Winter RV Work

Boy it's nice to have a lot of friends who care!! Waking up this morning and doing my normal things was a complete pleasure because I had a ton of welcome back emails... YES-YES-YES we are back to having electricity...

First we want to say this summer was a complete blast... The boss in Idaho is a true example of what a boss should be like. What a great experience we had this summer. Some bumps along the way but more on the personal end then anything - but with God's gift of patience and teaching we were on the road of where we wanted to be heading... We miss so many people already that are still back in Idaho. And we thank the neighbors who came the last couple of days to say "Hey can't wait to see you next year".... That truly meant a great deal to us!! And thank goodness for email/facebook that's all I can say...

The trip back was an easy one and we talked about the things we learned and the things we need to change for ourselves before heading back for next season. The thing we value the most is the change that we put ourselves through to be better people. By doing right and being true the blessings come pouring through and it was nice to be able to give back too!!

So OMG I get to start follow/read my fellow bloggers friends blogs and we are changing the way we blog to help spread the support towards other bloggers. Give back - give back!!

So it's back to work for Jorge tomorrow - and don't feel sorry for him. He is jazzed to do it. His winter boss is a like his summer boss... We love that!! Easy work and aways a praise for him on how well he does. Great view and just a short walk to the hot house.... Oh yeah right now it's about the hot house for us.... The beard is gone and so is the dead skin... With a little help from Nivea (check out their web site) http://www.niveausa.com/ ...

About two weeks ago I got to meet Dutch and Diana well because they are friends of friends. Even got to go to dinner with them. A very nice couple and super helpful on giving us advice on our next rig. Well Sue our friend brought me over to their truck and pulled the tail gate down and told me to close it. Well my thought was OK? Why? OMG... OMG... OMG... it was so light!! But how the heck is that possible??

Click ---->TAILGATE EASYLIFT<---Click

$30.95

This is device that allows you to life your tailgate with super ease - even if you have a load of laundry or whatever. If I didn't lift this tailgate for myself I would of never believed it!! It was like lifting air you could use just one finger to lift the tailgate up.... I was so in awwww shock!!

They have all sorts of RV friendly products and have a huge, huge customer base. I am just excited because I seen for myself how awesome their products are.

What was great about Dutch & Diana is that they aren't pushy about their products - they don't have to be really "See it for yourself and your a customer for life"

As many of you know we are getting ready to upgrade our RV home and once we do we are going with PLUG IT RIGHT for sure... You so need to check this site out and I am sure a lot of you have heard of them...

Buck Knives Tour

Buck Knives

Are you a knife collector? We are not but our dear friends Sue and Bob are. I never thought to ask how many they have – but I know since being here they have 4 new ones. They took us to Buck Knife factory in Post Falls, ID about 10 miles from us. They have a cute little store in which we visited.

I have a funny little story about our visit. I was watching a video they had up on their television that was filmed at least a good – 5-10 years ago and so it was about the history of the Buck family. Chuck Buck was talking next to his son (sorry forgot his name) when I happen to look out into the hall because there where people talking. LOL I so kid you not it was Chuck himself talking to a customer. But what the real joke of the story is that he was wearing the very same shirt in the video. Then my smarty pants husband dared me to walk up to Chuck and say: How much wood can a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood. Now I am known for pulling off such stunts without a second thought – BUT in this case because he was with a customer I dared not do that.

So here are some picture from that day’s visit – I loved the museum and was amazed at the history of the company – I had no idea how huge this small family company was/is….. And there store prices are way way way cheaper than their catalog or web site – so if you are a collector get on over to Bucks soon!!

Idaho

Hey folks. So sorry we have no inet and won't for a good week or two. We have to pay a big lump of money to have our service re-activated. So we'll have to hold off for a bit. The new company we are working for - we haven't started yet and they only pay once a month so we need to keep our cash flow as is till pay day (I love the once a month payment - save us from spending money - bingo).... Life is great up here in Rathdrum. We have our first company meeting on Wednesday and we'll get to meet the entire gang. So far we love everyone we've meet. And by golly the company has a super super super management staff. Drama? Heck NO...
Our location is up in the mountain and we have lots of wild life there - so far we've seen frogs, turkeys. moose, bear (they are super super tiny compared to Mammoth Lakes, bears but these are super wild and so no more fears), quails.

How to Fight (Funny Friday)

WIFE VS. HUSBAND

A couple drove down a country road for several miles not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
Neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats and pigs the husband asked sarcastically 'Relatives of yours?'

'Yep' the wife replied 'in-laws.'
