This won't be a detailed update but did want to let you know that Somewhere is still in the shop. The brakes were covered by the recall but Workhorse took their ever lovin' time approving it. Also, several other jobs were covered by the extended warranty and that had to be approved. I got new tires. Carl Black Chevrolet was able to get the same tire about $200 cheaper than my bids at other places. So I now have new tires and they are on Somewhere. I'll really be able to hit the road when I get her out of the shop next Tuesday.
Not much else going on but I do have 6 work days remaining to work. I have 2 sick days to take so next week I have Dr/Dentist appointments to take care of.
I am having mixed feelings about retirement. It is scary especially knowing that I have worked since I was 14 years old w/the exception of the 3 years I was home with my son. I have so much planned that I'm thinking maybe I have too much "planned." That may sound crazy but I thought retirement was supposed to be laze fa ire, but then again, I feel good about what I'm going to do and where I'm going to be through next July. I'll put that in another post later in the year.
Okay, so I said I was scared, I'm also, happy, contented, pleased. I'm not looking back at all questioning my decision. I know it's right for me but what if the money runs out? What if Somewhere breaks down? What if I get ill? What if...What if...heck, I've asked all those questions before and have "planned" for possible answers/solutions. You know, I'm doing okay! I feel good about my decision and I'm gonna have fun!
Look out America, I'm on my way!! :) Well, almost.

Sedona has been microchipped!
Thank goodness for the Nashville Human Shelter. They had a microchip clinic on Saturday so for $20 you could get your fur baby(ies) michrochipped. She was not a happy camper. Only because the last time I had her groomed at Pet Smart, they did something to her that makes her snap at people who come toward her as if they are going to take her from me. So they had to get a towel to cover her head. As the lady at the shelter said, "give me a towel, we have a biter!" Ugh, that didn't sound too good. She really isn't but it does take a while for her to warm up to strangers.
Anyway, she is now microchipped and ready to travel. I hope I never have to use the service but it's there if I need to. The company who monitors this service is the New HomeAgain.com. One call does it.
I have also ordered a new collar that has her name and my cell number on it. My friend Margie has one for all her fur babies and I like them. I'll get neon pink and I'll show you when Sedona is able to model it.
BTW, microchipping is painless to the pet. I encourage this process as well as spay/neutering. Be smart pet owners.

