Once we ...Josie,<br /><br />We've been to many places. <br /><br />Once we stayed at an RV park on the beach in LA. I didn't realize when we went there that we were directly behind LAX.<br /><br />We also stayed at RV park in Malibu. The back of our RV was hanging off the mountain. We could see where the land had slid away and rebar was sticking out of the bank. One night was all I could tolerate of that one.<br /><br />We saw the first snow of the year in the White Mountains on Columbus day. The autumn leaves were beautiful with the snow on them.<br /><br />The sands of Panama City Beach are really white and it's one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen.<br /><br />We've traveled through tornadoes, blizzards, sleet, and a hurricane in our RV. There are times there just isn't anywhere to go.<br /><br />We've been from Maine to California, North Dakota to Texas. There are still a few states we haven't made it to yet.Denise Pattisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09279128805526991872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-91121806305387507292011-06-08T20:11:02.753-04:002011-06-08T20:11:02.753-04:00Hi Dawn,

I've never been on a sailboat only a motorboat. <br /><br />My uncle liked speed and he take us tearing around different lakes. <br /><br />Unfortunately, I married someone who gets a bit seasick on a ferry.Denise Pattisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09279128805526991872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-49008008286108553772011-06-08T12:03:46.263-04:002011-06-08T12:03:46.263-04:00Denise,

I know exactly what you mean about the fridge. It does cut down on stuff being in there too long and being tossed though. I plan a few meals at a time when I shop and I don't buy too many frozen items items either. I love the new milk and juice cartons with the plastic spout and lid on the top, yet on the side, of the carton. I can put it on its side with the spout up and still have a good bit of room in the fridge. I stick to the smaller sized condiments that fit easily on the door. Oh, and those little bottles of water fit nicely under the water tray (from defrosting) at the back of the fridge--and they get really cold there. It's rare for me to leave the grocery store with more than three bags of groceries, simply because I have to plan where to put everything--but everything is fresh when I use it. <br /><br />My husband would love where you're building your house. We're looking into those energy options for our land in Texas. I'll have to let him check out that website.

Living in an RV makes you be selective in what you need to live with and what you can do without. <br /><br />We've been married for 32 years and packing up everything we've accumulated in that length of time is a long complicated job. What do we keep? What should we pass on to the kids and grandkids? What should we just throw away? Even after all those decisions, we've got a shed in Texas that Kevin is slowly filling up.Denise Pattisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09279128805526991872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-61752840624920084922011-06-05T17:01:28.265-04:002011-06-05T17:01:28.265-04:00Thanks, Morgan.

I've met some real characters and seen things that most people miss as they drive through a state on the highway.<br /><br />It's rare for us to be close to the large cities. We're always in rural areas or small towns with friendly people.Denise Pattisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09279128805526991872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-49433725942682129182011-06-05T16:52:18.133-04:002011-06-05T16:52:18.133-04:00Hi Vicky.

We bought land in Texas a year ago and that's where we go between jobs. Our children live east of Dallas. <br /><br />You could visit relatives in the north during the summer and head to the southern states in the winter. That's the ideal life. <br /><br />If you have any questions about this lifestyle feel free to contact me. I'll be happy to give you answers.Denise Pattisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09279128805526991872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-84451468608410397492011-06-05T15:27:32.709-04:002011-06-05T15:27:32.709-04:00I feel like I've been visiting with you, Denis...I feel like I've been visiting with you, Denise. You place sounds lovely. I am glad you've adjusted so well. All this time I've been thinking a small trailer, but your home looks very comfortable.
