Kathleen aka dayspring39

Hello Kathleen. I'm lucky enough to be the first to welcome you. Tell us a little more about you. Are you an RVer or going to be? We have everything here from fulltimers to part-timers to those who are planning, and some that just like to be a with a bunch of ladies who chat about everything under the sun. You will find them a very friendly bunch.

Hi there Kathleen, I'm sure you'll enjoy being here. It is fun and informative. Where is Normal, Ill? We are from Nashville, Indiana just south of Indy. It is cold there too. Right now we're in Mexico.

Welcome to our forum, Kathleen. Tell us a little about yourself...we like to get to know you. I hope you enjoy browsing through our topics, and just jump right in and join in a discussion anytime. You'll see we love pictures...of your rig, your pets, your travels, or anything that interests you. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Hi Kathleen,
Glad to see you made it over here - as you can see by the 2 other posters, we are a very nosy group of women.

Wander around a little, read posts - and join in anywhere you would like. Do you read? We are doing a book club - well, we call it a book club, but if you go to that page, you'll see how laid back we are. And lots of the ladies here (not me) are very talented - crochet, sew, etc - so there's a whole section for those of you with talents. Again, look around, and yep, when you feel comfortable, share more - info, pictures, whatever you feel comfortable with.

Welcome, I saw where you were our newest member, so glad to find you have posted. We love new people here, like to know all you care to tell us . Do you have an r.v. of some sort or want to get one or its in the future or what, we have ladies in all situations here, as was said earlier, if you just want to join a great group of ladies, you're welcome. Do you have a hubby? Some do and some don't here. Tell us all about yourself We are so glad you have joined us. Hopefully soon you will think its the best thing you've done for yourself in a long time. We have a campfire that goes all hours of the day , someone is always adding firewood. Check all the areas out and think you will enjoy, add your two cents, we want to hear from you.

Stay warm up there, its cold here in N.C. too !! If it can snow in La., know telling what we might get anywhere this winter. So far not to good.

Sure glad you posted,

Carol

Welcome, its nice to greet another new member, this is a great place, very friendly
ladies. Some have hubby's and some don't, some have RVs and some don't, some go
LOTS of places and some don't go anywhere, (uhhhh, that would be me ) But I
do live in my fifth wheel full time and I do hope to go somewhere someday.
Jump right in anytime, don't be shy, nobody bites here.

Welcome Kathleen. (My earlier post went off somewhere into the airwaves.) We're always glad to have new members and want to know all about you. We're a friendly, slightly crazy, bunch. Check out the campfire or Barbzeee's morning table. Feel free to jump in anywhere or anytime.

Hello & welcome to the site.

Welcome Kathleen!
I'm new to the forum also. I live in Indiana and like you am freezing. Bring on the spring!

Thank you all for the very very warm welcome... Normal is in central Illinois more north... north of Springfield... I live in a 16 x 80 mobile home... have a 28' fleetwood flair class A motor home... I am a window and am 69 years old as of 12-1... I have a dog Shadow he is my constant companion... I have 4 children twin girls, a boy and a girl in that order! I have 8 grandchildren 4 boys and 4 girls (6 are in college)... and one great granddaughter... I retired from school bus driving a year ago this coming Jan... now sure wish I were back with the money situation... I have worked at many jobs: selling portraits for Olan Mills Church division in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio as well as upper and lower Michigan... I did that for several years... before that I was in collections for several years... I worked in electronics for several years after getting my degree in Florida... all that technical stuff is lost in my mind... I owned and operated (as well as lived in) a huge home that I made into an adult foster care home... took care of 6 to 7 ladies 24-7 as well as a disabled husband and 4 teen age children for sereral years... have done many many other short term jobs as well... I enjoy writing... would love to publish a book if I ever get it finished... I got my 1990 motor home last year in the spring (07)... have not traveled much with it... hope this gives you all a thumb nail sketch of me!

may your day be full of good things,
Always,
Kathleen

Kathleen, boy do I respect you! There was a couple here this summer who have 3 adult fosters- and they have no children and no disabled husband - oh my gosh, you had your hands full. That takes a special person to be able to do that. Kudos to you.

I also have done lots of different things. I often wonder how some people have stayed in the same job for 40 years - I get bored and move on LOL - but has made for an interesting past. Thanks for all the info - it's great - and you fit right in with all of us. I hope you get a chance to get out on the road with that new/old rv you have.

Kathleen, it sounds like you could write a very interesting book about your life!

Welcome, Kathleen.....You are like alot of us....Jack of all trades....master of none..... I think that's why we are who we are....just enjoying our lives and other people....Hope you enjoy it here....we really are a bunch of crazy gals.....
