OK - I'm back and already tweaked! Wrote a really nice post and seemed to have lost it - if this shows up twice - ignore me - at least once! I'm an old member (tough in a group that's only 4 years old...) but I've been BUSY! Full timed in a big Alpenlite for 3 1/2 years - have now downsized to my 75 GMC as I sold the Alpenlite to buy a little house in Bend, OR - from whence I came. Am in Quartzsite for the winter, boondocking on BLM land.
Have met wonderful people, online and in person and was convinced this afternoon to come back to the forum. I can't do chat because I can't keyboard terribly long, but I'll be lurking ladies! LOL And, yes, probably saying things from time to time. There's a mini GTG here right now, Carol B, Anita, Sheila and I. The gals who all came out in January were fabulous - well, OK - one guy came too....... They gave me the hutzpah to go visit the Slabs - something I wouldn't have done by myself. Regardless, you all mean a lot to me and I want to be a part of the fun again.
I'm leaving my GMC here in Quartzsite (I hope!) for the next year as I go back to Bend for the summer and then head to North Carolina in the fall. My oldest is at Duke Law and is pregnant with my first grandbaby. Oh my - I remember this time in my life - seems like deja vu all over again. I'm going to be their nanny until she graduates in May of 2014. I feel as if I am simply all over the place - but that's all part of the adventure. I traveled cross country twice last year with her, too and from NC as she interned in SF for the summer. I got to spend August on the east coast - is that the 'right' coast? Got to meet another forum gal of days past, Silverschooner, who lives in New Hampshire. We spent a delightful week together. I realize how much this group of virtual friends means to me and how many of you have become more than virtual friends. Like the real deal!
Talk soon! I guess I'm useful at towing big rigs and old motorhomes - and I don't know a ton, but once in my career I was a parts and service manager of an RV dealership......I've been RVing since I was 6 months old - if you count a teardrop as an RV! So yes Sharon M, you can keep track of me! Maybe..............

Love y'all
Kerry
