There's Always Something

Well, we did go on our first RV trip and Randy was sick but we kind of had a little fun. We did have to replace a tire on the trailer though because the rubber came off one of them. So Randy said we should just replace all the tires as they were all pretty bad. That makes me mad because if I had known the tires were bad I would have gotten the price down a little more on the trailer.

Randy has been a little sick with his usual IBS syndrome and his blood sugar. Today it was much better though. He has a Dr. appointment on Friday and I hope they do tests to find out why he has to suffer with these problems all the time.

I have had trouble with my stupid lan line phone from Comcast. Sometimes when people call they can't get me and it says I am not taking calls which is not true. I called Comcast and they don't know why it is happening. I am thinking of just using my cell phone and getting rid of my lan line phone altogether. I am also going to get a different internet with MSTAR using Randy's account and just get a router for the two computers.

The cats keep us busy and they are very expensive to feed and care for but they are our family. We were going to go to Bear Lake on May 8-12 but now we probably change and go to Contessa's graduation on the 21 and then on to Yellowstone Park in our trailer. Randy has never been there.

Our Moab Trip

Unfortunately, our Moab trip was not as good as we had hoped. The weather was great but Randy got sick and couldn't even eat the whole time and the tread came off one of the trailer tires and so we had to buy a new used one. Randy had turned the fridge upt too hight so everything got frozen so it's a good thing he didn't want much to eat.We did go to Dead Horse Point and to Arches though and tried to see as much as we could. I sure hope our next trip is better. I hope we have learned some things from our try-out trip to Moab. We will be going to Bear Lake next month

Here are photos of us and of our trailer and Suburban.

These are photos my new Elantra. I like it because it saves gas.

Six Months

I met Randy online six months ago yesterday. A month and one half later he moved here. So far things are good in this very unconventional way of meeting and being together.

Camping Plans

Randy and I are planning on going camping on April 21 to Arches National Monument. Our idea of camping is having hookups, water and cable and air conditioning and even a microwave; and we will have all this at the KOA park in Moab. We won't always camp this way, but we wanted to try out our hookups to see how they work.

On May 9 we are going to camp at Bear Lake. We got a deal there to one free for one paying night. I am so looking forward to this. I haven't camped for a long time.

Our Changing Life

Big Changes

Well, yesterday I traded my van for an Elantra. I am getting almost $6000 back because the van was worth more than the Elantra. The Elantra is brand new. It is metallic blue. The van was too much vehicle for me. But I sure will miss that van with all it's features and comfort. And Randy bought a used Suburban to pull the travel trailer with because we just decided old Brownie wasn't really up to it. So we certainly don't need a Suburban and a van. The Elantra will get much better mileage than the van. The suburban will get bad mileage because it has a big engine but we will only use it for camping and use the Elantra for everything else. I will soon post photos of the new vehicles. The Suburban is a 2002 and was a really good price for Randy to afford. We thought of getting something newer and in diesel because even though diesel costs more, it gets better mileage when pulling a trailer. But the amount we saved by buying the Suburban was $9000 so the difference in mileage will make up for in the savings of the purchase price.

As for Brownie, she is still here. She belongs to Randy and he is probably going to sell to Marty for the amount he has paid for it so far. Brownie has new windshield wiper blades and a brand new battery. So I guess we are really crazy these days with all the things we have been doing.
