How many Hours in a Day? How about minutes in an Hour??

If anyone could tell me the  real answer I'd like to talk to you.

I am sure I have been missing some hours or minutes lately. Time can't possibly go by that fast, can it?? Either that or someone decided to borrow some from me. and forgot to bring them back.... just sayin'.

So here is what I p ainted for day 2 of my challenge

"Breaking the Time Habit"

The idea being to s-l-o-w down and enjoy enjoy the moments.

 

 

Anyway, I had a wonderful time getting together with Jo of "Momma's Little Runaway and the Tin Can Cabin". and "The Good Luck Ducks" girls, Anne and Roxanne; as well as Lucy and Terri, a couple other RV'ers and Jojo's friends. The food was excellent as well as the conversation.  I had some of my boon-docking questions answered by Anne and Roxanne. We also talked about what Jo was looking for in an RV, vegan food, Lucy's interest and talent in mechanics, and Terri's upcoming trip. That was on Friday. Thanks so much, Jo, for opening up your home for all of us to get together. You were the perfect hostess!!

Saturday was to be spent on more painting and "organizing" the outside RV compartments. I had the compartment emptied out and stuff sitting all over the ground when Deaf Ranger came out of the house to announce he and Carol were going to some estate sales, run by a "Three Sisters" company, and invited me to go. I hesitated..... but not for long. Off we went. Now, I can't post all I got here cuz some might be for gifts, but I also found 4 classical music cd's ( I listen to them while I paint), a few more storage baskets I needed, a novel by Debbie MaComber, and a chee se knife. Ohhhh, I so want to tell you about the other finds, but can't. I may just burst from the suspense! Hard for me to keep secrets :-/

We stopped at a "Baggin's" for lunch. I had never been to one before. The sandwiches are fab! I would go again. Then we went to look for the new Hobby Lobby store, as I needed more small canvases, but it is still under construction. So we found the Michael's store. They had all sizes of canvas, and some on sale. I usually order mine online, but needed them now.  We arrived back at the ranch in time to get my things put back into the outside compartments and let the dogs out for some time on their cables. No time for a walk today. Then I tore apart the inside and re-re-organized stuff in there so I could get all my canvases in one place, rid out food items in cold storage under the bed, and make room for my "finds". No painting tonight. I'll just have to catch up later.

Day #3

"Treat them Special"

Need to have treats for the fur-babies .... especially to bribe one that easily slips their collar!

Here is Deaf Ranger enjoying his morning coffee and the sunshine in my rig.

Even though I am parked right now at my brother's, I still stay in my RV. I like routine and I think it's important for my pups. I tried staying in their beautiful and comfy guest bedroom, but really like the coziness and at-home feeling of my rv.

Today we went to church, then headed out to Walmart for sandpaper and to return the second heater I had purchased that didn't work for my situation. I did manage to find some flannel sheets I had been wanting at a reasonable price. Also bought some new rechargable batteries. What I got back on the heater paid for my purchases today.

Enjoying the time together

After that we went to La Parrilla Suiza, an authentic Mexican restaurant, for our dinner. The food was delicious and the atmosphere quite friendly, in a beautifully structured setting.

After arriving home I tended to Miss Izzy and Curley Joe, taking them for a long-awaited walk.

I then got out some of the canvases and prepped them for painting, 15 smaller ones and 2  8 x10's.

Looks like I may be painting all day tomorrow it looks like the weather is not going to be so nice.

 

Till next time!
