No name for her yet, waiting for her to tell me, haha. Picked up this sweet ride a few hours away for $900, and I feel like I stole her! Ran great, motor and tranny ran smooth, good tires all around. Has some things to work on, naturally, but yay!!!! <br />

Got into a funk, I suppose. Let's see, to catch up on things since my last posting.<br />
<br />
Got somewhat settled into the new place. Think I got a little bummed out about it, actually. Going back to what is considered 'normal'. Totally opposite of what direction I had been going before. But it can have a bad or good outcome of this, more on that later.<br />
<br />
I sold Van Halen. :(:(:( Hated to do it, sooo bad!!!! Had to sell one, and the car was the practical choice to keep. Only good part of that was that Van Halen was bought by someone who was to use her for what she was intended.. a family of 4 that was to camp out of her on hiking trips, and the guy was going to live out of while on working away from home. (Thank you Corey!)<br />
<br />
I believe the sell of her, housed with having a house with all it's trappings and repairs and stuff needed just sent me into a downward spiral of depression. Did not handle that very well for a long while. But I'm working on it and moving forward.<br />
<br />
Forward to almost Christmas and WHOA!!! I became a grandma. :D Christmas Eve I was lucky enough to be in the room while my daughter gave birth to my first grandchild. Born at 7pm on the dot, weighing 7lbs, 7oz and 20 1/2" long after... 17 hours of labor. Grandson loved his 7's, huh? Hehe. Daughter did awesome, giving birth completely natural. And he's such a cutie!!!!!!! This 'Gigi' is so in love!!!!<br />

(My dad holding him next to mom, such a sweetie!!)</div>
<br />
Also decided to go back to school, so I'm getting used to that. Have 2 years left for a bachelor's in Health Information Management (HIM). It's all online, so that part is way cool. Aiming to work in coding after I'm done. Which can be done remotely. *wink* I picked HIM because 1). it's all done online, no driving 50 miles one way to the university for Pammy, yeah! 2). it goes with both of my associate degrees in Computer Science and Radiologic Technology. 3). Coding is computer driven, meaning less physical strain on my bum wrist. and 4). can work remotely from a company not local, and this is a plus because, let's face it, where my house is now there just aren't that many jobs in this depressed local economy.<br />
<br />
So far this is working out pretty good, financial wise, as I can concentrate on school full time without worrying too much about a full time job. I live cheap, that helps. I picked up a very part time job off the books to help supplement spending money, so that's cool. :)<br />
<br />
The car situation.. My car isn't going to last the year, I don't think. The first cylinder is failing, so the motor is going out. Runs for now okay, but I know it's limited. Hell, it's a cheapy car that isn't worth anything, so the plan is to run it til she dies, in the mean time, keeping my eyes open for my next vehicle... which, you guessed it.. will be a van!!! :D<br />
<br />
Next van: still undecided whether to look for a cargo van, conversion van, or minivan. It will probably come down to the best one in the best condition when I have the money for it. Or need for it, should the car die tomorrow.<br />
<br />
In summary: while working towards my remote new career, I'll be looking for my next 'Pampervan' and get to start over with a clean slate. Eventually, be able to have my cake and eat it, too. Ie. have a cheap to own paid-for homebase with a camper van that I can use to travel while taking my job with me. Oh yeah!!!! <br />

<br />
White paint everywhere, new carpeting in all bedrooms and hallway, new flooring in kitchen.<br />
<br />
Also remember, I had everything I owned condensed into a van, so I was basically starting over with ZERO furniture and stuff.<br />
<br />
Most of these things was either donated, or found very cheap. Had a <u>ton</u> of help from family, thank goodness!<br />

I didn't take any pics of the spare rooms, they are bare, just white walls and new carpet. Nor the bathrooms, still working on them as well.<br />
<br />
It's a work in progress. Not too bad for a home base to come back to when I travel some. And when the road gets weary, place to come back to. :)<br />

<br />
I kind of had a house fall into my lap. Well, a mobile home. But, it was cheap! Like $1500 cheap. Yeah.<br />
<br />
So, sold the Dolphin and made enough off of it to pay for a home. BOY did it need work!!!!!<br />
<br />
Have been working on it just over a month and the improvements are quite impressive, if I do say so, myself.<br />
<br />
Here's some pics of before:<br />

And the smell, omg!!!! Lots of pets, 3 little kids, and I swear, they didn't EVER clean. <br />
<br />
For example, that newish looking fridge that was less than a year old took me and my sister 2 hours together to clean. <br />
<br />
We decided to paint the whole darn place white, so it'd be bright and clean looking. Replace nasty carpet and put in kitchen flooring. <br />
<br />
Will put in a Part 2 to show what a month's worth of work accomplishes.<br />

