New blog post...http://abbylearnsspanish.blogspot.mx/

And I just got this email message from my financial advisor (I call her my Money Momma):

This morning the company got a buyout offer at $83.50. ( The gain should cover your new trailer). Good news. When you are back we should discuss this further.

Now, you may ask, "What new trailer?"

The answer would be I HATE NOT HAVING A COUCH or TABLE for sitting - always having to sit upright on the bed. ACK (as Soos would say).

So, I'm looking around and found this cute little bugger...for when I travel with someone else. I figure I can cut (or have cut) some planks to make the bed a "big bed" when alone...

It's a Livinlite 16 footer. Nice to dream, isn't it? Oh, and someone with more brains than I pointed out there is most likely not as much storage as I have now...

Dang Mitch! Can't you behave yourself even doing laundry ?!? :o Hope you're feeling better soon.

New trailer - dang - buy me one! Ah - you'll figure out any storage problems, you seem to be pretty inventive.

You don't know about storage....it is just another one of those things to check about.... :)

And done right, maybe that 2nd bed could make for a nice storage area - OR a place for when someone travels with you. You are smart, you could easily figure out how to do that!

Sorry about the rib; hope better soon.
Maybe your broker was referring to your new truck??? Either way, I like the layout of the rig you posted.
Good to see Liz cooling it.

Ah Mitch, sorry about your rib-I know how much that hurts; I broke several in a fall from my horse some years ago and they still get cranky when the weather changes. I like that layout in the new trailer, looks nice and open. Since I don't know what your present trailer's layout is, I can't advise about storage space or lack of. Still, you won't really know unless you try it, right?
Any day spent in the company of my animals is a good day.

Someone just told me you can bruise a rib. I'm guessing that's what it is. Not a crack.
Tonight, I can touch it with a bit of pressure.
So, I'm good to go.
Now, on to that trailer.

I don't get the Jim Bean<sic> and Marker's Mark reference?

you might have some one tape your rib area might give it the support that you need. and remember how the kids say a band-aid would make the owie hurt less? I always scoffed at them but then for some reason had a band-aid on a sore and it does feel better...gives you an excuse to use the laundry services :lol:
Your being out watching the guy get unstuck reminded me of a time at the campground...they had brought a crane in to left the toilet so the bladder could be removed as it was leaking so here we are the hosts the few campers we have Jerry one of the campers set out his chairs brought out pop and popcorn doesn't take a lot does it?
looks like a nice trailer

Good thing you didn't fall into the dryer with the sock! :o They might not have found you in there! :lol:

I like the layout of that TT. The slide out gives a lot more room inside. Abby could have her own bed. I personally would opt for the couch instead of the dinette. Much more comfy for sitting and lounging and has removable tables you can use to eat at. Plus another place to sleep. I was looking at a TT similar to that but with a queen bed instead of the 2 twins. A good size for one person.

Hope you feel better. Don't laugh, cough or sneeze too hard tho!

Nice trailer -- and company. For the weight, would you consider going a little larger and getting the 21-foot? It would still give you a couch with a TV built in opposite it, and a queen bed. PLUS I think you'd find you'd have more than enough storage, by the looks of the pictures. And you'd have a pull-out bed for anyone who'd travel with you. Speaking from personal experience, I picked my trailers for just myself. Anyone coming along would have to make due with either the sofa or dinette. I just didn't travel with many folks. And of course Jed was happy with anything that was soft. :)

It's fun to dream. :)

Here is a link to the one I was looking at last summer. It is 20' with a slideout. Not much heavier than the one you are looking at. Just another option...
