December 31, 2014 (by Angela) One year ago today, Jim, Chewie, and I were just about 30 miles from where we are living now. We were in Pensacola, Florida, for the Pelican drop. A spur of the moment decision to head south took us there for the week of New Year’s. All three of us…
December 29, 2014 (by Angela) Cold and Wet. That is what the bulk of the last six weeks has been whether in Nashville or Cornersville, Tennessee, or Paducah, Kentucky. The only real reprieve has been the three days spent at Lake Guntersville, Alabama, so we decided to take the week of New Year’s to go…
December 25, 2014 – Christmas Day (By Jimmy) It’s the day we call Christmas, and in the RV, Nothing is stirring save Angela and me. We had the traditional gathering at Uncle Joe’s. The food was wonderful as this morning’s scale shows. The presents unwrapped with holiday cheer. It’s always festive having the family near.…
December 23, 2014 (by Angela) After an entire month parked in one place, I think we were both excited and nervous to hook up and move the 5th Wheel. The goal yesterday was to be ready to leave by 9:00 a.m.; we were pulling out at 9:04. Had our automatic front supports/levelers worked automatically, we…
December 20, 2014 (by Angela) Today, Jim and I will be involved in preparing ourselves and the 5th Wheel to move up and down the I-65 corridor. We and other members of our family will go over to my Mom’s to visit tomorrow and have our “Christmas” lunch with her, and then all of us will drive…
December 18, 2014 (by Jimmy) – A few days ago, Angela left to help our son Nathaniel move from Georgia to Tennessee. She took the dog with her because “technically” he is Nathaniel’s dog. I’m guessing when Nathaniel gets set-up in his own place we’ll have to give him our couch and get a new one. Anyway,…
December 18, 2014 (by Angela) Last night, as Jim and I were returning home to the 5th wheel after dinner out, he said, “We need to write another post.” He also let me know that I should be the one to do it. Too tired last night, I had to be like Scarlet O’Hara and…
December 11, 2014 – (by Jimmy) Wow, that cold hung on for quite a while and I still have a bit of a cough and throat tickle, but the worst of it is behind me (hopefully). I did have the best doctor anyone could ask for, Angela. Let it be known, when I’m sick, I’m a…
December 11, 2014 (by Angela) We’ve now had a couple of nights at or below freezing again, so I feel like I can give a really good update on the two windows I covered with plastic weatherization material. It works! Drafts are minimal – I really think any drafts I feel are more from seams…
December 6, 2014 (by Angela) Now that it has rained and the temperatures have dropped again, I am able to see how well weatherizing of our smaller bedroom windows is helping with condensation. (See Experiment in Process and Challenges and Things I’d Like to Change for background.) Below is a picture of one of our living…
