We were up at the crack this morning. Sherri had to be in McKinney this morning to meet her brother. They are headed to some town in South Louisiana. It is a 7 to 8 hour drive and they had to get started early. Well that meant that ol Speedy had to take her so we were off about 6:00 am. I hate traffic! Now I want to tell you that North Dallas has big time traffic. I have never seen the like of cars. It took me 45 min to get there and 1 hour and 15 min to get back...Ouch! I was wore out by the time I got to work....and about 1 1/2 hour late.
OK that being said I need to comment on Darell and Judy's journal for a minuet. I don't know how many of you read good ol Darrell's journal but he is a gifted writer and funny to say the least. He open this morning by saying that he wished he did not have to work and that he should just go back and get a full time job!!! OH my I almost lost it. If he had a comment block on his journal I sure would have commented. Darrell!!! wake up man...what your doing is not working ...I am working Darrell. OK I am strapped to a desk and a computer with people constantly coming in whining because Latasha looked at her funny and she knows it is because she broke up with her boy friend and she is making fun of her for losing him...Oh no Darrell you don't want a job. You have been out of a job too long and you just think you want one...set back take deep breaths and repeat after me .....I do not want a 40 hour a week job with all the headaches and butt chewing and moaning and fighting traffic to and from and on and on BLA BLA BLAAAA.
OK I hope everyone out there understands what I just said and if you need anymore explanation I will be glad to help you out. Workamping can be enjoyable if you don't lose sight of what a real job was like and what all was involved in doing it every day of your life for 45 years.
I do plan on working some of the months between traveling and visiting the kids. We will need to supplement some of the higher cost of fuel and this would be one way to lessen the blow. I will never lose sight of...One: what a real job was like and Two: the money I save working will help me travel a little further at a later date.
Our life style will fall short of the glamorous lives of many full timers but I will venture to say that non will have anymore fun than I. I am mentally preparing myself for camp grounds without lush green yards and workout rooms...Spas and Olympic swimming pools...golf courses...shuttles to the Wally World...and 45 foot Wonderlodges that go on forever. I will be in Uncle Buddy's Campground and Body Shop but I will have plans to see everything within one tank of diesel that is free...which will include beautiful sights that the good Lord made and does not charge the general public to look at . Can I get an AMEN?
OK I am through with this sermon but I am not through with the message. I am going to get me some ice cream now... jump on chat with all my good Dreamer friends...see what everyone has been up to today. I will be back tomorrow with more words of wisdom and truth. Until then my faithful readers I will see you again Somewhere in Time

AMEN Speedy...Have you heard it's not about the destination but the journey..Just smile and realize that everyone you are working with now will still be there after you leave:)...You and Sheri will have a great time and Ellie and I will race you for who has the most fun...Hang in there and we'll see you guys somewhere in time...Jim
And a second AMEN to you, Speedy! :) We'll probably be parked next to you someday at Buddy's RV and Body Shop.
We are good friends with Darrell & Judy and enjoy his writing, too. Yeah, he's having a tough time out there kayaking and playing with others. :)
Enjoy the journey. Hope we see you on the road.
AMEN!! I too read Darrells blog, but I just can't imagine wanting to be stuck in an office once on the road. It won't be long, Speedy
Dee
Another AMEN. I know that you two can't wait to get on the road.
I worked for other people for 50 years, and know that workamping is not going to be like a job you stay at for years and years, waiting to retire. It is a whole other mindset.
Happy Trails, Penny
