LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN

We finally got out of our house on June 30th at around 7 pm.  Had a lot of things still left and had to just put in the motorhome to deal with later.  Drove the miles to Porter at the Crossroads RV Park.  It is across the street from the Peach House and we always stayed here when we were in town.    Got the motorhome all set up and we had to sleep in our recliners because there was too much crap to even sleep on our bed.  How can we accumulate so much stuff in just 2 short years.  Who knows.

The fridge didn't work so we had to take all our food to Leslie's house and store them in her fridge...Since it is the 4th of July weekend we were unable to have someone come fix it before Tuesday.  Sheesh...We had to eat breakfast and dinner out every day.  Believe it or not that sure does get old fast.

We decided to get a storage room so we were able to get our things boxed up and taken to storage.  YES.  We wanted to have just as little as we could get away with.  Every day we found other items we could take.

I said I would show pictures of our motorhome after I got it all fixed up the way we wanted it.  I have a few here I will share with you.  We are so pleased with the way everything has turned out.  It is just the way we want it.

 Daisy is getting her fill of the news for the day.  hehe

 I am so proud of this desk that Ron and Jody built.  They took out the dining room table and made this.  We can set down and look at our computers or eat a meal and I can even do my scrapbook and make my cards and jewelry here.   It is perfect for us.  Love it

 There is the backsplash we put up and the other counter that Ron & Jody made.  It is gorgeous.  It has the drop down I can put up when I need more room.

 close up picture of the backsplash and new counter we did.

 took down the headboard and found this vinyl I love.  Made the curtains and I had more pillows on the bed but I decided to store them since it is such a hassle to put them away when it is bedtime.  Still love it.

 This is the spot where I am going to put all my family's picture on.

 Perfect pillow because I always tell Ronnie "love you more" when he tells me me loves me.

 more curtains I made for the bedroom...

just a picture taken down the hall from the bedroom to the front.

Finally got our fridge fixed Tuesday afternoon, they had to reset it at the mother board.  It was an easy fix, and that made us happy.  Wednesday we finished our running around doing last minute business.  Ron went to Jody's to tell him bye and then we went to Leslie's house to get our food and give them goodbye kisses and hugs.  Will miss our kiddos and grandkiddos so much.  love you guys.

Thursday morning we got up and got started down the road.  Stopped in Muskogee at the QT to get a couple breakfast sandwiches to eat on the road.  We drove about 5 hours to Thackerville, Ok and stayed at the Red River RV Park,  Went to Windsteam Casino and had a great dinner at the buffet there.  Came back home and went to bed early.  It is always a long day the first day we travel.

Got up early Friday morning and went down the road.  This was a long day of driving.  We drove about 7 hours and stopped in Big Springs, Tx at a small rv park called Whip it in...It was fine for the night as it had cable and good WIFI.  There were terrible storms this night.  Lightening, thunder and high winds.     Tonight was the first night I had a chance to fix dinner.  It was nice for a change, as we had been eating out all the time.   Forgot to take a picture of our site.  bummer

Got up Saturday morning and had a good breakfast at home.  Ron fixed bacon, scrambled eggs and hash browns.  Yummn.  Took a shower and then started down the road to our next destination-Van Horn, Tx...I know, I know you say "who the heck stays at Van Horn, Tx'...It is so hot here and there is NOTHING here.  Restaurants and grocery stores not a selection.    We were able to get a spot at Southern Star RV Park, it is nice....has cable and good wifi so we can handle it for the night.   Tonight we at at Chuey's the only place to eat, not much of a choice.  hehe

 This is our spot at Southern Star RV Park in Van Horn, Tx

Well, this is all I will write today.  Tomorrow, we travel down the road to Deming New Mexico.

So you don't forget what we look like, thought I would post a picture of us driving down the road.  Really there was no one around us when I took this picture.  lol.