Lesson Learned
When you are parked on a slope and you are disconnecting your toad from your motorhome, make sure the car has been put in park.
Yep, yesterday when I was having my little brake condition with Somewhere, I had to disconnect my Grey Goose (HHR) from her. I had tried a few times and it was in a bind and it was hot and I was sweating, profusely I might add. So when I pulled the last bolt, yep, thar she went!!! Now I'm sure it was pure entertainment for the guys across the street at the body shop to watch the "mature" "plus size" woman running down the parking lot chasing a car and opening the door and hopping in to get it stopped before a very large tree stopped it.
OMG, that all I can say. Hope you can get a visual of that little lesson learned.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR BRAKES LOCK UP?
Answer: the coach shimmies, smell of rubber burning, brake peddle gets spongy and the ABS light blinks on/off.
Yep, take it from me that is exactly what happens and thank goodness for Coach-Net.com, Harpeth Towing and Carl Black Chevrolet. But most importantly I'm thankful I had a safe place to pull off at the bottom of a hill in Charlotte, TN. pulling a toad. WHEW!
This was the first opportunity I had to use Coach-net and they were so helpful, friendly and consoling that I just had to give 'em a plug here. Amy and Greg handled my/me complaint with professionalism and caring. I know that's what they are supposed to do but it sure worked for me 'cause let me tell you I was just a little bit stressed.
Then the young man, Sean, from Harpeth Towing was so nice to me. He said he could tell this was my baby and he would take real good care of her. Guess he thought it would make this old woman feel better and it did.
Carl Black left the gate open a couple of hours more than usual to be able to take Somewhere in and park her behind a gate with "puppies" running around. At least that is what Kemp, the service manager, said when I told him that MH contained my life. He assured me it was in good hands.
Here is the story:
I picked up Somewhere in Clarksville to take her to Montgomery Bell State Park for the weekend. My BFFs, Randy and Debbie, were going to stay there to just get away; Debbie to swim/RR and Randy to play golf.
I program Stella so that I could know how to go the back way at 44 miles instead of going around the world at 76 miles by coming back to Nashville. So off I go. No problems. Two lane roads (blue roads) but that is okay, gotta get used to the right? Anyway, a couple of times I pull off to let traffic go around me, see I was in no hurry and I think they were. Each time I would pull over, I'd get out and walk around Somewhere just to check make sure things are ok. No problems, get back in and off I go. The hills along this route are not big hills, at least not compared to Monteagle or Monterey MTN. The next to the last hill I go down Somewhere was not acting right, a woman knows these things, but it was short and I thought maybe I was just imagining. Nope, the last hill confirmed what I had suspected and now what was I going to do? I tried to gear down and I couldn't do that, a 4-way stop was coming up at the intersection and I was just praying I could stop, no one was there except my little mama angel on my shoulder. So yes, I did it! I admit it, I ran the stop sign and went right into the parking lot in front of The Pig Pit, yep, there I was in the middle of Charlotte, TN, do I know how to pick 'em, I was sure to have something to eat because it smelled so good. But about that later.
I got out and there was a horrible smell up front. I put the hood down (on a MH the hood goes down and not up) because I thought maybe it was the transmission since it wouldn't gear down. But that smell! Yuck! So I get back into the coach, start up the generator so get some air conditioning going, man it was hot.
I began calling Coach-net. Amy answers the phone and the first question she asks is "are you in a safe location?" I assured her I was and then we start talking. This was the first time I have used this service since I got Somewhere and it paid for itself this one time, if I never have to use them again. I also know what questions they will ask next time and will have those answers ready so I don't waste so much time, phone minutes, you know. LOL
Amy connected me to Greg who was the RV technician and he asked me questions, I had no clue, like "do you have an I beam?", "how far is it from middle of the front tire to the front of the coach?" I have no clue, should I go measure it? "yes" Anyway, Greg told me he would call a towing company for me and they would take Somewhere back to Nashville to Carl Black Chevrolet.
What? I've got a weekend planned, I don't have time for this. I sure didn't want to disappoint Debbie & Randy and I was looking forward to setting everything up and then kicking back for the evening meal Debbie had prepared, barbecue.
Amy called me back and said it would be 2.5 hours before the tow truck could get to me and I asked her what time the dealership closed, she would call me back. They would send different tow truck that would get to me in 1.5. After 1.5 I called Amy back, no tow truck, she called then called me back, 10 minutes.
While waiting I knew that I was not going to get that barbecue from Debbie that night but hey, Mr Pig Pit was right there in front of me. I had gone over when all this first happened to see if it was okay that I park in their lot. Wasn't their lot, it was the cities and they didn't care if I parked there. Okay, go get some lunch, barbecue sandwich. Yummy! I highly recommend their food. Nice clean place so if you are ever in the neighborhood at Charlotte TN you might want to try out the Pig Pit.
I asked Sean if I should follow. He told me I could but that I would probably want to go ahead of him. It might be tough to watch my "baby" being towed. He had made a few jokes earlier about this was his first time, he had only dropped a few on the interstate but then he got serious and I guess could tell this was really my first time having this done and he assured me she would be fine.
I, in the meantime, called Carl Black Chevrolet to let them know we would be delayed and he assured me they would have a gate open for when we got there. Sure enough at 7:45 we pulled into the dealership and that's where she is today.
Workhorse had a recall on the brakes saying something like this could happen so hopefully the costs will be covered by the recall. I asked them to go over her with a fine tooth comb as we were getting ready to hit the road next month. Oddly enough I had an appointment this coming Monday to do just that, have her checked out. There were a couple of more recalls that I was unsure that the previous owner had them taken care of and they were going to check those. They will check my transmission as I told him it wouldn't gear down for stopping. So I'm hoping everything else checks out okay.
Thank goodness it happened close to home, thank goodness my son answered his phone so he could hear me and give me assurance, thank goodness Debbie and Randy found reservations at Tims Ford State Park and their weekend wasn't a complete wipe out, thank goodness I had decided to leave Sedona at home, thank goodness no one or nothing was damaged, thank goodness Theda was available to hear me cry after it was over. Oh I could keep on going, but you get the drift. I'm thankful!

