Good, beautiful, wonderful, glorious morning to ya!

Hi there,

Top of the Morning to you!  If you have just tuned in for the first time, welcome and if you have been here before, welcome back!


We have been covering some mighty big stuffs lately and thought it might be time to stop for a moment and catch my breath...

What a day for us here yesterday!  Whew!  I knew we had a lot of check outs, so I loaded a bag full of clean linens first, we loaded the cart up and took off.  We worked over our shift but it wasn't too bad!  We had 3 lodges  and 3 kabins to clean.  Some of the lodges have lofts in them with 2 double or queen mattresses and some have just the bunks and a fold out couch. 


This is a lodge, just like a trailer or RV.  Home for a time!
It takes about 30 - 45 min. to clean









one of them well.  We take everything in, broom, mop, cleaning bucket and then we start stripping beds. Steve takes all the linens to the laundry and starts them and I start on cleaning the kitchen first and then the bathrooms.  We vacuum the mattresses after spraying them with spray.   
However, yesterday we had 3 cabins and 3 lodges to do.  So we stopped by the checked out cabins and pulled all the linens and then did the same with the lodges.  We had 5 satellite bathrooms (these are toilet, sink, shower) and 2 laundry rooms, the main bathrooms - 2 showers, 3 toilets/or urinal. 

Well, we work well as a team and for the most part stayed in incredibly joyous moods during this time.  We only worked an hour over our time and everything got done!  We were tired though.  But I had made pbj's and put dinner in the crockpot before we left, took the pbj's with us and we headed off.  We had 53 overnight campers, 8 tenters, and 8 kabins and lodges full.  It was Awesome!
I get excited when the parks fill up!  It might mean more work for someone, but it means more people are getting out and they are not worrying about the gas prices, they are going anyway! 


This is a Kamping Kabin, usually has a bed and bunks. 




We have just 2 more workdays here!  Sunday is so busy!  But it will be fun! We will go to Church of His Presence in Mobile AL and then head out to Biloxi for Joel's 5th birthday. It's a little early, but his friend is moving and so are we.   Joel has such a wonderful personality.  He and Sophia will be so grown by the time we return this way.  They will also have a new little brother or sister by then. 

 Then we head out to Theodore AL for warrenty work on the trailer.  We are hoping that it takes just a day or two. We will then head up to Tennessee, to see what we can see. Below, are pictures I found of the area in which we are going. 

We will spend about 25 days here, just taking it all in.  We will trek through the Smoky Mtns. and find ourselves lost in our thoughts but not the area.

We will then move on to Michigan.  The top of Higgins Lake!  We will be there from May- the end of Sept. Here's some more pics of that area. 

  

We have seen a few of these crazy critters here, at least down at Navarre Beach.  Love this area and will really miss it, we love the oceans roar- it reminds us of the strength God has.  Here's a few shots.

 Jelly fish - man of war!  Stings like crazy!  We have gone out to the beach when the east winds come, that's what brings them out.

 

We will also definately miss our daughter and her family!




Until next time...

We are back

 It's been a while right?   A lot has happened since the last time.   We sold Roonie about 2 years ago.  She was a great rig.  She took us to places we never dreamt of going.  We were in Vidalia LA, Beaver UT, Omaha NE, and Montana a few times. We put about 40,000 miles on her.  We crisscrossed America.  Highways and Bi-ways, National Parks, and a few state parks.  We worked at different KOA's for 7 seasons.   Roonie went to a new home and we got Gracie Royale.  Gracie had low miles on it and she has not run the US as much yet, but she is gearing up to.   Mary passed over the Rainbow Bridge the day after Thanksgiving.  We always told her when she was ready, let us know.  She did.  She was an amazing girl. Mary was prescribed by a doctor in FL. Her story is truly one of a fighter who wanted to live.    Life goes on right?   With the Sudden death of my son, at the age of 39 at the end of February, and the two non-speaking-to-us children we have- one just delivered her final blow,

Because He loves you.

When you start reading different stories in the Word of God, you begin to realize that perfect people were not in the Bible.  So why do we think we have to be perfect first before we come to the Lord.  We don't, that's the beauty of it.  He turns our lives around, he accepts us just for who we are.  Some have done so much in their short life that they wonder if they can ever be accepted or forgiven.  I am here to tell you, Jesus saves.  He loves us regardless how we view ourselves or feel about ourselves.  He brings us out of the pit of despair, the pit of hell, the grip of the enemy.  He does and he finds us valuable in His Kingdom, even if the world doesn't.  He finds us and lifts us up to be something great.  We all have calls on our lives, but it's what you do with that knowledge and call that determines your outcome.  But I have to say sometimes we put ourselves into such a pit that we can not see how we can get out of it.  When we can't seem to see a way

Waiting/Wading in The UNTILS

  What does that mean?  Waiting OR Wade in the Untils !    We all wait OR WADE for or in the UNTILS  a few times in our lives.  We wait until we get married, or our children start school, or until  our debts are paid off, or until our kids graduate, or until this or until that.  UNTIL death do us APART- our wedding vows.  The Meaning of UNTIL is... until ŭn-tĭl′ - a  preposition Up to the time of. Before (a specified time). Unto; to. We ALL wait for the UNTILS!   What is your UNTIL?  Our UNTIL is ever-changing, much like everyone else's.   Sometimes we even tell our loved ones that UNTIL you change, this won't happen!   But friends, if you want change you have to be the change first.   Our UNTILS were hard as many of yours may be too!   Wait until the cancer treatment is over, wait until we get to where we can settle down.  Wait until we know the schedule to add any more to it.  We sit on wait, waiting on UNTIL!   But UNTIL what?   Sometimes the wait is HARD, sometimes it is a
