RV Blog--Life in a Box. This just ain't 'camping' any more....

Every one of us has so much to be thankful for! The things I'm thankful for will, no doubt, be different from yours--but we are all more blessed than we realize!

I'm thankful that I live in the US of A! I'm thankful for 2 beautiful, bright children, for the wonderful people they married, for our 2 fantastic grandkids! I'm grateful that my hubby was in the right place at the right time so that he didn't have the fatal heart attack! I'm thankful for my friends--there aren't a lot of them, but every one would hide me, if need be! :)

Once in a while, it occurs to me to wonder why on earth we live in this rolling box, instead of a real house, like regular people! Yeah, so, it's probably because we've never been 'regular people'! LOL! It sucks to have to leave our kids and grandkids--bigtime. But, we don't take them for granted BECAUSE we have to leave. And hey! When we travel, we get to make cool choices--like where we'll spend the nite. And then we get to sleep in our own bed, shower in our own shower and get a change of scenery when we walk the dogs! A few days ago, we were toasting our 'buns' in front of our little fireplace--last nite we ran the exhaust fan all nite and slept with the windows open! Variety!

So, this afternoon we should be settling onto the same site we spent last winter on! And tomorrow, instead of stuffing ourselves on an embarrassingly over-abundance of food, we'll be helping our friends relocate their home into our neighborhood! Is that cool, or what? We even get to pick who's going to live across the street from us!

And now, it's time to pack up and make ready to leave the great state of Georgia and head on South.... Enjoy your holiday!

The Big Bird seems to perform properly. Chugs right down the road, dragging that monster 5th wheel. We went across the elevator scales before we left, and THAT was scary! Somewhere, we packed on an extra 4000#!!! Too much crap, I guess! LOL! Of course, it must be HUBBIE'S stuff. Not the 4 sq. cu. feet of photos, negatives and albums.... Couldn't be the 2 huge Rubbermaid boxes full of quilting fabric.... Or the 3 1/2 cu. ft. of frozen food in the little freezer! We'll save a lot of cash on groceries this winter, but I fear we're paying for it at the pump! Takes $100 to fill the tank! We're working on calculating the fuel mileage right now....

So, we only got as far as Louisville, KY yesterday. Didn't 'get outa Dodge' until 2:30 in the afternoon! Got in here way after dark, but we knew where we were going to park, and how to get here, so it wasn't to difficult--and the traffic was a lot better than it woulda been earlier. After a 'lightning' visit with our good friends, we'll head out tomorrow morning. Got a reservation at a KOA in southern TN tomorrow nite, and friends coming out from Knoxville, with a pizza! :)

Tune later for pics and more, "On the Road Coverage".....
