Try turning laundry into fun and you won't get that headache.

We’re kind of new at it, too. Bought a used motorhome a couple years ago and are having a blast.

Many years ago we discovered the joy of RVing thanks to neighbors. It’s different today, better in most ways, and what a great way to see the country.

Getting a head-start on Wear RED on Friday with a musical selection by Elvis.

There's some text to go along with it but for some reason my monitor went all blurry again ...

A Tribute to Our Flag

[Mama_Bear]

what a great way to see the country.

Yes, indeed. It's a great family activity too. Our son got a big 5th wheel and encouraged us to get one so we could meet up places for little mini family vacations. The NASCAR race in Sonoma, dry camping in a huge field with thousands of NASCAR fans, was a blast. Like a modern day Woodstock, only without the drugs and love beads. Lots of alcohol, though, and lots of NASCAR spirit! Those race fans know how to party. LOL.

Our 5th wheel is small, has only one slide, but it's perfect for us and our two little dogs and we got a great deal on it. My husband really doesn't want to pull anything much larger down the road.

This is my little playhouse on wheels....

My little Chachi isn't fond of being left alone (with Sissy) at the RV and has twice demolished the screen. We have since covered the bottom part with Plexiglas. Doesn't he look proud of his handiwork here?

Thank you for your Sweet Post and Precious Kitty Gif, Dearest Jaycee! I Miss Seeing you All, too.
My Husband and I Recently Bought the Property Next Door, and have Added it to the King's Ranch;
It's a Lovely Place, but Picking Up Fallen Tree Branches and Mowing the Main Area
Has Really Cut into my Freeping Time a Lot. :(

There's a Beautiful Small Lake on the Property
That I Plan to Post a Picture of Soon for a Lord's Day Graphic.
My Heart is So Thankful for the Blessing of this Wonderful Land;
Our Savior's Grace is Indescribable!

Happy Happy Vacation Trip
To Amy, Mr. Just and Marissa.

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

It Looks Like Something my Own Doggie would Do! : )

Sweet Dreams...(((HUGS)))

Hi, Kitty Mittens. It's hard to get mad at him, although, repairing the screen TWICE was not much fun. He really does look very proud of himself, I think. Like he is thinking "well, I bet NOW they've learned their lesson and won't leave me and Sissy home alone in the RV ever again!"

We only leave them for very short periods of time, with the A/C on, with plenty of cool water, their nice comfy beds, chew toys and a bowl full of kibble, and we leave the TV or radio on for them....and they have each other. Now, really, how bad can it be? LOL

Sweet dreams to you too, KM. I am enjoying reconnecting with my friends here. Hope you and yours are doing well. Give Doggie a hug for me!

[MEG33]

Blame my baby raccoons..That’s what got me off schedule! LOL

[SnarlinCubBear]

Where are you? O was at the WH having beer, I heard. He gets around.

[jaycee]

Yes, I know! I thought you would enjoy that as you are always telling us about going to bed and getting up, etc. and watching your “babies” during the night. When I saw the kitty yawning, I thought “Meg will enjoy this”.....~smile~

[jaycee]

I said ‘yesterday’! He was here Wednesday blocking off streets and highways so he could have that “sweet audience” that I told you about! I am in Bristol, TN-VA. The state line runs down our main street! I actually live in Tennessee! We can cross the line and get cheaper taxes, etc. LOL! Our downtown area now is mostly an Antique Mall and a lot of little eateries! Like most cities, we have Malls everywhere so downtown areas had to do something to survive! Ours is pretty successful!

Guess where his town hall meeting was? At a Kroger store!. We have had people here saying they will never shop at Krogers again, etc. for cuddling up to Obama. I don’t shop there anyway so I don’t have to think about it.

It was only for certain people and like I said yesterday, “just goldilocks questions”....so unfair!
