The one thing we have noticed is that we are going to need a larger place. When she sits down on the floor there isn't much room to move around her. But we love her dearly already. She's taken to Laurie just as she should and is learning to help her walk steady. It will take a little work, but she is well trained and we are just thrilled to have her.
We've been taking Jade to the dog park and it's been a delight to watch her run with Pickles. Speaking of Pickles, she is getting used to the fact that she is no longer an only child. We praise them equally and love on them the same to make sure all is well in our home.
Getting ready for the yard sale
We have been working endlessly on this yard sale we are going to have next Saturday. It's lots of work, but hope we do good, as we have to get the RV ready for the road. It's going to be a tight fit now with Jade, but I'm sure be can figure out something.
I've been taking things off the wall to sell. Everything must go. We are going to sell the trailer as well. It was nice living here for the year, almost two really, but it's time to move on. I'm getting tired of being shoulder to shoulder with others. I'm not much of a person to be around the same people day after day and routine.
I crave the adventures we had on the road. This same old stuff day in and day out is too much for me. I've been watching way too much TV!
We have been creating a lot of art. Laurie paints daily. I have to be in the mood to do all the beading I've been doing, but I'm starting to enjoy it again. I've set up my bead box. It's quite large. I bought one for Laurie for her paint. We are trying to scale down all our paints and art supplies so we will be able to move around the RV at this time.
We still have a storage in Lake Havasu, but it's smaller and doesn't cost much. We keep things in there we don't want to drag along on a daily basis. Works for us at this time. I'll love it when we aren't having 1/2 as much as we do. I'm getting rid of more things as we speak. I find I need less and less as I get older, and I'm loving that.
Laurie and I are going to put much of our art in the shops around her for sales this winter. As we travel we'll make more art and put them in stores along the way. We are hoping between that and Ebay we should have a good life on the road.
If we volunteer at certain places we can get our rent free or reduced and them used that money we'd normally pay for rent to save for repairs, or what ever is needed.
I know we are going to need another car here soon too. So, we are aware of our needs, and we are planning ahead we hope for those times. Since we both get SS, it makes it so much easier. I wasn't able to entertain much on the road, but I think I will do more perhaps this next road trip. We'll see what happens.
I'd prefer to just travel around and enjoy the rest of my life rather than have to worry about working or such. Just to be able to BE. That is when I'm happiest.
Love to take photographs too, so I'm going to see about selling some of my photo's at well. Just a distant thought. I have so much on my plate right now it's hard to think of other things, but there is so much I want to do and learn.
After seeing that Paul Mc Cartney turning 71 and Ringo 70 as well as Mick Jagger 70, when to tell you the truth I NEVER dreamt they would live that long. So, that gives me hope, because I KNOW I didn't do as many drugs as they did.....LOL.
