God, the RV & me

What can I say, last week was wild, awesome, crazy, fun, a lot of food, eating out, presents and that all added up to one tired Grandma. So, this blog will be a little different. Hope you don't mind.  We were blessed to be able to take up an entire row at church for Christmas Eve. It was fun to watch Tim on stage and poor guy, he had to stay on stage the entire time. A couple of people fell asleep, but we won't hold that against them. Love my family! It was a candle lit Christmas service. Don't worry, I picked up  the battery operated candles for the grandsons. Last Monday was Christmas and I was able to put together the breakfast casseroles Christmas Eve at Tim's and we made two trips for supplies and presents. Andrew had to work, so we watched the boys open their gifts in the morning and the adults opened their gifts when Andrew arrived. It was a fun day and Tim was a great host. This year we didn't take a group photo, so sad. Here is part of the gang.  Cody, Chas...

It has been such a busy week. I can't believe Christmas will be tomorrow. This year has flown by and now more than ever I ask hubby "where were we when" questions. It seems like the East Coast was a blur. So, let's talk about last week. Last Sunday we went to James Avery to pick up my charm bracelet. Such a beautiful memory of our life on the road. The entire lower 48 states on one wrist. I was thinking I would need five bracelets but was able to manage all 48 on four.  Hubby is so sweet! Love my charms! On another note, Texans and 49ers won! It was a such a wonderful day! Tim was going to join us, but he needed some sleep. He has been working hard and we are so very proud of him.   Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were busy as I was trying to make sure everyone had gifts for Christmas and "keeping it real" I didn't cook much. Monday, Tim did come over for dinner. I made beef tips over noodles. The noodles were made in Amish country and it the meal turned ...

What a week it was! We were very busy but had a blast. Before we dig in, let me show you some clouds that have been hanging out while we have been here. Hubby took this one at Jelly Stone RV Park. I love seeing the rays shine through. Another amazing sky given to us by our amazing God. "Let all the earth fear the Lord;  Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him." Psalm 33:8 (NASB) . Last Sunday, I was able to go to the Book Club Christmas party. It was a lot of fun and we all brought some snacks, talked about the books that we read over the year (I only read 2 of the book they chose for the year.), played a White Elephant game and made 2024 goals. Mine was going to attend at least 1 book club meeting (that will be in March) and to read all of the books that are chosen for the year. Ginny, Anita, Rae-nel, Shar-nel (front row). Myself, Wendy and Fonda (back row). Monday started out with a bang, I had lunch with Kathi (I forgot, again, to take pictures) and we ate...

Last Sunday, we made it to The Met for church allowing us the ability to see Pastor Matt for the last time as The Met's Senior Pastor on stage.  The stage for the last time with Matt. The logo. It was sad and amazing. It is so inspiring to me when believers follow the Lord's call. It was hard for me to sell just about everything, leave the comfort of the family and friends in the area and start this RV journey. Unsure of where the Lord was leading us, but He is so sweet and so faithful. I know He will be the same for Matt and Jennifer on the beginning of their new adventure. It is not always easy, but the feeling that God gives is indescribable. I took a picture, but it wasn't good. The stage lights were too bright, and everyone turned out looking like a ghost. I tried to find other picture that I could take (steal) from other church members but couldn't find any.  Monday, this day we ran errands, and I was able to do some laundry. That is always nice. Tuesday, I was ab...

Well, we arrived Saturday, November 25th and went to our first site, hubby had chosen it because it was a longer length. Well, a tree was in the way of the slide-out, so we moved to another spot. It is a nice spot, not as fantastic as some we have been in, but better than some where we have stayed.  Our site. Last Sunday, we went to The Met (Tim was playing there and will again today), it was fun to see so many of my past co-workers and church members. It was great to see the looks on their faces as we surprised them. Our Pastor, Matt Roberson, is a great guy, paster and former boss. I am very proud of him and his wonderful wife, Jennifer, as they are following the leading of the Lord to go and pastor a church in Oklahoma. Today will be his last day at The Met. I will try to get pictures today to show you some wonderful people who love the Lord. The big glowing spot is the moon and up above it, the small spot is Jupiter. Monday, we walked a little bit, that was good. Really had mor...