Kind of had to, needed/wanted to have a few more amenities. Mainly, bathroom facilities and air conditioning for this upcoming summer. I got a good deal. Needs work, of course. One of my sis's want's to 'glam it up', haha... but here's the new wheels.... Flipper. :)</div>

<br />
So, last week my parents had me doggy-sit their dog, Wesley. Just for a day. But dad did bring food, water, doggy bed, and doggy treats.<br />
<br />
Somehow, the doggy treats got hidden and left in my cabinet. Well, mainly because the doggies were driving me nuts about them. But, there they were.<br />
<br />
Last night, during the storm, since there were possible tornado activity, me and my doggy, Chevy, were up and prepared to hide for cover. Since Chevy wasn't taking a liking to the noise of the rain and thundering and kept pacing the floor and moaning, I decided to give her one of Wesley's bones. <br />
<br />
Well, imagine if you will, the need to try to bury a bone, the fear of not wanting to go outside...what's a doggy to do?? Yes, I found her trying to 'bury' the bone in the corner of a decorative part of the house with twinkle lights. <br />
<br />
The lights didn't work for covering it up, apparently. haha....<br />
<br />
I next found her trying to bury the bone in the doggy bed, which wasn't cooperating. She gave up and decided to just eat the darn thing.<br />
<br />

This July 30th will mark the 15th anniversary, or would have been, of John and I's marriage. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We planned a week long trip that was a few things rolled into one: vacation and wedding. We took my 12 y/o daughter with us, of course. All 3 of us loaded up in my little 2-door Chevy Cavalier for a week of fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our main stop was in Laughlin, Nevada. For the gambling, and for the wedding. We had friends meet us there, very very good friends, to attend our wedding. His best friend in the world, David, was his best man. My daughter was my maid of honor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We stayed at the Colorado Belle, a casino designed to look like a riverboat that sat right on the Colorado River. I researched ahead of time and snagged some rooms cheap. As well as, applying for marriage license early to marry across the river in Bullhead City, Arizona. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So while on this trip, I snagged a picture of that same casino as I was driving by, sent it to my daughter. </div>

I wished I could have stopped there, but this trip was very hectic. It didn't feel right for a hula doll planting. I'd rather go on my own, in my own way. And not by flying there, but by driving. That is more meaningful for me.</div>

Well anyway, here's a few pics of this recent stay in Laughlin, Nevada.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pics are of the villa at the Golden Nugget they put us in. Couldn't have had any better weather!! Gorgeous high 70's, light breeze. And this villa sat right on the Colorado River. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Three bedroom, 3 1/2 bathrooms, private high walled gates right next to the casino. This is where they put the famous people that come to town to perform for the casino.</div>

<br />
I got the chance to go on a trip to Vegas. No cost to me, came up at the last minute. My sister's father-in-law had a trip planned, and his son was not able to go. So he asked if I wanted to go. Since I wasn't working, I said sure!! Free trip to Vegas?? uhhh... yeah!<br />
<br />
Lemme tell you what... That man must have been going for a looooong time to get this kind of treatment!! <br />
<br />
The purpose of the trip was a golf tournament in Laughlin, Nevada. So, we flew to Vegas, limmo picked us up, stayed 2 nights there in the Penthouse Suite on the top floor of the Golden Nugget, hopped in the limmo again for an hour and half drive to Laughlin, which they put us in the Villa of the Golden Nugget for 2 days (one of which was the golf tourney), then limo back to Vegas and in the Penthouse Suite again for the night, then limo back to the airport the next day.<br />
<br />
I snagged a few pics... This is how the other half lives....<br />

Had a blast!! My companion was a joy to be around. Always happy and smiling, and everyone loves him there. People knew his name wherever we went and some rushed up to him for big hugs. It's apparent this place was his second home, haha. He played a lot of blackjack and I got to learn it pretty well. I think I came away a few hundred in my pocket.</div>

<br />
My RV sister is having to go to south Texas for a business luncheon, taking my other sister who works for her with her. For this trip, she traded for a Class B RV that they are taking for this trip. So my mom and I are going to go, also.<br />
<br />
While on this trip, mom will get to visit with her sister's in Rockport, Texas. Mom and I will stay in Rockport a few days while my other two sisters are doing their business thing.<br />
<br />
After their business luncheon, they will pick us up and we will head to little sister's place near San Antonio for a few days. <br />
<br />
Here is the rig we're taking, along with a few pics of the inside:<br />

