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

Good morning from hot, sticky Wildwood! I'm sitting here with my mug of brew and a Nonni's. I introduced biscotti to DB yesterday and now he's hooked too.

The plan today is 'there is no plan'. Don't ya just love those lazy summer days? Later we will stop by brother's and cook out..but till then it's time to put the feet up and read. Maybe I'll decide on a little nap at some point. What a life.

There is a semi-permanent resident parked across from us and the man is putting a deck on. He's been at it slowly for the last 2 days and I can imagine it's quite a feat in this humidity. I mentioned to Tommy that I almost expected him to go over and offer to help...and he said, "yeah, I thought about it". I'm telling you, retirement is going to be hard on my BF. He sure doesn't know how to relax. I think he needs to get a hobby. I sure have enjoyed traveling with him though. Molly and I usually go it alone so I wasn't sure how this would work out. We're down to our last week of this adventure and neither of us are sporting strangulation marks as yet.

I hope you all enjoy a good day whether it be working, traveling or just relaxing. Be safe!

Gooood Moooooorning!!!!

Raising my mug in salute to ya Barbz and everyone else too. Been swilling that brew since 5:15am dang it. Woke up before the alarm, tried to go back to sleep for just a few minutes more, but???? My bladder and Shade weren't gonna have any of that! Gads I don't know what's worse? The needing to get into the bathroom or Shade needing to go out? There are those mornings that I simply can't ignore or convince either one to hush and let me go back to sleep. ~sigh~

Ahhhhh Barbz you had best believe that most everyone is checking out what you post first thing in the morning. Hole lot more looking and reading than there are posting back to it for sure. But reading they are. I try in the evenings to read and catch up but I admit I don't read every single thing and only sometimes do I post back. And you know for sure that I read your morning coffee post. Which frustrates the billy b-gosh out of me some times. You write of something then I have to go looking for it to see what the heck I missed out on!

Hey Carol I've been 'thru' Nashville IN but sure can't do much site seeing when your driving a tractor trailer. Parking spots are kinda hard to find. hehehe I saw that flamingo flag you teased us with. That's a good looker with the two of them birds flirting with the people.
And Liz's pictures? They were great. It's amazing that we all see the same things? But she takes the time to take a picture of it. Like the bee on the thistle. He looked busy as a bee (HA) and happy too. You were in my neck of the woods. And right up I81 too. The kids and I have been wanting to get down to Cherokee for at least a day but haven't made it yet.

Ok that's it for me. Bummer!!! It's that time, Kelly is dressed and ready to go out the door. Maybe someday I wont have to hurry up and run off in the mornings every morning? LOL

Hope everyone has a great day and stays safe.

Love to all

Good morning...good morning...I'm sitting here kicking myself for going to work today. Half the shops are going to be closed and the CO I have right now drives me crazy...and with just my shop open in my unit he is going to be around all day long. This is a big weekend around here...Sunday is the reception for my friend's daughter and her husband in our yard...have to get the patio and the yard spiffed up a little tonight and tomorrow. The tent goes up tomorrow...there will be a storm tomorrow night...I just know it...Murphy's Law. Already have two porta potties in the yard...lovely lawn ornaments! But hey...we're neutral territory so that's why the reception is in our yard...parents had a nasty divorce and dauaghter said the only way they could have a reception was if it was on neutral territory. We're friends with both parents and have a half a block...Gotta go...the whistle is blowing my sign to get in the car and wait for the guy I car pool with.

Good rainy morning, all......yeap, still raining here.....we're trying to get our bodies going today, but the rain has us being lazy this AM......got some shopping for the trip to do today and of course, the never ending laundry..... Ernie had hope to get the tarp and screen room down and put away today, but looks like it will be tomorrow or Sunday......But we'll get it all done by Monday......

Okay, need more coffee and a sticky bun, maybe, Barb.....energy needed here.....

Have a great day, all.....will check in again later...

