Big Smile Post #2

My note didn't appear on the last entry.

Wire found on tire from road trip, one tire to be replaced.
Surround sound did not get hooked up, but an AM/FM CD player did!
One chair not covered with plastic for the road trip, it was upside
down and has a black mark on it, to be replaced free.
Half time oven has a manufacturing problem, all removed from the
units, I have a small stove, microwave, three burners.
Satellite/cable hook up only done in the bedroom
No shelf for the TV like in the brochure. I have a suitable stand, it will
be right next to the settee.....I also have an ottoman,need a throw rug by
chairs.

He will be done with it in a day or so, I will then spend a day or so with
him, get the money from the credit union and bring her home.......

Wanted to have a house warming, but that might not be possible with
my time constraints and four IOWA basketball games between Friday
and Nov 13. Plus bowling, dentist, I will be going on a couple short
road trips in the area, to learn how to drive her on the Eisenhower
Interstate highway system.........

More pictures to follow, she isn't as long as I was visioning....that's great!

Big Smile on MY FACE!!

Three weeks and counting

Just another photo from the cabin in Colorado.
The RV will be here any minute now. It might be here,
but the man did not call. I have a new TV, a Sony Bravia,
a small Shark vaccuum, an indoor/ outdoor thermometer
like I have in the house, some new utensils for the kitchen,
and this wonderful stained glass candle holder that I saw
at the farmers market. I had just purchased my truck when
I saw this item, "Don't let your dreams be just that......."

So perfect for my decisions on my current future life. I am
sure everyone has said this before, I think I will go to______
for a visit or I'd like to live ____________. That's what I am
doing.....A new venture, maybe a new homestead. No more
dreams, I am going to do it, while I can.

My new home for the winter will be on South Padre Island,
Texas. I spent at least one day a week over there last winter,
so I am going to stay full time this year. The mobile will be
put on the market and I hope we can sell it fast.

Ya'll are welcome anytime, I have room for two in a hide-a-bed in
the living room. With the super slide out, I have a nice sized LR,
not cramped. I think I will buy some grass.....aka green indoor
outdoor carpet, to put under the awning, to cut down on the
dust, dirt, salt and sand........

I can't wait to get going........on the road........November 14...........


a few more photos of what I did last winter, riding the bike along
the shore line, stopping at Dolly Parton's in Branson, the beach and
the waves and the gulf, those birds on the golf course.....this summer at
state HS BB, the father of the Ankeny Hawk on the left.....we played
ball together in the summer co rec league. This young man is a
HS Jr, he was just a baby.......th interstae between Denver and Breck..

On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again........

I'll drive my Ram to the ocean and it won't be dry, a good old girl
drinking martini's on the beach, singing this will be the place I will
live....happily after ever after.....

Aloha ya'll..........

Once Again, Back Home Again

The last month has been busy, buying my new home and then going on
a road trip to Colorado. What a beautiful job done by Mother Nature.
We awoke two days to SNOW!!!! Not my favorite thing. By noon or earlier,
it had melted off. While on the road, my favorites CUBBIES won their
division and are headed to the playoffs. Needless to say....three and out,
right along with the Angels and Philly and maybe the Yanks tonight.
I will be making several blogs of my trip, so enjoy.....in less than a
month, I will be ON the Road again, to Texas.....

First stop, Chappelle Nebraska, Boomer and hubby Jim, me in my "new"
Corvette, Boomer on the golf course and the first view of the mountains
while driving on I 80....this time boomer took the pics....not me...
