A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Good morning everybody, sunshiny and chilly morning here in FL. They're predicting another hard freeze for tonight....enough, already!

Yep, those scales don't lie. Mtngal got us looking, gotta start on those extra 5 pounds. Maybe having to report on progress will motivate us to actually make some progress. Goal for today...avoid those sugary snacks & desserts, plus get outside (away from the kitchen) and do something. Hope it warms up enough to want to be outside. Possibilities that need doing...continue cutting & clearing brush in backyard, clean the pool and pool screen needs it too, or go for a long walk with Roe. Hmmm...

The supervisor at the city building inspector's office came yesterday, and decided sure enough, more needs to be done on that wall to bring it up to code. So, back to the building contractor and see how quickly we can accomplish it and at what cost???? Sure will be glad to get my house back. I remember feeling this way a year ago when Lowes was doing their disastrous work in my house. Remind me....no more projects for me.

Have a super constructive day....or, if not constructive, at least fun!

(Like the sparkly bluebird this morning, Barbzeee)

I'll be on the move today. Got the truck positioned last night but decided to wait until morning to lower the TT onto the hitch. Its darned cold. Even with 2 electric heaters running all night it was only 60 degrees in here in the morning. So I'm treating myself to a little Propane heat.
Gotta finish hitching, stowing, showering, dumping, then down off the mountain to get new tires on the TT. Then on my way.

Morning All. Peaches and I were going to leave yesterday for my g/f's for a couple days. However, I decided to keep my germs to myself. I am feeling better, so if my g/f is not skeered of my germs, will head there today and come back tomorrow afternoon. Peaches just loves Conni, so will be a treat for her also.

Have a great day, a great weekend, and if you're on the road, travel safe, see lots of new sites, and enjoy! Well enjoy whether you're on the road or not!

Gooooood Morning Sistahs!!!!

Brrrrr The sun is shining bright on my back porch but it sure is cold out there this morn. Temps right around 20f but the wind is blowing pretty good so it makes it even colder. Only suppose to be about 38 today. Dang weather. Tomorrow it's suppose to be warmer, high 40s but then they are calling for a wintry mix.

I am all showered and dressed. Decided not to wait until last thing. And besides if I do and I'm still in the shower or at least the bathroom when Kelly gets up she gets grumpy. sheesh! I've told her that if I were married to her I would dump her azz. She's a major grumpy puss in the mornings. Every once in a while I get a hair crossways and just get after her about it, I rag and pick. Call her my little loving ray of sunshine. Ohhhhhh!!!!

Jenny has come down sick, she went to the clinic yesterday and the verdict is that she has walking pneumonia. So of course she's grumpy too but at least I don't really have to deal with her grumpiness. That's David's job. Have no idea what was going on this morning but they were having words in the hall before he left for class this morning. ~sigh~ Young love, isn't grand.

Having one heck of a time here trying to post this morning. My fingers aint hitting the keys my brain is telling them to. Not to even mention that sometimes they run away with themselves sometime and type faster than my brain is spelling out the words. ? Is that possible? I think so. And I would guess ya'll know what I'm talking about.

Barbz still wishing you the very best of luck with your campaign on the dogs down there. Most of the time ya just got to keep plugging away at them before they notice and then you can get things changed.

Hey Sparkle! Have a good ride back west and drive safe!!! Keep us posted and will be seeing ya soon.

Beth, hope ya have a really good visit with your friend! Glad to hear your feeling better. I'm now on the down hill slide with my coughing crud. And I am so glad too, my ribs were getting really sore and my throat was feeling rough from all the coughing.

As to the dancing horses. I seen the Lipizzaner Stallions do a show. My Dad took me to one when I was in my early teens. OH MY GOD how beautiful. I was an absolute horse freak when I was younger. Kinda still am but have it under better control. HA!!! Have owned 2 and always wanted another one but it just never worked out that way. I have really kicked around the idea that when we finally have an RV to workamp at a dude ranch somewhere. Might not be a kid any more but I figure my hands can still handle a shovel and fork to clean stalls. Have wanted to do a camp trip on horse for years. Just might still happen too.

Opps!!! The resident grump is up and alive!!! Ohhhh! LOLOLOL Kelly is out here in the kitchen and Jenny just went in the bathroom. ?? I think I just heard the shower curtain rings slide? Oh he77 might be war in the house!!!! I'm gonna run for cover.

Hope everyone has a super fantastic day. Be safe and stay warm.

Love to all

Good morning everyone!

I hit the road early today as i had my annual physical yesterday and got the order for the usual annual bloodwork (fasting) so I got myself to the hosptial this a.m. so I could come home and have b'fast and coffee. Now that's done for another year unless something unusual happens along the way.

Today I'll finish my taxes. Will push through that and get them filed. I want that done too before i head back to work on Monday. If I get them done and have enough time left I'll watch a movie from Netflix before i head out to the basketball games late this afternoon. both our girls and boys varsity teams are playing in the finals for our league title. I expect the boys will win and the girls have a good chance too if their injuries are healed and back off the bench.

have a great day everyone!

Morning All
Cold but sunny start to the day here. Should warm enough for Nicky to have a play date this afternoon.

I'm back to the bookkeeping chore. Quicken is a great SW package for tracking finances but it sure requires a lot of "feeding" if you want really good, detailed report on where your money is spent. Some interesting surprises there if you haven't been paying close attention throughout the year.

The stock market is dropping again this morning. Sure makes it tempting to pull what $ left and hide it somewhere. Like so many others, thought I'd saved enough for comfortable retirement only to watch it evaporate in these troubled economic times. I do have faith it will recover but the time issue is not on the side of seniors.

Okay, off to find a fun project before going back to the books.

Good Morning all.
Looks like it'll be another nice day in Oregon. I'm sure Molly and I will go to the beach in a little while - high tide is about 10:30 so we'll go after that.
I got my rock tumbler yesterday so I need to find a place to put it and start it up !! I'm excited to get started with this new project.
I hope you all have a nice day and enjoy the gift.

Trudy, I got a Lortone and it is pretty quiet. I am on the second grind now(have to rinse them off tomorrow). The only thing that makes it complicated is doing this in the winter when I can't take it all outside to rinse. You can not rinse this stuff down your drains as it will set up like concrete and clog your pipes. When I get done with the first batch I'll post some pics. These are gems that Olivia and I "mined" for in NC this summer.

Soos, it depends on the size of the stones you are tumbling. The one I got holds 3 lbs of rock.

I can't wait till they get finished. BTW, this was something I got for my granddaughter...guess who likes it more!
