cool day outside

The wind is picking up and it still cold outside. Since it's another day spent
inside i decided to try a new receipe thought up by me! I sprayed a little of pam on the pan, then I took 2 chicken breast (for hubby) 2 thighs (for me) and floured them as if i were frying, then i sprinkled meat tenderizer & cajaun seasoning over the chicken and added about a 1/2 c water and 3 chicken boulin cubes. Put in the oven on 350 and baked for about 40 minutes. It turned out really good! Then i cooked up some rice o roni chicken flavored and spiced up some green beans and we had our meal. Looks yummie huh? (I usually cook enough for left overs for a snack later if wanted).

It's seems it's going to be another cold day outside. The rain has stopped, but the cool temps are still here. Appears to be another day spent indoors lazying around. Here the view out my bedroom windows.

We got neighbors!

The rain has finally stopped, and it's chilly outside today so I decided it was a good day to do some baking. I have a chocolate cake in the oven now and I have home made white bread raising on the stove. Tonight we are having spaghetti and home made bread for dinner with cake as dessert!

We have no neighbors today, I guess with all the rain yesterday Billy & Craig decided not to come back. I can't say as I blame them, not much to do in a van when it's raining. I have only seen one car drive through the park today, I guess the weather is keeping everyone inside!

I forgot to take a picture of the cake, so here is one of what is left. Hubby loves his chocolate cake!

We've been living inside of Ms Southwind a month today!

The van dwellers came back late yesterday afternoon and spent the night again. They were sitting outside, so I went over and introduced myself and we started chatting. It was great to have another lady to talk to, I hadn't had that in a while. We discussed how they got into van dwelling and they showed me how they had their setup inside their van, wow, I was amazed how organized Billy had their van. I was also amazed as Billy (lady) is disabled and only has one leg. Yet she camps in a van and gets around like you wouldn't believe. Billy said that they are hoping to someday buy an RV and live in it as we are doing. Her husband (Craig) is still working and they have a few years left before he can retire. It was nice to have someone else in the park with us again. I had missed having neighbors. I adore and love hubby, but getting him into a conversation some times is worse then pulling teeth!

It's a cold & rainy day today, although I do enjoy the sounds of the rain drops hitting the roof. We are warm & cozy inside, I put some beef in the crock pot. I love crock meals, they are so easy!

Wow, we got neighbors! I woke up around 4 am and looked out and we have a van on one side of us and another parked in a handicap parking space in front of the shower house. Then we have a tent behind us! I heard a noise around 6.30 am and the dogs decided they need to go outside. I got up and took them outside and the camper at the shower house drove off. Then around 7 am the van packed up and left. It's a cloudy day today and their predicting chances of rain tonight and tomorrow. The sun came out a little bit later and so hubby and I decided it was monthly maintance day. He showed me how to open the hood and how to open the batteries and we added water to them. Wow, they had bubbled over. He showed me how to check the oil, power steering fluid. I'm not sure I will remember that one. He also showed me how to check the tires for pressure. I always wondered what that thing was he carried in the vehicles.

Since the sun had come out and gotten warmer, the dogs and I took our daily walk, then of course when we got back home we had to take our daily nap!

longing for spring

Wow, I woke up this morning to the birds cherp and the squirrels playing. It's a beautiful day outside today! In the 60's! I sat for hrs this morning just watching the squirrels out my window. Then I took the dogs on a very long walk and they loved it. After our walk we all needed a long nap!

I'm enjoying these nice temps compared to what we had been having. Wow, makes me long for spring even more so

Moved back today

I woke up this morning, took the dogs out to do their job and then came back and got dressed, hubby got up and we unhooked and headed back to the park. We pulled into the park and WOW, the roads were still packed with snow and ice, but melting. It was a bit slick but we did okay. While we were coming in, since our black tank was almost 1/2 full hubby decided to go ahead and do the dirty job ... Of course you all know this has to be his favorite job as a full-timer .. NOT!!! Although he said it's not really to bad, the worst part is having to clean and put up the hose. I always keep some bleach water close for him to wash his hands with afterwards.

After we got settled in and hooked back up, i sat and looked out the window at my wonderful veiw! Wow, it's nice to have a beautiful view out my window again. We were greatful to hubby's place of work for allowing us to park in their driveway during the bad weather but i sure am glad to be back in the park with a scenic view! Piece and quiet again!

One down fall to staying in a parking lot is the noise. Right now with the off season, the park is pretty quiet and right now we have the entire park tour ourselves! The squirels seem to be so happy with warm temps as they were all out running around and playing today. It was neat to watch them out my window. Not sure how well you can see them in this picture.

what a muddy mess!

Well today was suspose to be moving day, but apparently the weather men still have trouble forecasting the weather. It was suppose to be a thawing day but when we woke up this am we were still frozen. So we have decided to wait until tomorrow to move. Although it did finally warm up and get up to almost 60 degrees! Wow it felt good, but what a mess. I took the dogs for their walk this afternoon and wow, it's a muddy mess outside. When i got back i had to wash the dogs feet before i could let them inside. While we were on our walk i took the camera along and did manage to take a few nice scenery pictures. I won't show you what my veiw looks like out both my windows. It's not a pretty site.

Catch up day

Today is Sunday, and since the place of business is closed, i have been online most of the day, trying to post to my blog and replying to e-mails. I also had to check and see what my other fellow Rver's are doing. Had to catch up with their weekly happenings. Wow am i ever ready for this weather to break and thaw us out. I want my nice scenery back! Winter go away and bring me spring and flowers!

okay i have been on here all day, more later, have a good one everyone

I think were litterly frozen down

We are still parked in the parking lot. Wow these cold temps are just not letting up! I haven't did too much, with the extreme cold temps and damp weather my back is really hurting.

I don't think we could move the motor home if we wanted to, we are litterly frozen down! Last night got really cold and when i got up this am i kicked on the furance to help out the 2 electric heaters that we have running. The temp said around 67 degrees inside. The news said that it got down to 5 degrees last night with windchills -3! Wow, it's cold ... I want warmer weather!

One plus is that i have free wifi internet and so i can at least get online and play yahtzee, yes i'm addicted to that game. Out of respect for the company allowing us to park here, i wait until after business hours to access their wifi. I figure during business hours they are using it and if i get online i may slow their connection down.

I did call the park we were staying at today to see if the park was open back up yet and they said no, that they were planning to open back up on Monday or Tuesday, because Monday is a holiday no one will be around and so the shower house will not be open but we could come in since we are a self contained unit. That the roads still were not cleaned off, but by Monday or Tuesday we should be in the clear.
