Sorry it has been so long!

I just realized I haven't posted to my blog in about 2 weeks!  It has been a rough month for me since my dog passed away.  I have been trying my best to get on with life.  I did visit a small RV show here in my town.  I looked at the difference between a Class C with the full bed overhanging the cab and some of the new models. I don't know if they are considered Class B or what.  The newer ones just have about 1 foot or even less overhang.  You may wonder why this concerns me?  Well, I'm claustrophobic!  The overhang bothers me when I'm in the drivers seat.  I don't need the bed up there anyway, so I'm looking for something different.  I think I'm going to have to go with a small Class A.  

I watched some videos on youtube.  I learned how to dehydrate food. I also learned how to make potato soup! LOL You can learn how to do anything from watching a youtube video!  

Some friends of mine and I made some knit hats to donate to a local church that feeds the homeless twice a week.  I'm posting a pic of some of the hats.  Today I found some great warm winter gloves on sale at WalMart for $1 each.  So, I picked up some of those to hand out too.  You might be wondering about the weather....well I woke up to snow this morning!  It was cold, rainy, and windy all day.  Don't forget I live in Southern Oregon!

             Thanks for reading!  Happy Friday the 13th! ;)

$500 Million MegaMillions Lottery

OK!  So, I have lottery fever, just like millions of other Americans across the US.  I tried last Tuesday to win the MegaMillions $363 million lottery.  I didn't even get 1 number!  Friday the jackpot will be over $500 million, or half a billion $.  Chances are the jackpot will be shared by more than one ticket owner, but this is what I would do with my money!

Doomsday Preppers

I was flipping channels one night and found National Geographic's program "Doomsday Preppers"  It is a 1 hour program that shows 3 different Americans and/or Canadians that are preparing for a disastrous event.  I'm fascinated by two things:  one is the amount of people that believe a disastrous event will happen and secondly, the amount of food, water, and ammunition the preppers are hoarding. 

What do you think about this situation?  How would you prepare in a RV?  Does living in a RV hinder your ability to be prepared for a disastrous event?  Do you keep extra medical or emergency items in your rig?

As a young child I remember my grandmother sending me into the garage to get some tuna fish.  She had a large storage area of food.  I have always had lots of food on hand because of this.  I also have stockpiled other items in the past as I have been a big coupon shopper. 

Those RVers that boondock are well on their way to being self sufficient, but where will you get your food and water from? 

I hope this isn't a frightening post to you. I'm just curious about the idea of prepping.

What in the World is Geocaching?

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it .........

Recently while looking at other blogs I found an RV blogger talking about Geocaching.  I have heard the term but didn't know what it meant.  So, being the computer whiz that I am (lol) I googled Geocaching.  I found geocaching.com It has great information and a forum for questions.  

Geocaching is a high tech Easter egg hunt.  Someone hides a container of inexpensive knickknacks -- a cache.  Then they post its latitude & longitude on the Internet, and other people go hunting for it with a handheld GPS.  If they find it they trade knickknacks and sign a log to record their visit. Cache containers can range from a 35mm film can to an ammunition container.  They must be sealed to protect the contents from the elements.

Sometimes the geocaches can be found very easily, sometimes they are farther into a forest or the woods and harder to find.  

This seems like a very interesting hobby/sport/game to me.  I think it would be a very fun activity for an RVer to do.  I'm going to check into it further.  I will let you all know what I find out! ;)

Welcome Spring!

Happy Spring!

Yes, it snowed in Klamath Falls last night!

I went outside to put the trash out tonight and it has mostly melted.

Welcome to my 2 new followers who ever you may be! LOL I don't know how to tell who is new.

  Thank you to those that continue to post on my recent loss of my 4 legged baby.  I brought home the ashes today.  The box is beautiful. 

20 Followers????

Wow I hit the 20 followers mark today, I just want to say thanks for stopping by to read my blog.  I don't have an RV yet, but I'm actively looking for one.  I have been doing a lot of reading in books and online about the RV lifestyle.  I appreciate any input or ideas you may have.

On a sad note, my Vet called today and Bear's ashes are in.  I think it will be a few days before I can bring myself to go pick them up.

It's still very cold here in Klamath Falls.  I think it snowed last night, but there isn't any on the ground.
