FRIENDS

Well, life has many bumps in the road.  As many know, I am on Facebook.  I have "friends" from elementary school, high school, college, career, former students, relatives, campground friends, common interest friends.......I treasure especially the friends I "grew up" with.  

We recently had an experience we never expected...and we made a choice to leave a location where we had spent a lot of time.  We left quietly with only a couple people knowing we were leaving for the "season".   Evolving from that were nasty emails...and we're not sure what else.  We thought we had many friends at that location....but when untrue thoughts by others start circulating..there is no one standing in your corner....or who even wants to talk to you and if they do, fear someone finding out.  We have had mail returned to us.  "Friends" ignore any connection to chat. Are we adults?  or living in fear that if they have any connection to either of us, they, too, are doomed to the same fate portioned onto us.....and so it goes.  Life moves on........but it really makes me wonder.....is a friend "really" a friend??  Just what is a friend???

Well, the motorhome is ready to roll, Christmas gifts all ordered and "made" and ready for the "season".  We are doing all the necessary things to move on......and looking forward to a great winter.

I've made some incredible breakthroughs with our family's Ancestry and have lots of work yet to do.  Also the "book"' is ready to flow from mind to fingers.   Have lots of handcraft things packed to work on, books to read......and of course, walking and swimming to look forward to....and reconnecting with "friends".    Enjoy the fun of Halloween....I'm the witch with broom in hand......rofl.

DO PROBLEMS COME IN 3'S???

We don't need any more troubles......hope 3 is the limit.  First, we no longer can stay at a campground we have been "residing" for the past 35+ years.  Second, the IRS says we owe them a lot of money and we don't agree.  Third, we have serious brake problems with the MH.  WHN has spent a lot of time on the phone trying to find some local RV facility to take a look at the problem and fix it.

He just drove to an RV place in PA as they don't return our calls.  We called the only RV dealer in Dover, DE.  They can fit us in in December.......  We called the place we get the MH fixed in Florida and they said "Don't even consider driving it anywhere".....

CAN'T STOP ME NOW.....................

Well, one might say a lot of water has "swept" over the dam, since my last post.  The past is in the past and both of us are "movin on".....

I have spent the day in "password heaven".  I can't figure out the correct password for a given site.....with my 4 pages of passwords for various sites and each one different but relevant.  When I find the PW for my previous blog, probably will go back to it.  At this point only God knows what it is.  

In addition, my old laptop "croaked" its last "croak" so got a new laptop and as technology would have it, the printer I had for the laptop....couldn't find a driver for it.  I tried and tried....so read some Motorhome magazines as to what was best for "traveling" and bought was was recommended by many.  It prints, scans, copies and is wireless which is great for the iPad (I think....since it is Apple oriented and my laptop is a PC).  Turns out it has a much larger "footprint' than I had hoped so will figure it all out later this week.  This is what I will use on our trip south.

Spent the rest of the day making important appointments before our departure....like my botox injections.  Since the neuro-opthamologist only comes to Newark one day a month.....got it made and arrangements made to have my records sent to the office of the appointment.  My last injections were in early June and are just wearing off.  That is probably the longest I have gone.  I'm also contacting magazines to change our address for 4 months, which is also a challenge.  A lot of t's to cross and i's to dot.  

We are looking forward to our trip to Pennsylvania as the colors should be in full color.  There are mountains on all sides of where we have Albie located at present.  The doggies love the motorhome. Actually they are happy any where we are.  

We have pretty much put a PERIOD on one of the most stressful times of our life.  Time marches on and so will we..............."movin' on down the road."
