her things and took her to the place that Jamie works so he could take her home, instead of making the trip out to our house after he got off work. After picking up a few groceries that we forgot the other day, and a couple of crochet hooks for me we came home. I needed the crochet hooks because I couldn't get to the ones in the fiver. With the slides closed I couldn't open the doors to the cabinet that they were in. We didn't want to open the slides, and get water on the seals of the slides just for a few crochet hooks. Since it has been so warm, well not too warm 50's here, but we'll take it! Everything is still dripping from melting snow and ice so that is why the seals would have gotten wet. If we were going to leave the slides open it wouldn't have been a problem, but we have more room in the drive with them closed, and we didn't want the water to freeze when it got cold again and maybe damage the seals. Needless to say I now have a set of crochet hooks for the house, and the fiver. Oh well it works for me! LOL!! Well that brings us up to date now on how we spent the weekend, so we'll see what tomorrow brings. Maybe a rainbow... Somewhere
