Hey Dev - remember this?


This picture is from our stop at my dear friend Devin's house on our way to Oklahoma way back in May.  I'm terrible about getting pictures off of my camera in any kind of speedy fashion.  LOL

My girls and Dev's boys became fast friends, and spent Saturday morning/early afternoon playing outside together.  Next time we will definitely have to plan for a longer stay though.  I felt like we were just getting started and we had to leave!

One of these days I will have to write about our trip.  But today is not that day, as I think I am going to brave the beach today.  It's supposed to be 89 degrees here, and while I LOVE my a/c, my girls would LOVE the beach even more.  :)

Happy Friday!!

Animal Cruelty

I just really think some people are just cruel to their pets.  Take, for example, this poor soul.  Honestly, what self-respecting dog would allow his people to put this on him?  He looks totally depressed.


Yes, I know animal abuse is actually a serious thing, and I really do feel that being cruel to animals is wrong.  I just thought this hat was flippin' hilarious and had to share it with my readers.

Ande's been stripping

our motorhome down to the chassis.  It's been a long process with several late nights and hard work involved, but he's pretty much got it down to where we need it to be.  Here's a few pics...

A few windows have been removed and a little bit of the aluminum siding as well

A view from the back

All of the windows and siding gone from the driver's side

If you sit on a kitchen chair while driving your motorhome around your yard, you might be a Redneck.

Most of the floor removed

Right down to the chassis

So, that's where we're at right now.  Just so you know how much I love my readers, I did NOT post the picture of Ande cleaning out the black water (sewage) tank.  Turns out the previous owners didn't empty it before selling it to us, and Ande didn't discover that little tidbit of info until he was ready to remove the tank.  Yeah, it was pretty gross.

As I mentioned before, we found a floor plan we liked, and had the opportunity to go check out the motorhome we are going to be modeling ours after.  It's pretty cool.  Here's a drawing of the floor plan:


We'll have to make a few adjustments to the design for the simple fact that we need more seat belts than this design has, but this is pretty much going to be it.

Oh, and all of this work has been done in our driveway and back yard.  Our neighbors must LOVE us.  LOL
