Two Month Recap

 I can't believe it has been 2 months that we have been living in an RV. Where has the time gone? Hubby and I started out on January 14th in Corpus Christi for a week, then we spent two weeks in Sargent, after that the month of February in Galveston, and now we are in Magnolia for the month of March. I am glad we are done with beach time. It was WINDY and we also froze, it was crazy, I tell you. 







So, what is it like living in an RV for two months? It is amazing and also so different. Most of my days are spent doing some exercise, having my time with the Lord, walking the dog and if I am honest, playing Spider (a game that is sort of like Solitaire). I also read, so let's just say it has been laid back. I do run errands, grocery shop, do laundry, that sort of thing. This past Thursday while I was doing laundry, I also cleaned the RV, that was nice to have some alone time to do that (hubby was running errands that day). There have been a few times when I so wanted to go back to the house. To have a building to be in, especially during the freeze. That was scary, being in an RV, no power, no water, snow and ice all around. Hubby reminded me that God is in control and hubby (as well as God) made sure we were safe and had propane so that the heater would run and we didn't starve. We lost some food in the fridge/freezer, but we were safe. It was also good to have friends during that time, nice to be able to talk with other believers and comfort one another. Also, while in Magnolia, I have been able to catch up with friends and that has been amazing. So, wish would have taken pictures, I need to remember to do that more often.

So, if I had the chance, would I change anything......nope, I am enjoying this lifestyle and being able to go on adventures. I truly am excited to really get started April 2nd, to see this amazing country that God has created.

I can't imagine doing anything else at this point in my life. I have had to make some sacrifices, I don't see Tim and Tressa every week, that has been hard. I am looking forward to seeing Tara, Jeff and my grandsons more often - that is exciting. Doing life in an RV with my hubby has been really great. Living in about 400 sq ft hasn't been awful. Hubby works Monday through Friday until around 3:00 and then we will do something together or nothing, like sit outside with a fire going. 
 
So, what is my point on this recap blog? Just to let you know that God is good, He is in control, He never leaves us nor forsakes us, and He is our ROCK! My word for the year is steadfast and He has taken me back to that word at least weekly. Even during crazy times like covid and the freeze, He is in control. Thank You, God, for never changing, for allowing me to have my crazy moments and that you have giving me people in my life that help me remember that You are still on the throne. 
 
May this blog find you safe, healthy, and remembering no matter what is going on around us, it is all a part of God's plan. 
 
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
 
God, the RV & me...

Buffalograss Who Knew?

What a week it has been, hot is the word for it. Actually, the tee-ball game last Thursday was moved from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and I was so glad about that. It cooled down to 96 degrees and that made it so much better. The weather also gives us beautiful skies.  These dark and mysterious clouds did not produce rain for us. I just love the way they look. Another picture of the moon. Monday was laundry day and that felt good to knock it out in one day. Funny, my washer/dryer takes 2 and a half hours for one little load, going into the house, I can knock laundry in a lot less time than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my washer/dryer. It was over three years ago we got this, so love being able to  wash in the RV verses a laundry mat. "Keeping it real" Tuesday was a gut-wrenching day, I woke up to find out one of my best friend's daughter has passed away. She found out she had cancer in 2020 and battled through that and even got to ring the bell, not only to find out later th

A Labor of Love

Working on the ranch is truly a blessing. I enjoy mowing and now that we have a new weed sprayer, I enjoy riding around on the Polaris spraying the paths to the feeders and deer stands. This was just water, needed to do that first to make sure all the sprayers worked. Tuesday, we went to Kirsten's house so hubby could see her deck and new chicken coop. She lives at a higher elevation than we do. I was able to take this picture of the sunsetting. So beautiful. Isn't God so creative! We have Mesquite trees around here, fun fact: they are not native to this area. They are a nuisance, and they have thorns. What they have that is good is pods and the deer like to eat them. I am trying to get the grass to grow more, I have a few mesquites that will be take out. I don't like the "messy" look, so trying to get this area looking better, of course with hubby's help. Can you see the pods? So, we have blink cameras and a game camera out and about the house, RV and by the

The Past Two Weeks

I'm back, so sorry about missing a post last week, this week I made sure to get one ready for you. This is officially my 181-blog post and I appreciate you joining in for the journey. We have been busy here in Iraan. We go into town almost every day just to dump trash, we also have driven to Fort Stockton, Ozona and Big Lake. Let me first put up some pictures from January 14th through the 20th. It was full of family, and it was frozen. Here is the family for our January Christmas. In the back are Stef, Robert, Connie and hubby.  In the front are my dad and Baine. Can you see Baine? Little icicles hanging off the cover. There is an icicle on the truck tire. Frozen winter wonderland. It was chilly out there, that is for sure, but we enjoyed being together and celebrating with each other. What a difference a week makes. It has thawed out and we are reaching nearly 70 degrees. As I am writing this it is currently 64 and should hit 67. Some days it seems as though I have to wear two dif