Maggie and Sedona
I am house/pet sitting for my friend, Sandra. Sandra will be Sedona sitting for me when I go on my cruise so this turned into a win-win for both of us.
Sandra lives in Bellvue which is on the opposite side of town from where I live and I am not at all familiar with the area. I did learn where the library was on the first night as I figured I needed to become familiar with Nevada Barr's novels. She is a good author and writes about murder mysteries in the National Parks. When you read her website and her sister's blog, she is just an amazing woman.
But I digress, Sandra's full bloodied Yorkie is Maggie. She is maybe a year old but I think maybe a few months less. Sedona will be three in September. Here they are together.
It was the best shot I could get of them together. Trust me when I say they are both only fur babies. Sedona is not used to sharing and Maggie just loves all the dogs around her and wants to give them kisses. Sedona said she was annoying.
Whew, I'm so happy that I "shaved" Sedona. I could not keep up with all the hair on a true Yorkie cut.
Maggie doesn't like to be brushed so I held her down a couple of times and said, "you my dear, are going to be brushed whether you like it or not." I was worn out when I got finished with that. LOL
After the first night of missing out on sleep, the girls settled down and now they are leaving each other alone. First night Sedona ran around the ottoman five or six times full speed ahead with Maggie hot on her hills. Sure wish I had my camera for that, it was funny. Afterwards they were both exhausted and laid down for a rest.
Both girls are used to sleeping in the bed with their mistress'. Now that get's a little complicated when they are both vieing for the same place. See with Duchess, she sleeps at the foot and Sedona sleeps at the top. Well, Maggie sleeps at the top too. Here in lies the problem. Finally after all the jockeying for position, last night was peaceful with one on one side and one on the other. Whatever, it worked!
Have you ever tried to walk two dogs on leash? OMG, they each try to go their separate ways or they cross over in front of each other to take lead and then there is a big mess with the leashes tangled up.
Good thing though, Sandra's complex has a swimming pool and not many people (none) go there and it's quite and peaceful. Should have played hookie this week from work but I have Saturday to play in the pool.
The neighborhood meets in the evening and Sandra has been used to taking treats out to the meeting place and all the neighborhood dogs are used to getting treats. I am continuing the tradition, Sedona has met some new friends. There are two little blind dogs who come to the treating. Good neighbors.
It's been fun and it will be good for both to have had time together before a whole week.

Parksville Lake in Benton TN-Southeast TN
Another year has gone by and we had another terrific family reunion at the lake. The cabin is rustic, no air conditioning but holds a lot of fond memories for those of us who go down there yearly. We have already made plans for next July as my schedule is so booked already. As I am driving up from FL to head to the Rally in Louisville, KY, we set the date where I can stop and see family mid year. Thought it was a pretty good idea.Sis Shirley brought decorations for the downstairs for all the birthdays which occur in 2009. That way everyone gets to celebrate and no one gets left out. So Happy Birthday, Moore Family.
My nephew, Jimmy, told us all a story about our great-great-great grandmother walking out of the mountains from NC (Cherokee)and how she met her husband and other geneology information for the family. He also sang a song that some of the relatives remember her singing which was a Native American song. Also, if anyone is reading this and recognizes any names and wants to contact me, post a comment and I'll be in touch with you.I'm hoping in my travels I'll be able to stop and do some research in OK and ID to see if I can find more information. Jimmy is getting me some questions together that I will want to answer.
We had great weather and such fun at the lake. It seems we grow every year. We had two new additions this year. One was called the Gladiator, the other the Banana Split, no, they aren't family members they are pull behind the boat blow-ups. Can't really call them an inner tube but it is the same principle. My sis, Wanda, was brave enough to ride the banana split with her grandson, Heath. She is one brave 65 year old sister. Love her for her spunk! She survived! LOL
On Friday, 17 of the family went rafting down the Ocoee River. Then we went to the Ghondlier to eat and it was so good. This was the first time my gd, Taylor got to go white water rafting and she loved it. I don't think it will be her last time.Nephew, Jerry got me a neon light of a parrot holding a margarita glass (well, it's actually a martini glass but I'll call it what I want! Ha Actually it was a replacement for one he broke of a dolphin. I think I came out better, this suits Somewhere much better than a dolphin, don't you think? It adds the ambiance I need to living.
Guess I would be remiss if I didn't mention the ping pong we play and how I had to relinquish my championship to son, Jonathan. That' all the space I'll allocate to that!
Most of the other pictures are of all of us gathered having fun, feeding our face and feeling good about life.
One things is for sure Mamma & Daddy made sure we knew how to have fun and how to love family. We learned very well from them. Those who enter our family learn quickly or they don't get to come back. LOL Actually it's not hard to learn, it's all about Live, Laugh, Love.

