Another Weekend Closer .....

A very nice weekend. Nothing special, just a relaxing weekend. Thanks dear !! We didn't do anything special really, just kinda hung out and relaxed. Friday night and Saturday was rainy, which made Saturday morning a nice morning to just stay in bed, snuggle and sleep. We haven't done that in a long time. We had our company Christmas party at noon. It wasn't to bad and it was good to see every one's other halves and their kids. I just hate having to go to those things. Oh well, it didn't kill us and we got a free meal. After the party we really didn't do much at all the rest of the day. I started the long task of scanning old photos on to the computer. I hope to be able to put all of them on a hard drive before we depart on our adventure. Between this and all the old VHS and 8mm films I want to put on a hard drive, I have my work cut out for me. Terri worked on her Christmas presents (pillows), she really does great stuff. We did take time out to watch the Gators lose for the first time this year. Now we really are not big football fans, but this was a big game and it was just a great afternoon to lay around and watch the game. I kinda felt bad for them, but Alabama came ready to play and were the better team. Congratulations to Alabama.
Sunday kinda started the same way. We were lazy and I didn't get out of bed till 10am again. Wow, 2 days that I layed around and was lazy. But when I did get up I really needed to get out of the house and blow the stink off. So Terri had some errands she needed to run and some more crafts to get. So, shopping we went. We ended up driving from one end of the county to the other. We even went to the SPCA. Yes, Terri wanted to see of they had any lap dogs. She really has been wanting one after she saw my sister's Sweetie. The SPCA didn't really have much of a selection, but one of the workers said they are going to Georgia to pick up 30 to 35 small dogs this week and that they will be ready for adoption in about 2 weeks. Oh no, looks like we may have a new dog for Christmas. I will let you know. While we were at the craft store, Terri and I decided that she could make some Dog toys for Cinnamon. She is our current dog of 12 years. She is an American Cur. Anyway, she loves the fleece chew toys and they are so expensive to buy. So, we decided that Terri could make them. We got some remnants to make some. We also had gone to Walmart and we found men's Fleece jackets on clearance for $5. Wow what a bargain. We got 2 of the 3x sizes to get the most material we could. We couldn't have even bought the material for $5 dollars. What a deal. Any way when we got home Terri proceeded to start making dog toys. We may try selling some, so let me know if you want any. I even ordered the squeakers to go inside of them. We did one and gave it to Cinnamon and she loved it. Other than that I scanned probably 150 pictures and then called it a night.
We are going camping this coming weekend to Lake Mayaka, looking forward to getting the trailer out again. We are going for 3 nights. Hopefully we will have good weather. I will write about it later. Thanks for following and let me know you were here !!

Getting Ready

Had a great week at RV Dreams Rally. We learned alot and now know that we still have a lot of things to do before we hit the road for full time. We met alot of friendly helpful people and that makes us want to get started even quicker. Thanks again to Howard and Linda for a Great Week

Happy New Year !!!

Wow, the start of another year and another decade. My Mom always said that the older I get the faster the time will go by. I can't believe that it is 2010 already. Seems like Yesterday that I was a kid and amazed at the start of the Bicentennial New Year in 1976. I remember thinking that the year 2000 was so far away. Then the year 2000 came along with all the worries of the new millennium (so much worry and fuss for nothing). Now here we are 10 years later. Right now it is hard for Terri and I not to wish the time would go faster as we have the worst case of Hitch Itch. Yet we know that you can not wish your life away and that you really need to enjoy each day, one day at a time. Our chance will be here before we know it. So with that said, my wife and I would like to wish all of you a very Happy New Year. May 2010 be great to you and yours. This is the year of preparations for us. Our time will be here before we know it.

Our First BIG Step

Wow, it has been quite a while since we have posted anything. Time sure does seem to fly by when you are busy with the hectic thing we call life. I know that I SO look forward to getting on the road and enjoying the slower pace to come. We have taken our first big step. Meet our brand new 2010 Ford F-350 Dually. She is pearl blue with a tan stripe on the bottom. We really got a great deal and have more options on it then we could have ever asked for. It includes the SYNC entertainment center which includes a navigation system. It has power everything, including memory postions for the seats/mirors and pedals. It is all leather interior with heated seats, dual climate zones and on and on. The power is provided by a 6.4L diesel motor. She is capable of pulling an 18,000 lbs fifth wheel which is more then we will need for the fifth wheel that we want. We have never owned a brand new vehicle in our life and we should be able to have this one for years to come. The other great thing is Ter
