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

Good morning Zeee and all our sisters!

I'm slowly settling back into routine here at home. I arrived back here yesterday at mid-day. I am pretty sure Soosie is still there and will return home today. We were lucky and only had a little rain. Actually it was before the actual festival began. Very good luck.

We packed up some Sat. night and then finished yesterday a.m.... doing the dump routine (they had a dump station as you drive out... but for $15! Worth it I guess.) We stopped at a rest area coming south on I-87 for a few minutes then on home. Kath wanted to get over to the school to work in her classroom a bit today and do housework at her place, and I wanted to get some housework done here before this week's steamroller starts. It's our county fair so i'll be busy. Tomorrow I'm a judge at the 4-H bldg and then three youngest grands show their cattle on Wed. and Friday.

Hope all of you are doing well and having a great day!

All Sistahs out there - we have been duly chastized! Man, I felt bad at the first one and then BLAM - 2 more woven throughout Monday's post!

Let us make an effort to never let our Beloved Weekday Morning Cheer be disappointed in us again!? Okay?

When I first joined this group, Zeeeeeee wasn't around doing the Morning Show. So, a couple of times, I started coffee. Then Barb came back and I saw and learned what the column was all about and felt awful for having intruded in her 'space'. Now I know for sure I was wrong! And I felt the same way about birthdays - wrong again. So, to all you new ladies, jump right in for the Morning Column (although NO ONE does it quite like our Zeeeeeee) and wishing a happy birthday to anyone.

WE WON'T LET YOU DOWN AGAIN, Zeeeee!!!

And Happy Monday to everyone! I'm off to Paducah for some Cracker Barrel Grits for breakfast. YUMMO!

good morning good morning
School starts today so I'm just grabbing my cuppa and gotta get dressed.
I never saw a sunday morning post until this morning, wth? Something
wrong with my "view new posts" button? I swear, its the truth Barbz and
if I had seen it I would have said good morning, so sorry Mitch that I didn't
see it.
Barbz, daughter is healing up fine, there were no torn ligaments on the mri,
just the small fracture. The dr's had her stay in the sling and now some minor
therapy exercise. She is mending well.
Ok, time to get dressed, have a great day.

Good Morning to all - best thoughts for a wonderful day. Around here it is a little cool - inside not out. Debated about metioning this but need some place to spew. We bought an RV over the weekend. Yes I know we already have a wonderful, big, pretty, comfortable, has it all one. But a while back someone mentioned Ms Tioga and George so we have been following his blog for some time. The Driver has become enamored of his life style - visiting and parking in all the small villages in Mexico. I must admit I too think that is great. It is something we really can't do in Alfie. We've already taken down enough power lines in Mexico with her.
So he read an ad for something he couldn't refuse. Its a 29 foot Class C Jamboree with only 17,000 miles on it. Price was really cheap - now its the "other stuff" that will kill us. Picked it up Sat and he already has it all torn apart inside to remodel. It's in the driveway sitting next to Alfie - like mother and pup.
Alfie goes into doctor tomorrow to get refrigerator recall taken care of. So if you see a post titled GRRRRRRRR it's propable just me spewing.....Will post pictures etc later and as work progresses. I know the 7 of us spent one full year in a 24 foot - but this just seems small after what we (I am) are used to. I know quit b**tc**g And no we are not wealthy - pulled a hunk from savings to do this - and will be paying a good amount every month for Alfie to just sit there. Best stop right now...

Wow, everyone is up and at 'em this Monday Morning. I thought I would post this little chuckle here to get our Monday started off with a laugh. If it's not supposed to be here, move it.

Good Morning....Remember (regarding having 1 or 2 MH...) that no one as really been able to support the idea that for many of us RV'ing is a good economic idea ... unless maybe you are full timing. Those of us with stick houses are driven for other reasons..... (Who said crazy, was that the voice in my head?.... ) I think Miss Tioga is 27 ft so I doubt the extra 2 ft will get you in too much trouble. I think I am spoiled with only being 8 ft wide though. On those little streets ever inch counts as George has discovered. Hey, if you want to fit everywhere, Margie is trying to find a good home for Ms B Haven!!!!!!! Her set up really is sweet, for those who are used to living in small NYC apartments!

Get to take the step mother to the eye doc today....she is worried that she is losing the ability to read (macular degeneration...) and the doc might not be able to do much for her at 88. I am trying to decide if I give her feed back regarding my opinion of her actions on Friday.......She had asked me three times on Thursday if my brother could come and help us get to the bone doc appt. scheduled on Friday. I wasn't sure but considered that she might have been scared about the transferring into and out of the car. SO....I asked my brother and he came. Unfortunately for him, I was a few minutes later arriving. Apparently, she lectured him on how he should "help" me more and be more responsible (?) She knew enough not to say anything to him in my presence..what does that say. My SIL shared the story with me on Sunday..... I asked, he came... duh? This is the lady that wonders why she doesn't have a good relationship with her step-son!.... I know that my brother and SIL will support me in any way they can if I ask.....We have agreed that I am the point person....my brother has also admitted that he knows that I can remain calmer than he can when the Step mother's behavior and comments go off..... Oh well, apparently we are still dealing with a clueless lady!!! All vented no. I feel better, thank you!

On to check on some banking issues and off to the care facility..... Good journeys today where ever they may take you. Some journeys are on the road and others are of the heart.......

Hee hee.... not to worry Ava,... just us fooling around! we really did it THIS morning,... Monday. Shhhhhhhh..... don't tell Zeeee!

(we love ya, Zeee!)

Well it is a rainy day here. First rain we have seen in a few weeks. I will admit that we needed it. But I want summer back...I am not ready for fall yet.
The thing is that temp drop with arrival of the rain. That is what is starting to get to me..the drastic change in temps they have always been that way...i guess that is a sign that I am getting old.

Well I spent most of yesterday working with Kodie on the potty thing. We do this about every 6 months spend a couple of days to see if she cognitively understands what she needs to do. Well for the first time we have had success and progress. Not sure she has really connected it quite yet. As I take her to the toilet about every 20 minutes. We read a story and then get off. Well yesterday we timed it out and she pee'd on the potty..that was after about 6 accidents and me taking her to the bathroom. So by the time she went to bed last night..she had kept her underwear dry for about 4 hours and used the potty 5 times. Mind you we had been giving her a ton of water all day. That is more progress then we have ever had. We have never been able to get her to go on the potty.

So we will continue today and see how it goes.

Good Afternoon, All.....Geez, it's hot and muggy here today....got the A/C going in the 5er and sure glad we have it... Got the Monday morning chore done...laundry... by Noon today....now staying cool and reading posts here....

Internet is still hit and miss for me here in the woods, but try to say Hi when ever I can get on....

Yep, the GTG in Sept. is coming together nicely.....will do some "fine-tuning" closer to the end of this month with Paulette....will keep ya' all posted...

Okay, off to see what's going on with all of you....

Have a great day, all..........

I want to make sure everyone understands my first post on this morning's coffee column was meant in all sincerity! I felt really bad that Zeeeeeee felt bad. What would this board be without our Z? (Isn't that kinda poem-eee??) So, please know that I meant no offense. I love this place!

Not quite morning, but what the heck. I've been wondering how the weather knows that school starts this week here? It's been very hot and humid all summer and now we have lots of rain, thunder, high winds, and supposedly some hail tonight. With all these weather extremes, including the winter, I'm just not sure how people who've lived here all their lives manage. I guess they get used to it. Maybe I'm a California wimp, as I wrote in my blog last winter. Whatever it is, I'm going to be really glad to get back there for a while, to some DRY heat and not so darned many bugs.
