I hear the 3rd time is a charm!!! We Shall See!!!!

Why am I starting this back up you ask?  Well I actually have a countdown calendar on my computer that reads 367 days today.  Which means with luck, good health and some good MoJo,  we will be putting on the "Rambling Man" music a year from now, turning up the volume and pulling out of our digs down by Coldwater, MI in 367 days! 

Yes we are STILL working on doing some traveling at least 6 months out of the year!  Some of our plans have changed.  Instead of one vehicle and dragging that all over, we are working on purchasing a large 5th wheel for a home base.  Then having a Class A Motorhome to travel the rest of the year with.  Now be kind, don't snicker trying to figure out how we are going to pull this out of our butts?

With a little luck and lot of hard work we found the good life!  Randy has continued with his typical Country Trader business.  We were lucky to pay attention over the last year.  I sold my glass studio that went to lots of good homes, worked on selling books.  Didn't work, too much work not enough return!  I had been having feet problems, and discovered the raised bar that Birkenstocks and others install behind your toes was giving me problems and pain.  So I looked at my collection of close to 20 pairs (no I didn't buy them new, I can't afford that!) I checked to see what those things sell for on Ebay.  Light Bulb going off here should blind you!!!!!

Yup I am selling used, name brand shoes.  Brands like Dansko, Clarks, Birkenstock, Ferragamo, Easy Spirit, Naot, Teva.......you get the picture.  Well, lets just say the Motorhome should be named the shoemobile!!  In stead we will probably refer to the entire adventure as Shobey Doo.  Since our two Great Danes will hit the road with us!

One of the main reasons we altered our plans was to be near our 3 Grandsons.  Yup,  since I last wrote on here, we have been blessed with little Brandon, who is closing in on 3 months.  Xavier at 5, Brock at 2 and little Brandon are more than we can leave for any one long length of time.  We are also waiting to see where Todd & Erin will land when he gets out of the Marines.  His plans right now are to return to college and getting his Masters Degree.  Erin should be finished with her Masters about the time he is getting out!  Where they end up could dictate which way we wander when we leave next fall.

So our first step is getting a lot at Potawatomie Recreation Area between Union City and Coldwater, MI.  Both of our daughters and families have seasonal lots there already.  We are just going to overload the facility with Schafers!!! 

So wish us luck, encourage, snicker, whatever, but just enjoy the bumpy ride.  I found a saying and want it up next to my Simplify Sign.  Thing about this one "If your Dreams don't scare you, they are not BIG enough"  Dream big my friends!!!