"Gran, what's the big deal? It's just another day!"
Where did this little girl go?Birthday's are always special. It's nice to get recognition for turning a year older (wonder who started that?) and then life goes on, thankfully.
My darling granddaughter, Taylor, turned 13 years old today. I was making a big deal about it last weekend when I was with her and she just looked at me and said, "Gran, what's the big deal? It's just another day!" So I thought, what is the big deal about turning 13? It's kind of the right of passage into womanhood, I suppose. It also says to me, she's not a little girl anymore. Life moves at such a fast pace these days. Selfishly I would have liked to have had more time with her as a child. Now I get to enjoy the deep conversations she likes to have. I get to enjoy the swim meets. I get to hear the excitement in her voice when she plans for her future. I also enjoy the pride she has in her grades and in school.
I'm excited that I have a teenager. Hope I can remember what it was like when Jonathan was that age. Oh, but what if I do? He was a boy. I'm sure their needs will be much different.
Love you Taylor and it is a big deal, you are officially not a tween today. You my dear are a full-fledged teenager!

Happy Birthday, Jonathan
Today is my "baby's" 34th Birthday. He started coming to this world on July 15, 1975 at 8:00 a.m. and on July 16, 1975 he blessed me with his presence at 2:13 a.m. Was I ever happy to see him. What a blessing he was for us! He was such a good baby, great child, and what a fine young man and terrific father he has turned into.
Happy Birthday Jonathan, I hope your day was a good one. Love you.

Retirement Date Selected
I know I have missed talking about my birthday and celebration on the 4th of July so I'll do that in a later post. I just wanted to make this announcement.
I have made a decision that I will retire on September 1, 2009. I am not going to delay it any longer. I am not happy at work, nothing much to do. I can be more productive living my life on the road and I feel GREAT about my decision.
I had my plans all laid out beginning in November forward, now I have to decided what I'll do in Sept and October but I'm sure that won't be too difficult to figure out. I'm thinking the Smokies in October sounds mighty fine. Who knows? I do know I'll be staying pretty close in the area.
I have a cruise planned in late September and my flight leaves out of Nashville so I'll hang around for that. Anyway, that's what I know and I so very excited.
Gotta get tires for Somewhere and probably Grey Goose. There is a recall on Somewhere's Chassis so I'll get that taken care of in September so I guess I'll have enough to fill my time and I won't know what I did before I retired, right? That's what I hear so we will see.
So get ready blog, get ready world, Here she comes!

Duchess Turns Four
Duchess is my BFF, Debbie's poodle. She turned four and Debbie, the ultimate party planner, had a birthday party for her. Of course, Sedona got to go along with two other friends of Duchess. There was Allie at 8 years, Duchess was 4, Sedona is almost 3 and Precious, a yorkie/poodle mix, is about 6 months old.
At first they were not sure of each other. Precious had way too much energy for the others. I believe she got on their nerves. Finally they finished with their sniffing and checking each other out that they began to ignore one another. Probably with the thought that if they ignore it, it would just go away.
Debbie served Frosty Paws (doggie ice cream) and then had gifts for the guests. For adults she also served ice cream but no gifts for us. Hey, Deb, what's up with that? I had pondered what Sedona would wear for the occasion but then decided it was way too hot for her to wear anything except her harness and collar. Just as well, she shouldn't show up the Guest of Honor, right?
We tried to think of a way we could take a picture with all the dogs but couldn't figure a good way, so here I am with three of them and they were not happy campers. They were too close to each other. Guess I'm not much of a dog whisperer after all.

We tried to think of a way we could take a picture with all the dogs but couldn't figure a good way, so here I am with three of them and they were not happy campers. They were too close to each other. Guess I'm not much of a dog whisperer after all.
Later...
