GoodNESS!! Have I really ignored this blog for over 2 years!! That simply CANNOT be allowed to happen again! I blame it on Facebook which is where I have been spending all of my time and uploading all (well, most) of my photos. I started this blog as a way of keeping a diary. I used to write in a book that is kept by my bedside but I stopped doing that at least 10 years ago. So, I thought I would start a blog to keep my thoughts and ideas together. Well, shoot, then I go and ignore it! What in the world have I been thinking about for the past 2 years? I can't remember yesterday let alone 2 years ago!
Let me see, (digging through the cobwebs in the corners of my brain)....I'll start with my last post. October 2013 - we bought a FEMA trailer to refurbish and set up for my oldest daughter. Annnd, as per her pattern, 4 months later it was no longer needed. She had moved in with a roomie and signed a 6 month (or so) lease. Wait, something's wrong with those dates. Hmmm. Anyway, Fast Forward to present day ... the FEMA trailer was sold and we no longer have it. Moving on to the next project.
The husband is attempting to re-roof our home with that new metal roofing instead of shingles. It really looks good! Well, the part that's finished does. He seems to be taking his sweet time getting to the rest of it. I need to apply a boot to his butt I suppose.
And on that note, I have a dream! I dream of traveling the country. I'm currently 48 years old and want to hike the Applachian Trail before I'm 50. The problem is that I still have school age kids who keep me at home with their activities. SOOOO, the AT will have to wait ... at least for another 8 years. It's still doable then too, as long as my health and body holds up.
I'm also thinking of purchasing a used short school bus and ripping out the seats to refurbish it into a tiny house on wheels. Then I can hit the road and take my own bed with me! The husband is more than welcome to join me and we can see the country together. Hopefully, by the time we leave, the mortgage will be paid off and the only worry the kids will have is to keep the lights on at the house. I would even allow them to stay there rent free, as long as they continued to be law abiding citizens and didn't do anything that would require bail money be wired to them.
Okidoki then. I guess that's all that's on my mind for the time being. Christmas is coming up next week and all that jazz so I suppose I need to get my head out of the clouds and figure out what I'm gonna do about the holiday this year.
Later ya'll.
