Happy Birthday Annie.....and, A New Direction?


Well, this post is a tad late, as Annie's birthday was March 26th.  We celebrated her birthday by buying her an Orthopedic dog bed and making Instant Pot Brownies (for us, not her) and then I forgot to post it to my blog.

She turned 15, this year!!!  So happy to still have her with us!  She adapted to the RV life better than we thought was possible.  The only bad thing is, after this time of her laying on her bed.....she really wants nothing to do with it.  She prefers to lay on the floor???  I mean, come on, that floor is HARD and that bed is so comfy.  Yes, I tried it....LOL

Anyway, 3 days after her birthday we got a call to meet the owners of this RV Park up at their living quarters (when they are in the park).  They didn't mince words, they told us they were letting us go.  We were shocked...they said it was nothing we had done, we were good people and it was just that they wanted to do a 'reset'.  Meaning they were letting us and one other person go and hiring who they wanted. What a blow!!!!  

After the owner convinced us to stick around here through the winter to help make the transition from one owner to the next easier and to wait for the current managers to be gone......we didn't look for any jobs as we'd been told they would love to have us stay permanent if we wished to.  That worked for us so we didn't even check out the new job offerings coming out.

To say we are still in shock is quite an understatement.

So, we are scrambling to find a new Workamping position close to us or within reason.

We've heard from RV parks back in NY, KY and a few others but that is just too far to go......now that we are a little leary now.....we don't want to go somewhere that far and have the RV park tell us.....ummmm, we changed our minds...bye.

Hurt.....YES.....upset....YES....a little nervous...double YES.....this was so unexpected and came out of nowhere.   I could have understood, if they hadn't asked us to stick around from October through March.....and things would get better. 

So, we are scrambling to find a new job before our two weeks is up.  Thankfully, the owner's wife told us we could have two more weeks, here, while we looked for a job.

But, it sure makes us a little leary now....

We'll get though this, the Lord will help us find something.......

We are off to go check out the Tulips at the Tulip Farm. :-)

Have a great day!!!!!

    What a shock that must have been! So sorry.. but as you know.. one door closes.. another opens up. I hope you will be able to "relocate" to somewhere close by. The new owners probably new people who wanted to be in your position, and that's why they let you go. I had that happen in a job once... great boss.. I was doing great, etc. but someone came along who had worked for him before, who needed a job.. so I got replaced! Very shocking indeed. Keep us advised as to where you end up! Marilyn

Crockett, Texas "Paradise in the Pines"

Image
Crockett is about 40 miles from where we are staying at our current volunteer job with VCB.  We had gone there once to pick up a prescription and get a few groceries but didn't venture down to the actual town. I always have to look up the history of the town or what it’s known for or how it got it’s name….and of course things to do and see there.  Here is what I found: The town was named after David  Crockett  who reportedly had camped nearby on his way to the Alamo; the site was very near the Old San Antonio Road. A family from Tennessee donated the land for the town and named it after  Crockett , whom they had previously known. We, also pass through Groveton, on our way to Crockett to get groceries.  A week or two ago, on our way to Crockett, we passed a field where they had some guys in civil war uniforms.    We didn’t know what was going on till we got home and I Googled it….and found out they were enacting the battle of blackjack grove.  If we had known about it,

It's a God Thing, for sure

Hello.....some of you may have been following me on my other blog, http://Pawsn2stamp.blogspot.com  and have asked that I do a travel blog. Some of you know the story or how we became interested in volunteering with VolunteerChristianBuilders.org  and that is what we are getting ready to do. The name of our blog depicts the very thing I said when I had been talking to a friend via e-mail and told her how we had been tossing the idea around for over a year and I was getting so frustrated because we couldn't decide what to do.....sell the house or stay.  We couldn't go do what we wanted if we didn't sell the house but on the other hand, I LOVED my home.  So, one day, I told her "I am so frustrated, with the back and forth, back and forth trying to decide whether to do it or not, I guess someone is just going to have to knock on my door and ask if we want to sell the house and I'll know it's from God"  Well, not even 20 minutes later, the doorbell rang

A Memorial to our wonderful Annie!!

Image
I haven't posted since November and some of you know the reason why, but for the rest of you....... On December 7th, we lost our beautiful Annie.  I still have a hard time talking about it, without choking up.  She was truly a gift from Heaven to us. I posted on Facebook but I just couldn't talk about her in person, without crying, and after almost a month, still have a hard time. But, since she was such a trooper and started the RV life with us at 12 years old and put up with travelling all over the US,  I thought she deserved to be honored in a blog post.   Please feel free to just move on if you aren't a dog lover, I'll understand. So here's to one of the best friends we've ever had.   I got to thinking that she traveled through 26 states with us during her lifetime of 16 3/4 years. She saw both oceans and walked and peed on a lot of different soil.  :-)     Annie as a pup in 2004.  She was a Mother's Day gift from our younger Son.
