Just an update on what is going on in our every day life as I mention in last post we have purchased a home base in S. C. thought we would get things sorted out and go to a workamp position for the summer, but a few things have cropped up to keep us put for the summer.

We did get all the painting in house done and looks good, I can tell you I am not a painter and don't like doing it, saved a lot of money by doing it ourselfs, so that was a good thing and what I thought about while doing it! Jerry has moved on to the outside and has put the mulch in around the house with a few plants and shrubs, of course he wants lots more, keep telling him can't do it all at once and Rome wasn't built in a day also he he could get it all done I would be afriad that he would want to up and move me out again and I am just not up to all that, unless it would be back to full timing in the RV, he wants to stay put and is willing to take me to the few other places that I want to go, am trying to work on getting some thing for the winter months and if not it will be next summer as we already have a position starting in mid May, I will look forward to that!

Well yesterday I met an old from from school,we had lost touch, but have found each other again, she lives in Charlotte, NC and we are only two hours from each other, we met for lunch and talked for four hours catching up, what good memiores we have and so much fun to learn about what is going on is each others lives, will look forward to our next visit as she said we need to do an over night one, just not enough time in one short visit to remember everything we want to say. Ann brought some photos from when we were younger and I don't think either of us look so different,just a little more muture, I know some would say better get your eyes checked and that is ok we all see each other different but that is the way I see both of us.

Cna hardly beleive that we are headed into May, I just don't know where all the time goes to, I get up and do a few things and this is when I have nothing planed and after breakfast I turn around and its time to fix dinner. I am getting tired of cooking and never thought I would be in that position, don't like to eat out all the time as then it would not be a treat, I think its coming up with whats for dinner tonight, as I could get by on salads and such but Jerry likes his meat and I can't get by with just the salad thing except now and then, it is good he likes his soup, all kinds so when don't feel like being in the kitchen I can heat up some that I keep in the freezer!

Don't have too much to write about since we are staying put right now, but will keep all posted one what is going on now and then.

Hope all my friends and family have a great summer! Till next time!

Hello from S. C.

Hi to all my family and Friends, boy has it been a long time since I have blog and have a lot of catching up to do, since I was last on we left the position in N. C. as was so hot there and I worked in the office/store that did not have air, could not take it any longer but I sure gave it my best shot, we were to work for three months and we stayed for two and half, just not used to taking care of customers with sweat running down my face!! Anyway we stayed closer to my younger sister in a near by RV park so that was nice, then onto KY. for my position with Amazon, we were there for twelve weeks, was a first for me to work on a receiving line, was not really hard to do but very tired when we finished in the evening, worked four ten hour days and off for three, the work days went very fast as we were busy from start to finish, I guess we had worked about a month and everyone was asking would you do this again, and at that point I thought no don't think so, but by the time we finished up and we all had gottten the hang of it I would do it again as the twelve weeks went by very fast. We did not get in a lot of sight seeing as did not want to go to far on days off. Jerry was a big help as he did not work so he took care of being the cook and having dinner just about ready when I got home that sure was a treat for me as by time I got home and took a bath sure did not feel like I wanted to cook, it was more like eat sleep and work, havee to say we make quite a few new friends and most of them are going to be returning for the next season, I will not reture to KY. but if something comes up in their new plant in S. C. I am on the list for there.

Well most of my family knows by now that we purchased a home base in S.C. about ten miles from my younger sister, Jerry wanted a place to plant his feet again a little sooner then I had thought we would, knew it was in our furture and they had so many bank owned homes on the market we decided to look while in the area and if found what we needed would buy it and long story short found a small place with a fenced in back yard that RV fits nicely in so here we are for the winter and will travel this summer to some unknown place, have been putting our resume in on the east coast but in a cooler area, so hoping that something that we will like will come thru.

We had snow and lots of ice while in KY, which all had informed us that never happens at that time of the year, but we sure did get it, was glad to get on the road and in S.C. where there again they don't get much snow, well we had a white Christmas and then a couple of weeks after had six inch's, they really played it up by lettingus know what was coming so we had lots of box's that we had stored at my sister home so got a good many and brought them over so while all snowed in got them unpaced and put away, even got some pictures hung. Needness to say Jerry is looking forward to better weather, he has been a tropper tho with having to buy a snow shovel and do the thing outside, just enought so he could walk up the walk and part of the drive as we had no plans on going anywhere, I was content just looking out at the pretty snow, did go out and take a few photos, will post a couple for all to see!

I had a hard time at first getting back to staying up later like I like to do, as when working I was in bed befor nine, most of the time it was by eight, now I am back to being a night owl, having a hard time going to bed and sleeping, like now I am wide awake, maybe I need to have a glass of wine so it will put me to sleep!!


Do hope all my friends and family are doing very well and wish you all a Happy Healthy and Blessed New Year!
