Dizzy, Busy Summer!!

Here we are into the 12th day of September already!!

Short run-down of my summer...

Brother and SIL from Arizona were staying here for a month. Was so glad they were able to make a trip back east this year! Next came grandson from Texas to stay with Gram for the summer. What a time we had! All sorts of activities, from me teaching him to drive a stick-shift on back country dirt roads, to him teaching me how to throw Kunai knives, to him taking care of a freshly hatched clutch of baby chicks, He also ran the utility tractor with the bucket attachment and demolished the pile of dirt in front of the garage, got rid of gigantic weed stocks, and seeded and watered it into a nice lawn. He and his cousin kept a campfire going the last week of his stay, while they cleaned and organized the garage, ran the weed-whacker around the property, and did some general upkeep. Lots of work done, and Fun, fun, fun times with my grands!!

Meanwhile I made the long put-off decision to sell my place and work towards going full-time in my RV and just be free to paint, paint, and paint some more without being under time restrictions to be here or there at a certain time. I have wanted to do this for several years and finally got up the courage, through much prayer and seeking the Lord's guidance, to proceed.

So..... other than company all summer long, my Rav4 bit the dust! Well, it was 20 years old so indeed had been a good run-around and tow vehicle for the last 5 years. Long story short, last week I got a new (to me) vehicle to replace it. A 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with only 8200 miles on it!

I have scheduled a solar install on the motorhome for the last week in October, as well as ordered a "Nature's Head" composting toilet for it, which arrived yesterday.

Will I miss my family? of course, but the plan is to spend the summer in the area. Will I miss my home, gardens, orchard, and greenhouse? Time will tell, but I need to follow the direction I feel best for me to go.
