Our Rig is FOR SALE

This is a re-post from November when we first put the rig up for sale. . .

Since we never got too serious about actually getting it done, 

we now find ourselves only ten weeks away from our summer trip. . .

with three vehicles. . .yikes! and three insurance payments. . .yikes. . .

SO

today, April Fools Day I have officially determined to get very, very serious

about getting Beauty and the Beast sold and in the hands of a new owner!

Wish me luck. . .and if you know anyone who might be interested

please direct them our way. . .thanks!

You read it right. . .today we are officially putting our truck and fifth wheel up FOR SALE!

If you know anyone who is looking for a great deal. . .all the pics and information

can be found here:  BEAUTY AND THE BEAST ARE FOR SALE

WHY?  you ask. . .

well. . .here’s the reason. . .and of course you know they

never want to give you diddly on a trade in. . .

so we’re gonna try our hand at selling our rig ourselves. . .uggghhhh!

Wish us luck. . .oh, and a few prayers would not go amiss. . .

Til next time,

Full Time RV Living - Moving Day Has Turned Into Moving Week PLUS!

ugghhh. . .although the kitchen, bedroom, and personal items

are pretty well organized. . .and can be found. . .

the rest of the motor home is a disaster. . .

typical moving scenario. . .started out so well. . .

organized. . .take things from one home, put it away in the other. . .until. . .

You know that UNTIL moment. . .

it’s happened with every move we’ve ever made. . .

things are going along smoothly. . .

and then, BAM. . .time’s up. . .

gotta get’r finished!  Yep. . .happened again!

Anyway. . .everything is “transferred” over. . .

Thursday morning, we pulled the fifth wheel out,

and the motorhome in. . .and officially started

“living” in it. . .if that’s what you want to call

survival mode. . .but. . .the end is in sight!

I hafta admit. . .I’ve teared up a couple of times

over letting the Alfa go. . .we’ve lived in it since 2003. . .

longer than we lived in some of our houses. . .ha ha. . .

and have loved most every minute of it!

Yesterday, and today, we are cleaning

and making minor repairs to the Alfa. . .

tomorrow we have an appointment to take it to  the

PPL Consignment Lot in Houston, and drop it off.

They move a  lot of rigs. . .so I’m hoping it will sell quickly!

If you know of anyone looking for a great rig

at a fabulous price. . .have them check it out online!

I’ll post pics and updates on the new rig as soon as

we get a few more things stored away. . .stay tuned!

Full Time RV Living–Huge, Huge Changes Going On

Last week was our grandson’s 18th birthday,

so we were supposed to drive to Houston and take him to dinner. . .

but due to his new retail job (whoo who). . .

and the Christmas season starting. . .

we just could not make the schedules mesh. . .

soooo. . .instead, we went to check out the motorhomes

at our favorite consignment lot. . .

and wouldn’t ‘cha know it. . .

this Monaco Dynasty had our name on it. . .

so we bought it!

It sure would’a been cheaper to do the lunch date. . .LOL!

Picked it up Monday. . .

tough wind. . .but Dave handled it beautifully!

this morning. . .Tuesday. . .all the Park Host ladies got together

and decorated for our Staff Christmas party. . .

after that. . .moving day. . .

this is the fifth wheel with all the upper cabinets emptied. . .

We’re trying to move everything systematically

and put everything away as we go. . .

it’s working out pretty well. . .

so far we’ve found a place for everything. . .

Tomorrow . . .the kitchen. . .we’ll see how that goes!

Til next time,

WHY?  you ask. . .

To answer the age old RV question. . .why a motor home instead of the fifth wheel

From the beginning, we always said we wanted to be in a motor home by the time we were sixty. . .not sure why we decided on that time frame. . .I guess we thought we would be old by then. . .ya know good and well when your're 47 that sixty looks really, really old. . .now that we are almost there it's looking better and better. . .ha. . .but I digress!

Anyway. . .since we can't afford the rig we want. . .this is going to be a transition rig for the next few years. . .which should tell the tale for us. . .which is better. . .fifth wheel?. . .or motor home? Ha Ha. . .time will tell!

Wish us luck. . .oh, and a few prayers would not go amiss. . .

Til next time,
