1992 American Eagle-New Here
Posted: Thu Jan 23, 2014 11:57 pmI'm new here, kind of an odd situation, don't really fit anywhere.
I'm almost 68, married 46 years, have a mentally challenged 42 year old daughter that travels with me. My husband is still working and works out of the countrym he doesn't plan to retire till 70, I wonder if he will then. He isn't much on RVing, I mean he is always gone and likes to be home when he gets home, but he doesn't care if I go and supports my decision. Our DD loves it. I haven't gone as much as I like, really just started this about 4 years or so ago and usually go on 1 big trip a year. On my 3rd RV, started with an 80 something Class C, had to many issues, got it to just see if I enjoyed it. Next was a 2006 29 ft Winnebago gas engine with 2 slides, but the wind blew me all over. He tried all kinds of fixes that didn't work well. So hubby said he would get me one that doesn't blow all over so I ended up with my 38 ft diesel pusher with my 2005 Saturn Vue, stick.
Once we made sure the engine, tranny and things were good now we will move on to some other things.
Right now I'm in Quartzsite and waiting on a new fridge and a fix to my water heater. It's nice here and I'm enjoying it, plan to be here 10 days then on to where I don't know. I can be gone several weeks. We just moved from Houston after being there for 30 years back to our roots in southern Indiana. I love spring, summer, and fall there but not winter. And this one is a killer.
I wasn't sure where to introduce myself so sort of did here. Oh and our 18 year old kitty travels with us, the dog stays with MIL. Another reason we are back there she is starting to get alzheimers we think, so getting away long as I can. We will eventually have to have her go to a nursing home but so far she is still making it.
Anyway, I wrote a novel, kind of introducing and explaining our situation.
