Dear Fellow Farmgirls,
I have missed you all! I have been crazy, busy getting ready for my new adventure. My DH and I have scrapped our Hobby Farm dream and will be traveling the country full-time in our new Fifth Wheel! My DH retired from the Air Force last year. We have been searching for our little farm over the last few years and have decided that we are going to travel instead. We joined a site called workamper.com. We put our resume' on and have two destinations already lined up! Our winter will be in Louisiana on the Mississippi River and the summer will be at Dworshak Reservoir in Idaho! We exchange some maintenance work for our full hook-up RV site. I have been busy having yard sales and getting the house on the market. I had a very successful "Man Sale" last weekend. I sold my Hubbies hoard and made over $5600! I am very excited! This adventure will give us a chance to see the country, meet lots of people and finally decide where we will plant ourselves. My DD will be in Hawaii for the next three years and my DS will be in Wisconsin. I don't have any grand-babies yet so it is a good time to travel. I have also been getting my Mom's house cleaned out. I have found a really nice Senior Apartment for her and will be auctioning off her house. It has been let go and needs quite a bit of fixing up. She is finally on-board with moving and letting go of all the stuff. I hope to start a blog about my adventures, maybe I could be the Traveling Farmgirl! Wish me luck!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Very fun and it is wonderful to be able to explore the "world we were born into"...our home planet earth. It truly is our zone to live in and be a part of as mammals. Have a grand time! I am in awe of so many different landscapes, small towns, scenery. :-) Annie

Safe Travels, Have fun and keep in touch.

Diane,
You and DH will be having so many fun adventures that you will always cherish.
How exciting!!! Know how fortunate you are!!
That was always my dads retirement dream, but with helping his own and my moms ailing parents, he was never able to fulfill it.
Cherish and enjoy every moment!!
Blessings,
Linda
