California Texan Saying "Hi"
Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2015 10:20 pmHi everyone,
Thought I would stop in and introduce myself. Seems only fair since I feel I've gotten to know many of you over several months of lurking. My name is Carol and I'm from the Dallas area (Irving, if you all are familiar with the Dallas suburbs). I've been a camper of sorts for as long as I can remember. My husband and I bought a 2000 Chinook back in 2008 and loved the freedom it gave us for traveling (husband had a medical condition). I lost David in May 2014, but don't plan to give up the RV life style. I love traveling, seeing new things and meeting new people. We were on the verge of upgrading to a larger unit, so I decided to go ahead and do it. This past December I bought a new-to-me 2006 32 foot Itasca Meridian. She's a beauty and I love it! A couple friends and I made the trip to New York to pick her up and drove her straight back to Dallas. Since she was winterized, we stayed in hotels, but I couldn't have asked for a better training period. We encountered just about every driving condition you can imagine (snow, mountains, turnpikes, rain, ice...you name it). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to take her out since (other than inspection and registration - which really doesn't count). But, I am totally excited and can't wait to get out and start exploring. As soon as this silly snow melts and it warms up a bit I plan to make a run down to the Texas hill country. Blue Bonnets should be out soon. And, I hear the Texas wine country is second only to California. We'll see...I'm a California transplant, so they'll have to be awfully good to convince me. Let's see...what else...I have a daughter (only child) who just found out she's pregnant. Totally excited to be a first time Grammie. We have a toy Yorkie that we share (Max: her dog - I'm the doggy day care). And, I guess that's it. You all seem like a wonderful group of women and I look forward to getting to know each and everyone. You all take care, Carol
PS - Her name is MEA (for my Most Excellent Adventures, which I plan to have!)
