Full Time RV Maintenance–Here We Go Again!

Every single time after we get the RV all hooked up, and ready to roll. . .
we take a moment, and ask the Lord to send angels of protection
to camp round about us, to protect us, and those on the road with us. . .

So many times, when things have happened, as they always will. . .
it has been at an opportune moment in time. . .
at a place where we could pull over safely.

Once again, today, God in His infinite wisdom and mercy. . .
allowed us to get the rig all the way into the RV Park. . .
in fact, we were backing the rig into the space when the power steering went completely out!

It ends up being a very minor fix. . .thanks again Lord. . .but we could see where a hose was
spraying fluid out. . .and driving it to the repair shop didn’t seem like such a great idea. . .
and. . .that’s why we pay for roadside service. . .so here they are. . .hooking us up.

Since our truck is now 11 years old, we expect these types of minor inconveniences. . .
this time it’s an elbow in the power steering line, that rubbed against something,
and caused a hole. . .go figure.

We are teaching a ministry workshop in Austin this weekend. . .about two hours away.
Not sure why we needed to be delayed in our departure. . .
but age, wisdom, and a lot of hard knocks,
has taught me that God knows the reasons. . .so we’ll just go with the flow. . .
say a prayer that we will be a blessing this weekend!

Miss Morgan is by far the most precocious of all our grandchildren. . .

there is never a dull moment when she is around. . .

here she is gathering seashells. . .still her favorite activity at the beach.

When we can get her to sit still and focus. . .she is quite the little artist. . .very, very creative!

 

I love you Mo Mo. . .Happy Fourteenth Birthday!

Full Time RV Living–Not a Lot of Fun Day. . .

So today was the day that we got to make an early morning trip
to Quest Diagnostics for bloodwork. . . yippee!  First, ya gotta fast. . .
which is not so bad, except that it means skipping the
morning coffee. . .since I like mine with creamer. . .and then. . .
so ya don’t hafta fast too long. . .you need to do an early morning appointment. . .
9 am is early people. . .early I tell you!  So now it’s done, and we just need to do
the annual checkups in a couple of weeks to get the results. . .yippee again!

Since we’re out and about anyway. . .and since the Anna’s Linens store close
to us didn’t have as many valances as I needed. . .
2006-01-13 Decorating, Levolor Blinds 003
and since I’m tired of looking at naked Levolor shades. . .
we may as well run over there and pick them up. . .
2006-01-13 Decorating, Curtains, Levolor Blinds 001
yes. . .success! 

Hmmmm. . .that lampshade looks so cute draped in that valance,
I may just need to do a lampshade cover too. . .lol. . .we’ll see!

Anyway, getting curtains up will be my project while
Dave is teaching a class next week. . .another yippee!

I’ll share before and after pics once it’s done. . .

At least we have a nice treat to look forward to this afternoon. . .
meeting fellow RV’ers, Vickie and Bill of Sentimental Journeyz
at the Catfish place in Conroe, for an early dinner. . .
they just arrived back in the home country from New Mexico,
and we just arrived back from Colorado. . .
so we should have lots to talk about. . .
Later,
Janice
