Wednesday, Busy Day

Morning everyone, just returned from my first for the season, kayaking trip.  Once my nerves settled down, really enjoyed myself until...the wind kicked up, sky turned gray black, and the water wanted to be in charge.  I quickly paddled around, rocking back and forth, a little to much for me, but finally pointed my bow toward home. Then calmly but in total control paddled back to the launching ramp.  Once I maneuvered the kayak out of the water, with my arms feeling like stretched out rubber bands, decided to go get Tim so he could help me lift the kayak back on the stand.  All in all, it was a fun morning.

Doing a couple loads of laundry, resting my muscles, and watching Tim trying to connect a DirectTV receiver with our tv.  It's almost lunchtime, chicken salad and fruit is on the menu.  I have a hair appointment at 2:30. That should conclude my busy day, minus dinner.

I received an email yesterday from my dear friend Lori.  She also received an email concerning a couple we camped with two winters ago in Alabama.  Donn was diagnosed with cancer in his lungs, colon, and stomach, and has been given 3 months.  He is asking for any and all prayers.  He is 79 and a very special person.  Tim and I enjoyed spending the winter with him and Ginette.  My prayers are going out to Donn and his family.

That's it for now.  May or may not return, depending on any interesting happenings.
Have a wonderful day!

Tuesday, New FB Blog

Ok, I'm there.  I think.  Thanks to Jacki, I now have a blog on Facebook.  The name is Fulltime Sun Seekers.  I have been sending messages out today letting  the folks on my Facebook friends know this.  I need to request y'all to be friends.  But I am already friends with you, so can't figure out how to accomplish this.  Won't let it stop me, though.  I am sure there is a way.  Jessie could not find it.  I think the problem was, I was using Fulltime as two words.  So listen up guys, if I sent you a message today, the spelling of Fulltime should be one word, not two.  Here is my new blog's name...Fulltime Sun Seekers.  Same as before.  If anyone checks it out, maybe you can send me that friend request.  I'll try anything to get it going.  Thanks for y'all's help.  I really want to stay connected with each of you.  We will be heading west when leaving here after Labor Day,  and hopefully all the bugs will be worked out.  Then I can share our wonderful travels in words and awesome photos, with each of y'all.  The west is full of beauty.  So my desire is to share that beauty through my adventures.

Now, I wanted to share a funny happening during one of my nights at the bar.  Or maybe not so funny.   Can you believe two guests actually sat their cute little white fluffy puppy right on top of the bar.  And then that baby started running on the entire bar top.  The bar is an oval shape, and the owners thought it was hilarious.  Another couple there, absolutely did not.  They left and reported it to the manager.  It happened so quickly, I was flabbergasted.  Just another lesson for me to learn.  I've had so many.  Be kind of glad when the summer is over.

That's it for now.  Have a great evening.

Monday, A New Beginning

Hey guys, I'm back again.  As usual, not sure where to begin.  For me, it's easier to just share today.  Wow, what a day it has been.  Backing up a wee little bit, last Wednesday morning, Tim posted my cute, darlin, sweet, sunny yellow jeep on Craig's List. Fifteen minutes later, first call on it and it was gone.  So the new lucky owners from Winston Salem came Friday afternoon to take ownership.  Boo hoo!!  But life goes on.  Thursday morning as Tim was removing the listing on the jeep, noticed a new posting on a HHR SS.  The exact car he has been looking for for way over 6 months.  I was not ready for my jeep to leave me til now.  I called on the HHR. It was near the Charlotte Motor Speedway.  In two hours were placing a deposit on an almost perfect low mileage, 2008 silver HHR SS.  Now that brings us to today.  We picked it up around 11:00.  Had lunch...took the HHR to Auto Bell, then celebrated our buy at Cook Out with Tim enjoying a vanilla shake, me, a peanut butter banana with extra banana yummy in my tummy shake.  As if this was not enough to make a, Life is good day, Jacki called and wanted to come for dinner.  I must say, she just added the icing on the cake.  So spaghetti, salad, garlic bread, and a big plate of fruit...watermelon, blackberries, strawberries, grapes, and pineapple was my supper of choice.

Jacki and Geoff brought us over a direct tv receiver.  She is adding us to their account.  Yahoo, is Tim's response to this awesome kindness.  Thanks guys.  A couple weeks ago, we purchased a new tv.    A 42" smart tv.  That's the biggest size we could get for the area we had.  A few days before that, we spent almost all day trying out recliners.    I bet I sat in over 20 to 30 chairs.  That evening, went back to hh gregg, which was,  by the way, our first stop, and ordered a very comfy power rocker recliner.  Now, Tim can watch his shows on the big screen in true comfort.

Now, for the new beginning.  Y'all know the troubles I have with this blog.  Ok, my thought is to open a Facebook account and post from that.  I will keep it private.  Only family and friends will be able to view it.  I'm hoping it will be easy for me to handle since I have some knowledge with FB.

It should be up and running tomorrow.  Will update you with the title.  It will not be my name.  So check back in the morning.  Can't wait.

Friday, More Excitement

Hello to each of y'all out there in this awesome world in which we are living.  It may be hot, humid, or stormy, but I know we can still find beauty.  I looked out my back window this morning and viewed the sparkling, wavy waters of Lake Norman.  With a flock of 25 Canada geese landing in the water, making ripples where the trees on the far side of the lake are mirrored in the pale blue, nearly translucent color of the lake, what a sight!

