We are all hoping for ya.. that this crappola will leave you .....

Mitch (Michelle) thanks for the kind words..it's always nice to feel I'm doing something right..cause some days ya just got to wonder.. It's been like fishing in an empty pond..cause everyone seems to be in limbo..

Birdbybird.. (Tina)...Now that is some neat camping in NC.. and the Smokies.. is one of my favorite places.. but Tina.. that Kayak experience..mmmm I know I'd be turned over ..and turned out LOL I love your little bus..it's neat I even went back into show your rigs..had a good looksie.. I like it ..and ya know I did notice the crates.. just like mine I got a bunch LOL ya can always tell a dog show person LOL... but hey.. good photos..and looked like you all enjoyed it too ! Critters did !!!

Oh oh.. look what happens when an invasion of a thread happens...LOL....Almost there (Lenora) started it off.. Lenora..now ya know how things can twist here...ooooooh then along comes Vicki.. (you is a hoot there gal ) You went for it.. LOL>.. and of course...Cedar. and Retired Happy (Karen)..(0h yeah ).. Now I have to dish in... Lenora, my question to you ... ARe you considering Full time or Just to use as a Get Away..(not from a heist LOL ).. as far as budget goes..mmmmm food is food.. I don't figure it in.. cause I have to eat.. whether I'm home or away from home.. right ...?????? but I think like the rest .. if you're gonna wait till the sun don't shine Nelly.. you is gonna be sitting in your living room just watching the boob tube..(still not bad) and you have to figure what you are gonna buy.. New, or Used.. Lenora you've been on the forums a long time..and I'm sure you must know by now all of us in some ways or another live on some kind of budget..and we still get out there.. Staying in State Parks is cheaper.. First and foremost (oh that's a good insurance company by the way ) Ask yourself.. What are ya gonna be doing ..weekend get aways or just travel the country.. full timing.. then go from there.. I guess.. but this again is your decision.. You know we are always here anxiously willin to give all good sound advice..You should know us all by now .. for sure.. but Good Luck.. and I hope you find what you are looking for ...

LOL Been there done that ..ooooooooh yeah.. and remember I was the won.. yelling in the campground as others lay sleeping.. (the Russians are coming hahahaha.. Tornado take cover ) I ran to the showers.. concrete.. me and the critters..and guess what no one else even budged.. in Wildwood Florida.. remember that Fernie..ouch.. Lenora posted a good link regarding Tornados... but they do me in.. I mean to tell ya have spent many times in storm cellars while visiting in laws in MS and crossing the USA.. have that radio on and watch them skies.. ouch.. even caught one in Montana just outside of Butte.. Weather radio is on.. I don't play the guessing game..

Good Morning Zeee! and all our sisters....

ahhhhh... no hurry this morning. just as life should be. what's THIS? now Middy is teasing for her breakfast and I guess a hungry cat can't be ignored!

Today will be right here at home ... lots of housework. And you know what? I'm glad. I'll enjoy it. So,.... off I go to get the purring girl her cat food and me a dish of Total and skim milk,..... (yes, and some sugar!). I just added some chocolate fudge to the breakfast table,.... haha... I know it's not a b'fast food, but sneak back into the kitchen later and grab a piece of it.... ok?

have a great day!

GOOD MORNING, BARBZEE and EVERYONE!

So far no rain this morning,and I am waiting to get out the mower and hay my front lawn as it's now up to my knees! I've managed to keep the back shorter, where the trailer and screen room and all the camping spaces are, but by the time I get ready to do the front, it is raining again. It's a very comfy 62 degrees this morning, and I will mow even if the grass doesn't get dry this morning.

Thanks for the wrap-ups, Barb, and the coffee. Now I have to sip and read the rest of the posts. My weekend camping trip was wonderful!! We had a great time, although a bit too short.

I got my trailer all set up again when I got home from the Ausable Campsite, and fixed the front porch as my daughter had removed the large bar and swivel chair set I had out there for her new front porch. That bar set I had here took up way too much space out there, as I had bought it when I didn't have the enclosed area, and it was outside on the corner in a screen room. It worked fine out there, but was always too big for the inside area. I'll take some pics of the new set up and post them with this message. Anyway, it was after I left the chatroom last night that I realized I hadn't eaten anything all day....no time to even think about eating. It was Molly who reminded me, as I hadn't fed her, either! So I opened an Armour instant meal and microwaved it, at some dark orange chocolate, and crashed until about 6:00 am. When I got up then, it was misting/raining and dark and very cool, so I went back to bed until now! What a luxury to make decisions like that!

Lots to do today and the next couple of days to prepare for my son to fly home from FL and then we will all head to my daughter's for her first 4th of July party! Gotta go shopping for my special 'Recipe' ingredients, some paper goods for the party, and think about a making a list of things for me to pack this time around! I can't WAIT to be all together once again!

Time to drink coffee, read other posts, check email, and then MOW like crazy! The grass is so high, I hope it doesn't kill the lawn underneath it!



New table/seating area on porch, replacing large bar.

Bye for now.......have a great day, y'all!

Good morning ladies! My, I have a lot of catching up to do with all your doings. Hope I have time to do it soon, or I'll never be up-to-date. It takes so long to prepare the Ididaroad posts that I'm up half the night and there's no time to read anything. Then we're off to more adventures the next day and the cycle continues. So, I count on your posts, Barbzee, to keep me at least a little informed. And those cute pictures are always fun.

Carol and I have both had colds...Carol first, now me, and we're trying not to pass it on to anyone else in the group. Washing hands a lot, etc.

Soos, that sitting area on your porch sure looks inviting!

Hope your week goes well, we'll check in after our Denali adventure.

[AlmostThere]

Morning, ladies!
Just wanted to tell Zeee that she is being lifted in prayer for her procedure to go smoothly tomorrow. You know a big chunk of our hearts go with you wherever you are.
Also Zeee asked about my future RV travel (should I ever take the leap and purchase one! ). I think for the most part I'll only be doing short trips around the state, close to home. No fulltiming for me. I love having a stick and brick to come home to.
Soos, love the pictures of our place. So inviting! Thanks for sharing.
Well, off to check the updates on the Ididaroad group!
Safe travels all!

It was nice chatting with Zeee last night (I think it was morning, tho) and again this morning (her afternoon, probably) when she asked me what I was doing up LOL - as I was up still when she GOT up today. Ah, the difference of time zones - but I didn't get much sleep last night.

Peaches and I had a good long walk and now we're about ready to pull out to head into Denali.

Have fun all - be good, or if you can't be good, at least be safe - and see you when I see you (possibly tonight, but after that I'll definitely have no service for at least 5 days).

Oh, and I posted to some of the threads (like Ernie's hearing, Lori's surgery, my thoughts on tornados which most of you will be aghast over) - fun to get back into things here - and now I'll get totally lost again.

Soos, great screened porch. Doesn't seem that Molly minds the rearranged furniture at all. I just love your area. I can see lots of 'nobody else' as I look out your views! That's a good thing...
