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 Terri LOVES !!! driving it. She is not affraid of it at all. It is still hard to believe that she is ours. (Well ours and the banks for now) . Well now all we have to do is pay for it and start working on the 5ver and sell the house. Those are our next steps. Till next time.

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.

Yard Sale Success

We had our first yard sale towards our retirement goal. We didn't do to bad either. Terri took Friday off from work so that we could have the sale on Friday and Saturday. It was a good thing that we did Friday because Saturday was about as slow as Terri has ever seen it, and she has done several over the years. She did very well on Friday though and said she never really didn't have any customers. Over all we made a little over $350.00, not to bad for stuff that we didn't want or need. We will probably use the money to help pay for Christmas so that we do not add anything to our debt. We also sold some of Mom's stuff that Dad had cleared out since Mom's death. He made $83 and every little bit helps him. We donated all the clothes that didn't sell to a local church coat closet and anything that was junk we threw away. The rest of it we packed back up for our next yard sale. My only hope is that it isn't a yard sale but a house sale. A come in and ...