Now getting to the next bit of excitement to share, not the geese watching wasn't, it certainly was entertaining,  but Tim has been wanting a better tv for our living room for a while, so off we went yesterday morning to check um out.  What a stressful  project.  We made two trips to Mooresville Best Buy before we conquered our mission.  We ended up with a 42 Vizio Smart TV.  42in was the very biggest size we had room for.  It was a job getting it hung.  We managed though.  We did have to call in the troops...Jacki and Geoff, for help working the remote.  Thank goodness for my babies.  Thanks guys. You're the greatest!   I will share about this fantastic " boy toy" later.

It's almost time for our dinner before we both go to work.  So I'll close for today. Thanks for stopping by.

Tuesday, Excitement

I'm back again sharing with y'all our morning mission.  Buying a recliner for our coach.  What a hard job.  It had to be on the small side.  Not to much out there that we saw and liked in size small.  We did buy one today.  We will pick it up on Saturday.  Crossing my fingers that it's not to big.  I have tried to post a pic of it with no avail.  Someday posting my photos will work again.  Then I will have lots of catching up to do.

We also purchased a fireplace last week.  Again tried to upload a pic of it, and again, failed.  It's an electric fireplace, Amish made, light oak frame, with led lights for the flames.  Those flames look as real as possible.  I love it.  I know, we do not need one now, but one can never pass up a good deal.

Another new addition to our coach will be kitchen backsplash.  It is on schedule to arrive the end of the week.  Tim will install it next week.  He wants me out when he works on it.  I'm happy to oblige him.  Guess if the flights go in my favor, I'll be Ohio bound next Tuesday.  Then returning Thursday or Friday to enjoy my new additions.  So can't wait.  While in Ohio, I'll be able to celebrate Father's Day with my sweet daddy.  Again, so can't wait.  Also, I'll get to play with Trace and Gus, my great grandbabies.  Can't wait for that either.

That's it for tonight.  See y'all back here tomorrow, same time...same channel.

Monday, Day of Fun

I'm back again to share my day.  It started with doing paperwork related to the bar husiness.  Then headed out to meet my friends Kathy, Lynn, and Cindy.  We met at Birkdale, had lunch at Red Rocks.  I ordered crab cakes and potato cakes.  It was sooo yummy.  The other girls ordered chicken salad  and potato cakes. Also very yummy.  Our luncheon was very delightful.  Then we walked the area and went in a few stores.  I bought a pair of white pants...very nautical.  It has buttons on each side just like sailor pants.  They were long and a little belled at the bottom.  I remember having a pair very similar to these many years ago.  They even have a little tab in the back.  Guess I'll call them, my go to pants for summer travel and out to dinner.

I left the girls around 3 and headed for an appointment.  It went well.  Home was my last stop.  A quick dinner, then outside to enjoy the bright sun sparkling down on the lake.  Not to much longer and there will be a beautiful sunset.  I just know it.  Can't wait.  I love my sunsets.  I'm going to take a pic with my ipad and see if I can upload it.  Yes I have tried before, even paid a repair man to help me out with this horrible situation.  And as you can tell, to no avail.  Oh well, some day soon the problem will be solved.

That's about it for now.  Hoping y'all's day was as fantastic as mine.  I'll be back when the sun sets.

June 1, Sunday...I'm Back

Hey guys, we are back in North Carolina-Lake Norman RV Resort, 12 minutes from Jacki's and life is good again.  Still can't post photos on my blog, so until the I can or start a new blog, I will share my adventures with words alone.  Thanks to all who have continued to follow us.

I will briefly as possible share our last year.  We were here last summer, same place.  Left late Oct and headed to Daytona for the month of November.  Tim was able to see many street rods and a couple NC buddies.  Me, it was fun fun fun being with my sweet sis, Jeannie.  She lives in Orlando, about 45 minutes east of Daytona.

Tim's favorite location since starting this new life style, it has already been three years, my time flies, Gulf Shores, AL was our homespot Dec thru April.  That was an experience-some good and some lacking goodness. I was blessed with meeting new friends.  Hopefully life long friends.

Spent the first two weeks of May in Franklin, VA at Tim's previous Uhaul boss and good friend, Rays farm.  To ms mission was to get Rays old cars running.  One of which Tim had built for him.  It was a 33 dodge sedan delivery.  I stayed a week, then drove down to Jacki's to enjoy Mothers Day with her and Geoff.

May 15 was our start date at Lake Norman.  We are workamping here until the day after Labor Day.  Tim tends to the boat rentals and maintains them.  Now, before I tell you my job, if y'all are not sitting down, please do so.  You will not believe this.  I am the official "barmaid".  Ha ha, I know......
Working the events at The resort in Foley, AL, Bella Terra RV Resort gave me lots of experience serving beer and wine.  One night Tim was talking to Gregg, Lake Normans manager  about his job here and mentioned, as a joke, that I could run the bar because of all the parties and functions I worked over the winter.  Well, Gregg jumped at it and here I am.

I will stop now.  Don't want to bore you.  I WILL be back tomorrow with  the days events.  And as always...
