yikes!

Seriously?

We’re taking a ginormous camper and that big-o long truck on Highway 1? 

  You know, that two-lane highway skinnier than Twiggy Twiggy remember her? with switchbacks tighter than a…drum. Yes, you can look straight down those cliffs into the jagged rocks and ocean below….

Am I ready to meet my Maker?

Yes, but I’d like to survive this so I can do some more stuff like Ped-Egg my heels and learn to dance the can-can ~  We even consulted with our campground neighbors, Hal and Vickie from Cloverdale in Sonoma County, a delightful couple who gave us a recommendation for a campground in Bodega Bay, IN CASE WE MADE IT!

The hunk-o-love I’m married to, otherwise known as  “the greatest driver EVER” had no problemos!

We got some good pics and great video.

for when we’re old and can’t remember

Migratory whales are spotted in this area January – April.

Today was amazing! We saw everything from deer in the woods to powerful ocean waves.

Thanks, God~

sOmEoNe PiNcH mE!

Is this for real? Seriously, did we wake up in a fifth wheel bedroom?

sOmEbOdY pInCh Me

It took me a few minutes to realize I wasn’t dreaming. It took my breath away just thinking about it. So, I got up, took Bella outside to do some “business” then sat down on the sofa.  Then it dawned on me that it’s 1.1.11, the dawn of the first day…of the new year and of our life as fulltimers! And in the last few days we had trekked from Paducah, KY to Brookings, OR via Las Cruces, NM! …pretty amazing for two old folks.

Ya, we did have to grab a “cat nap” or two…

No, no, not cat NIP…although if it could have energized us we might have tried it~ 

Finally, let the real adventure to begin…

Our rig

I won’t mention that they forgot to bring the KEYS when they delivered it to us…and that we had to get a locksmith! ~Cha-ching~

We landed at Shoreline RV Park in Eureka, CA on New Year’s Eve. What a great place to launch our adventure! Today we unloaded the stuff we’ve been carrying around with us. The rest of our “priceless possessions” are in storage.

Hey, wait a minute…didn’t we have an auction? Where did all this stuff come from? We may have to downsize AGAIN! 

This is a job for Superman or Superwoman!

Nice job superpeople~

SO…HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!

To all you crazy knuckle-heads out there making Resolutions…here are mine…

“Pay it forward”

Listen to more Elvis music

Act on God’s soft prompting

Learn to play the banjo

Laugh out loud

Listen

Write

God’s richest blessings for all of you in 2011!

IMG_7527
I’m about to bust a gut with anticipation!
In a few days we’ll pick up our new home and head to Kentucky for Christmas! 
I know many of you can relate to the first time you put your stuff in the cabinets, hooked up the hoses and filled the frig to capacity. Jim and Dee (Tumbleweed) remember like it was yesterday although they just celebrated their one year anniversary since their adventure began.
So, let’s get this show on the road!
~~~~~~~
Since I have lots of TIME on my hands, I’ve also been making gifts for the hotel office staff again. Here’s an idea shared by Zuzu for candy containers which could be used in many different ways. The staff will be so surprised!
CandyContainersSecure decorative paper to paper towel tubes, tie ends with ribbon after filling with wrapped candies.
