April is Here...

Well we have finally made it through March. I hope the weather will start to get a little warmer. I am so tired of Winter.

We didn't have any family at our house over Easter weekend, so we just kicked back and relaxed on Saturday. On Sunday, we decided that we better accomplish something, so we started cleaning out the grandkids toy closet. Wow, what a mess!! Didn't realize how much stuff was in that closet! We sorted and tossed out a lot, and packed away just a small amount. I have sorted through our Movie & DVD collection and boxed some to sell, some to give to our kids & grandkids, and some to keep. I will probably have to narrow down the keep list more, but may want to watch some again before getting rid of them.

We have started painting the inside of the house, and have the bathroom and hallway finished. We have moved on to the family room and dining room. We have it all trimmed in and half painted.

Had to stop on the remodeling...we were both sick! That upper respiratory infection! Yuck!

Our next project is to go through all our kitchen things to see what we will want to keep and get rid of. That will be a chore for this weekend.

I think we have decided not to have a yard sale, but to maybe have an estate sale. I have sold some of my collectible items on an online auction site and have done well. If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know.

This weekend will be busy for us. HaHa! KU basketball and NASCAR racing. Maybe a little work will get done in between.

I will post some photos on our progress when I get my camera charged.

'til next time....

Our First Post

We are new to the blogging world so this first entry may seem to be rambling. Mac and I have started to make our plans for retirememt and to go fulltiming in our new RV that we are shopping for. We have a small travel trailer that we now own. We go camping as often as we can and love the lifestyle, so we decided that when we retire we will live in our future RV fulltime.
We have went to many RV shows and have pretty much decided that we will buy a Heartland Bighorn 3670RL or a Heartland Landmark Agusta. They have the same floorplan but of course the Landmark is the top of their line.
We will be selling our house so we have started downsizing. We are sorting through years and years of personal belongings. Some are not real important, but some are very important to me. I have started sorting things to get rid of, give to the kids, store, and take. I will eventually sort through the storage list and narrow it down to as small as possible. I know that our list to take with us will also need to be narrowed down because of the small amount of space we will have in the RV. I didn't think that it would be hard to get rid of all these things, but when I pull out a photo or a little collectible figurine that one of my kids or grandkids have given me, it is emotional.
My husband, Mac,(Gregg) will be retiring this fall, but will be working for another company for a couple of years and will be doing some traveling to different jobsites as an Enviornmental Inspector. I'm hoping to retire after the first of the year and accompany him at least part time.
So, I have rambled on enough for today. Wish us luck on our dreams of fulltiming. I'll keep you posted as our plans progress.
