We just want to let everyone know how much we love getting comments on our post. We read each one and click Publish. However, we have found that they all don't make it to the comment section of our blog.
We are not sure what the problem seems to be.
Please don't be offended if you posted a comment on our blog and notice that it doesn't show up. We published them but some seem to disappear after we click on Publish.
Maybe they are just wondering around in blog outer space!
Thanks again for all your comments
This is the journey of two middle aged women embarking on the RV fulltimers life. Preparing and living as nomads to keep from being committed to the local lunatic asylum by their friends and family. This is their journey from beginning to present day.

On a Roll
We are on a roll. We visited our local Lowe's Hardware yesterday and low and behold they were stocking. That means they had a lot of small boxes that were heading for the compactor. I asked if we could have some of the boxes and they told us to help ourselves. We did! We had a buggy full of small boxes in no time. This is very exciting for me. We now have small boxes to pack expensive china in.
Dawn has decided she wants to keep both sets of her mother's china. We want to pack the china in small boxes and then place the small boxes into plastic totes. This is a preventive way to keep down the possibility of damaging the china when it's moved.
As soon as we got home we started packing the china in the small boxes. The small boxes really worked out great. The boxes are not to heavy and we stuffed them full of shredded paper. We now have all the china boxed and put into our make shift storage area. We are currently using a spare walk-in closet as a storage room.
As soon as my son moves his STUFF out we will be using that bedroom for a storage area too. It is the smallest of the three bedroom. We want to make sure that everything we are keeping will fit into an area no larger than 10x12. We think we can stack it to the ceiling!!!!!

Day Dreaming
We are so addicted to RV blogs, We just can't get enough. We are checking every couple of hours for new postings. We get so excited when there is a new post waiting to be read. Just like a kids in a candy store!
We click on the latest title and read what others are doing out there in the fulltiming world. Where they are today, what they are seeing, what life lesson have been learned.
When a post includes pictures it raises the excitement level even more. We will sit in front of the computer and admire the pictures and imagine we are there. Enjoying the mountain air, playing in the water at the beach, sharing a meal with friends, strolling through unique shops, hiking in the woods, admiring historic buildings, staying in different areas and exploring new places.
We are so envious of all those who are already fulltimers.
Thanks, It is your postings that keeps us moving towards our goal of becoming fulltimers. We will someday be posting about our lives as fulltimers too.

Purging
Now we are getting serious! Our house is a danger zone right now, but that is a sign of progress. We have pulled out boxes that are now setting all over the dinning room. We have been very busy sorting and throwing out. We are doing some serious purging!
We are removing pictures from the walls and boxing up the odds and ins we are keeping. My hobby is photography and we have some of my photos framed and hanging on the walls throughout the house. I have decided to ask my family if they want any of the photos. What they don't want I will put in the garage sale.
We have stacks of LP record albums. I'm not sure if we can sell them or not. We laugh as we see things that remind us of our childhood. We found an eight-track tape. Not sure whats on it cause the label was so faded. We have found lots of cassette tapes too.
I discovered a few more boxes of family pictures, jewelery and recipes. Dawn's job is to sort through all this during the day while I am at work. Her mother had a lot of costume jewelery. We have decided we will take some of the questionable jewelery to a local jewelery store to see if it worth anything. We are trying to find out if any of it is real gold. Dawn loves to cook and so did her mother, so we have tons of recipes. Dawn has gone through boxes of pictures with people she didn't recognize. I think we will be taking a load to the dumpster this week!
We are planning another garage sale as soon as the weather cools down. This garage sale will have a lot of new merchandise. That should make our regular customer happy!
