We were outside getting things hooked up.....

| I guess this is the way it goes now. Art stands around and watches future SIL, Dan work on the vehicles. He was adding air to the inner tires. Now Art claims it was easier for him because he was smaller. Huh? I think I'll try that next time I have a job to do that I have to get down on my knees for LOL |
When the air compressor would come on Jeb, the turkey would fluff all up and gobble. Any loud sound makes him do that. Funny guy.......
 | |||||
| "Hey, it is my bedtime, cut out the noise will ya!" He goes to bed early just like chickens. |
As I was taking pictures of Mr. Jeb here the sunset was just gorgeous. Had to take one last photo of the sun here on the farm. Next time they will be down on the lake.

| I loved the old fence, the bare trees all shapes and sizes, and the orange sky. |
I don't know if I will be able to post a blog tomorrow. It will take us a few hours to get to Hardin Ridge, then several hours to get set up, get our gear to work, and then we will collapse. I will post one as soon as I can though.
For all the cat lovers out there, I took a picture of Hannah's cat, Skyler while sitting on her lap. He was taking his paw and hitting her Great Dane, Savannah on the head as she walked by them. Brave cat when he is on his mama's lap.....not on her lap, stupid.
Jeb says this is his best side...:)
I am excited for you....and though I love my life in beautiful Arizona I have to admit a little jealous. Relax...have fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you! After we get there tomorrow we will hopefully be able to sit and relax a while. This month of March has been so much work, wow, I didn't think it was going to be this much. Guess we had too much stuff. I'm sure your life is wonderful. Arizona sounds so exciting in itself.
DeleteI'm also jealous - all of those emotions I felt back when we started. Such a wonderful time. I still get all excited when we get ready to move someplace, but it's not quite the same as that first time.
ReplyDeleteI hope one day I can look back and feel jealous of someone. But right now I don't ever want to go through this again. The emotions have been exciting but oh so rough. I'll be glad to be able to settle down and relax some.
DeleteOne day I will be writing some of the same things. In a way you are very lucky, because although you say you will have to sell the house if your daughter doesn't buy it, you still have a year long option of coming back to it if you decide full timing isn't what you want.
ReplyDeleteHope your travels will be easy and tomorrow nights sleep will be safe and warm.
I know you will Merikay and it will be sooner than you think I hope for you. I can't imagine ever wanting to come back. Since we did camphosting last summer of over 3 months we know what we are in for. We won't be coming back to this house even if we don't stay on the road. We can't afford it or keep up the work it requires. Thank you, I appreciate your good wishes.
DeleteWe love living in our home on wheels and I know you will too! It goes where ever we take it and there is so much to see and do in this beautiful country we call our home. You are in for some great adventures!
ReplyDeleteSafe travels tomorrow......
Thanks Gay and Joe, I am confident we will too. It is exciting to read blogs like yours where you are already living this great dream. We are looking forward to seeing all kinds of this country.
DeleteI hope that you will sleep well tonight and that you will be able to relax. Just put things in perspective and everything will be OK. You can always come back to visit since you are on wheels so there, you have nothing to worry about. You will enjoy this new lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteENJOY YOURSELVES.
Happy Easter.
Hugs,
JB
Hi Julia, thank you. I'm not sure I will sleep, maybe for a little bit but then as soon as I am awake I'm sure we will be up. We are taking off as soon as we can, I hate good byes. Tomorrow night we should sleep very well. Yes, it is comforting to know we can come back. I am positive we will. Happy Easter to you and your family as well.
DeleteSo many emotions. I'm glad you are a blogger so you can look back on these days and smile. You will bet to be pros at hooking up and unhooking and setting up and breaking down in no time at all. Looking forward to following your blog. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThanks BJ, I hope we don't have to break up and down too much. We have been campers for 30 yrs so we can do that pretty fast. We want to stay in one place for a few months and then move on. Of course I know hitch itch will happen and we will move on. Thank you and Happy Easter to you too.
DeleteVery exciting for sure. We will be following with great interest. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you both. I am happy to hear you both will be following, I hope I don't disappoint ha ha...
DeleteThe excitement is there and you will love getting on the road.
ReplyDeleteSeveral hours setting up? After seven years we have it down to about 30 minutes. Mind you we move every week or two year round.
Enjoy your new lifestyle is is awesome!
If we are just camping we can be set up in about the same amount of time but not coming here. To many folks stopping by to say hi and welcome. But hey no worries now we have all the time in the world....right???
DeleteThanks, and thanks again for the recipe.
I remember that feeling well! We had six weeks inbetween leaving NY and our first workamp job, and it was a blur of re-organization of the trailer, visiting folks, sleeping!(sheer exhaustion from the final prep to leave)and bundles of nerves over what we did. Its all good though. There are a few things I'd like to change about our departure, but it all worked out in the end.
ReplyDeleteHi Al and Karen, yes a bundle of nerves that was us alright. But sitting here tonight it sure was ALL worth it. I'll bet we sleep good tonight.
DeleteSafe travels to Maine.
Today is the day! Happy Trails to you both!
ReplyDeleteYes, it sure is Judy. Thank you so much, hope we have as much as you and Emma do. Take care.
DeleteCongratulations....you've made it! You reached your goal and made your dreams come true.
ReplyDeleteYou'll feel much better once you're on the road and get rested up!
Thank you Karen. Yes, we did! We do feel so much better tonight. Last night as this time I felt really sick. Didn't sleep good so tonight should be peaceful dreams. Happy Easter.
DeleteBy now you are well on you way or landed at your new spot in the forest! Can't wait to see the new surroundings. BREATH...you made it lady and now the adventure really begins! Looks like perfect sunny weather in the forecast...so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, the weather did turn out to be perfect. NO snow, we know all about that don't we???
DeleteYes, breath, ah, it feels so good to have all that stress behind us. Hope you like the new surroundings.
Take care.
I had tears in my eyes when I read your blog today. My hubby and I are going to full time RV when our son leaves for college in 4 years. Hubby is taking early retirement and we are going to workamper. I love reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, and welcome!!! I'm sorry I made you cry. I hope you feel better with the new blog this evening.
DeleteOh retiring early Good For You! You will not regret it.
No saying good bye to your son, wouldn't want to have to do that again, this morning was so rough :(
Hope you stay in touch. Take care.
Congratulations! You made it. Life will be one big adventure. Living in such a small space gives you so much freedom. Be safe and we'll see you down the road!
ReplyDeleteJoan
Thank you guys!!! You know the fiver doesn't seem that small tonight, just the right size :) And when I have to mop that kitchen in a couple of days it will definitely be the right size. Thanks Joan you guys too. We sure hope so. Happy Easter.
DeleteIt is going to be a great adventure, relax and enjoy:)
ReplyDeleteThank you guys, relaxing ah we are. And enjoying very much so. Even doing the blog tonight was more fun.
DeleteTake care, and Happy Easter.
I remember like yesterday being where you are at today. Love to read & feel your excitement, enthusiasm, & exuberance. All the best to you guys & I've put you on our sidebar:))
ReplyDeleteThat is sweet Al. Excitement, sure had that today. Last night was all nerves though :)
DeleteThank you so much, and great, will love to see our names there.
Take care.
Catching up! Skylar is adorable!!! ... off to read today's post ... you're there! yay
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn, yes, that cat has some personality. He just loves his mom so much. He gives her hugs. He puts his little paws around her neck and just squeezes. Priceless, except for those claws ouch.
DeleteWe're here Yay!!! Take care.
