At our new Workamping job!!!

Hi everyone,

Sorry it's been a couple of months since I last posted.  We were a little 'down'  for a bit but, after a lot of inquiries and calls back and forth to prospective job offers, we are back to working again.

After leaving Columbia Riverfront RV, we stayed for a few weeks in our friends' side yard.  So, thankful for them allowing us to do this.  And, we had some really great visits while we were there including them including us for Mother's Day.

While we were there, we were able to have an RV repairman come out and check out our electrical problems.  Thank the Lord he did.  What he found was a real mess created by the factory we purchased our not quite 2 year old RV from.  And, they were not very helpful in helping him or us with any sort of schematic for the unit or any help in any other way, for that matter, except to tell us our warranty had elapsed and they couldn't help us. 

But the Lord came through for us, Big Time.  We were able to pay for it with money we had saved and not having to put the entire thing on a CC.

Josh got us all rewired and SAFE!!!!  I would like to give him a huge recommendation to anyone who is in or near the Vancouver, WA area.  The name of his company is Accurate Mobile RV Repair and his name is Josh Charles.
He is very honest, very thorough and does great work!!! 

If you end up calling him....tell him that Dave and Char Wilson sent you :-)

In the meantime, I was in contact, via e-mails, with Ranger, Michelle, at the Dworshak Dam Visitor Center.  She had seen our resume on Workampers and wanted to know if we would be interested in working at the Dam Visitor Center.  (we get a lot of chuckles out of saying that).  We thought long and hard about it and decided it would be something totally different than what we had been doing....so we accepted the position with the stipulation that we were having electrical work done and weren't sure when it would be finished.  She was fine with that!!

So, my next blog post will begin the adventure of working for the Army Corps of Engineers at the Dworshak Dam in Ahsahka, ID.

I would post some photos this time, but it takes FOREVER to download anything.  My photos MIGHT show up in a day or two....or not ;-)

I'll be sure to update more often...maybe earlier in the mornings when everyone else is still in bed.

Did I mention Wi Fi isn't the greatest here and the phone service is even worse....but thankful we have any at all!!!

Until next time,

Char

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...

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...
