Escapism Supported


Well, it has been a while since I have posted. I got an e-mail from my cousin saying she was catching up by reading my blog but it is not very current. I apologize for that. This summer has been especially stressful for me... lots of construction on my street, lots of people gone on vacation (and not me) and weather being losey for summer, just about sums it all up. In August I was driving past a used car lot in town and saw an older RV. I have always been fascinated with them and never found one where I wasn't turned off by the outside condition or color or the inside condition and color but I still keep looking. I went and had a look. I loved it! I could totally see me and my family (including the dogs) be able to escape in this RV. And true my nature, became obsessed with how I could help make this happen. To cut a long story short, ten days later I went in to negociate a deal and the salesperson offered the RV to me for the price I had pre-determined. It is a 1979 Vanguard RV Model C on a Dodge Chassis (this was important to Steve!). I have cleaned my new toy for top to bottom, made new curtains and hung them up, re-papered the kitchen area, and changed out all the screens. It has air conditioning in the back and everything works! We used it last weekend at Cornfest and it was fantastic. It is now sitting in my driveway so I can play in it here. Steve can have his Mustang! I'll take the RV any day!

HI! I found a post on your blog from 2007 that had a cute Nativity with the work Christ behind it all in wood. Would you happen to still know where you got that and how I can get a pattern or something for our super Saturday? Thanks!!