Top of the Mornin' to you - May your day be happy and cool and either dry or wet whichever you need.
We had a very lazy day yesterday - I worked on my quilt (one I'm making for me) I'm using autumn leaves as the theme but can't find the material I want. Should have bought it last year when I saw it....Hate when I do that.
Today we have to go into Bloomington about 20 miles west to pick up Bill's glasses and we will probably eat a late lunch at O"Charleys - yes I found one there! No cooking tonight. Will also stop at a used bookstore (only paperbacks) there and load up. Bill made me a great bookcase - takes up one whole wall, ceiling to floor so I need to read a lot to fill it. Problem is I read faster then my favorite authors write. And books are getting so expensive.
Saw a young buck out back last evening eating the corn. He looked at me like "Its about time you got more food for us." Also bought some potted mums for the planters. My kind of plant - just stick the pot in the planter and water. I always said when I retired I would get a one bedroom condo and a plastic flower.....sure screwed that one up - huge house on 5 acres.... the full timing is begining to look better and better to me. But then I'd have to get rid of all of my "stuff."
Enough rambling....see you around the campfire later.
It's our 2nd oldest sons birthday today - 48 already - he's the one who owned the snakes. Found out from one of his brothers that he, Randy, built the chopper that the lead character of a new series on TV rides in the show. Will find out more about it later today when we talk to him.

Good morning Barb et al...

Lingering in the cg awhile this morning to get caught up with all of you. Won't have connection for several days. Stayed up 'til midnight last night...unheard of for me!

Yes, Barb, I read and enjoy your post first, and always enjoy your graphics. (A lot of us will be flippin' those hamburgers this weekend, I'll bet) Sometimes yours is the only one I have time to read and it keeps me informed about everybody's doings. I don't thank you enough for getting up before the crack of dawn and taking your time to do this! So thank you, thank you, thank you!

Going to be a little gtg this weekend with Cedar in the Adirondacks, yep. I'm sure you'll be hearing about it.

Going to have a 2nd cup of coffee and post once more some pictures. Have a great day!

GOOD MORNING----GOOD MORNING---GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!

Well the moving truck is backed up to the front door-------- Hubby & I loaded the moving truck until midnight last night-----slept in until 6:00 this morning-sure felt good to sleep in!!!!!!!!

Finding a moving truck to rent on Labor day week end was a hard one-- I guess everyone is moving this week end-------- we reserved one- to be brought into a town about an hour from us-as that was as close as anyone had one----& when we went to pick it up it was 8 ft longer than we ordered!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks huge!!!!!!!!!! Same price as the smaller one------- but a lot of truck to drive on Labor Day week end with all the traffic for over 5 hours!!!!!!!!!!

Well I need to get busy--------- IF ya don't hear from me for a few days I'm not dead!!!!!!
later OO

I don't always respond to your morning post - as often it's afternoon (or later) when I read it - but I read the whole thing. Couldn't agree with you more about how politicians spend money - and how much money is spent on the conventions, etc - it's plan sickening - our whole election system stinks. Ah, don't get me going there LOL - not trying to start any debates - but geez Louise - I hope someday, something is done that make sense - starting with a REALLY LOW cap on how much they can spend - and how much the conventions can cost (or, how about - make the conventions be paid entirely from contributions - instead of out of our pockets - bet we wouldn't be having trouble knowing if social security was being funded if we werent' going further into debt by some of these things).

OK - I'm quitting before you all behead me

I can't wait to hear about Cedar and Liz's little gtg this weekend. Sure wish I could be with them. That is such beautiful country. It's so hard for me to be staying in one place for so long. I can't wait to meet up with as many of you as possible in early November! And to be away from here for a few days again. I'm going to be thrilled to get back on the road full-time in the spring. I don't feel like a full-timer when I'm just living in my rig in one place.

As to all the other posts on the forum - I actually do try to read all of them. I will admit that there are times I skim - or I wouldn't have any other life. And, yep, when you miss a day or two - it can be impossible to read them all - so I won't always do so then - and have to stop myself from feeling guilty. I do know that when I'm back travelling full-time and moving more, and without a good connection for several days - that I won't be able to read as much somedays -

Zeee, as Liz said - your recap really, really helps - especiall then. I hope you know how much it is appreciated!
