Not much to report, and not many pics this week, but rumor is the mechanic is making progress on diagnosing the oil leak – and he says otherwise the RV engine is running great! In the meantime, we’re enjoying San Diego, practicing patience while we wait 🙂 This week we… All the while we’re soContinue reading “practicing patience”

family, friends & freeloading 🙄
We spent a couple of VERY HOT days traveling through Arizona, and then dropped off the RV at the mechanic in San Diego on Monday afternoon. After a brief trip to South Mission Beach to enjoy some ocean breezes, we checked into a very run-down and dirty Mission Valley hotel – which totally screwed upContinue reading “family, friends & freeloading 🙄”
TX to NM to AZ in one fell swoop
Friday afternoon we collected and processed all our mail, and Deron was happy to discover he’d received a box of belated birthday cookies from the Chappy kids – how did they know Oreos are his favorite? For my early birthday gift, Deron bought the current season of Top Chef on Amazon Prime, so we’ve beenContinue reading “TX to NM to AZ in one fell swoop”
California, here we come (again)!
As the ongoing oil leak saga continued, we heard from the San Diego mechanic that they felt the Beaumont mechanic was jumping the gun by concluding that we need a new engine, as they hadn’t performed all the testing that would be required to determine that. The San Diego mechanic tried reasoning with Beaumont, andContinue reading “California, here we come (again)!”
highs and lows
One year ago today Deron worked his last day at UPS, and we put our house on the market and set #nomadlife into motion. But TBH, this hasn’t been the best week. By the end of last Friday the mechanic thought he knew what the problem was with our coach, but wanted to run aContinue reading “highs and lows”
hotel hell
IN NEW NEWS – we’re rethinking our next series of destinations!! Our original goal was to spend spring in Tennessee, the Carolinas and New Hampshire, so that we could enjoy the milder weather and then decide if we loved any of those locales enough to brave the hot, humid summer. But due to all theContinue reading “hotel hell”
the one with all the gators
Saturday morning we checked out of our room at La Quinta, picked up the RV from the mechanic, and checked into Grand Pines RV Resort, about 10 minutes away. It’s a new park so it’s pretty nice – but they really need to mow the grass! Out behind our site we finally had our firstContinue reading “the one with all the gators”
making the best of Beaumont
The first part of this week was filled with ridiculous amounts of Boggle, plus lots of laundry, and hanging out in the park (pretty much daily) with our senior citizen friends. Highlights were receiving a letter from our nephew Britt, attending church on Sunday at Life Vine again (which I’m beginning to appreciate more andContinue reading “making the best of Beaumont”
day trips & dog park rendezvous
Weeeellll, since Deron fulfilled his jury duty on Tuesday without getting selected, we packed up and headed to Beaumont on Wednesday for our oil leak repair….but it turns out the mechanic was ALREADY on vacation! So, our repair has been delayed by a week, and we had to turn around and go back to Livingston.Continue reading “day trips & dog park rendezvous”
taking care of business back in Livingston
We had a fun time riding the Galveston ferry again – this time high up in the coach with a great view! Once we were across, we headed through some interesting scenery (including giant flocks of pelicans flying by, and a crazy bridge that looks like the type I have nightmares about) to Livingston, thisContinue reading “taking care of business back in Livingston”