The thing is pretty roomy inside for a Class B. Three seperate sleeping areas, and full bathroom. The dinette slides out giving it an open feel. I like it. :) Hope Van Halen doesn't get too jealous, haha!!<br />

<br />
The first day driving, I decided to take I-40 as the roads were clear and dry. It had been snowing and such here, along with the melting and then freezing and icy conditions, I just thought the interstate was my best bet.<br />
<br />
So me and Chevy took off about 5:45am that Monday morning, all geared and raring to go. I-40 is pretty boring, for the most part, but we did good, driving about 14 hours that day. Stopping to gas up or pee (both of us) and eat occasionally.<br />
<br />
Since I had missed my turn off at Santa Rosa, NM to go south toward I-10 towards milder weather and terrain, I decided to just keep to I-40 since the roads were still pretty good. That is... until I hit Flagstaff.. :(<br />
<br />
It was getting dark and the elevation was a lot higher, and wouldn't you know it, it started snowing on me. Like, a lot. Ten miles from Flagstaff I am doing about 40 mph on the highway because I'm too afraid to go any faster due to poor visibility. So, we limp it in to Flagstaff. After a McDonald's salad run, I find a Walmart and decide to call it a night.<br />
<br />
The next morning I was to head south towards Phoenix and then west on I-10 towards Quartzsite. This is the scenery that greets me while heading out.<br />

So we get there okay. Right away, I have no idea where to go, or park, or anything. But... Tony to the rescue!! This is Tony, of Tony and Karen, who I had met previously when they came through my town and got the pleasure of visiting while on their Route 66 tour.</div>

So no sooner was I confused about where to park then there was Tony right there saying I could park by them. (Thank you Tony and Karen!!) Here is Van Halen's spot.</div>

Lots of people attended, lots of awesome people, I might add. Everyone was so very nice!! That's one thing I have always said about campers, campers are the most friendly people around. And this was true of this event, as well.<br />
<br />
There were seminars every day, sometimes two. We met at the central location, here is a quick pic of one of them going on.<br />

<br />
You could attend or not, didn't matter. I hit most of them, missed a few. Learned a lot. Lots of information. There was usually a bonfire there every night, which was cool, lots of hanging out and meeting and visiting. Some had their own campfires, that was cool, as well. <br />
<br />
One of the seminars, I made this:<br />

Simple and functional. It worked for me, anyways. <br />
<br />
I was there for two weeks before I headed back. Made lots of friends. Had a great time. Plan on going again next year. :)<br />

<br />
See, the place where I went, Quartzsite, Arizona, was only about 20 miles from Blythe, California, where John grew up.<br />
<br />
Perfect!!<br />
<br />
I had talked to his sister, Lisa, before leaving and had a pretty good clue as to where their house was. See, years before, on our wedding/vacation trip in 2001, we had went there. He had shown me their former home, and actually visited his neighbor lady that still lived next door. <br />
<br />
"Yes, I remember little John." she had said. <br />
<br />
"That's me, I am little John." he tried to tell her.<br />
<br />
But no, she was adamant, he was a little boy that lived next door. He couldn't convince her that he was all grown up and standing before her. I remember her house because it sat at the end of the street and was set at a diagonal to the road, and his house was next door. <br />
<br />
Lisa, his sister, had told me at the other end of the road, by the main road, was a bar that their dad sometimes took them to, so look for that. The Horny Toad Saloon. That's right folks, that's it's name. Don't judge.<br />
<br />
So, it took going down three roads and trying to back this back butt van out of some dead end streets, but I did finally find the house. :D Only.... They had chain link fence around the entire house, so I was a little afraid of going on to the property to plant the doll. <br />

<br />
<br />
Yep.. that's right.. I planted the doll at the bar John's dad used to take his kids to at the end of the street where their house was located. Hey, it's a public place, someone might find it, right? <br />
<br />
It was still kind of early in the day, so there wasn't anyone around. I left it by the front door. I hope someone found it. :)<br />

<br />
The gathering, or RTR as it's known, was awesome! Met many new people, all great people. I've never been around a group of people so accepting of everyone else in my life. <br />
<br />
There were big diesel pushers all the way down to small cars, no one was shunned for what they showed up in. Thank goodness, haha. After viewing some of the rigs, I was feeling a bit shamed for my poor set up. But no, everyone was just happy to see everyone else there.<br />
<br />
So my idea for the HulaJohn planting was to put her at the donation tarp. The donation tarp is set up so that anyone that doesn't need something can donate it, and anyone that could use it could take it, free of charge. That was my intention. <br />
<br />
However, when I had mentioned this to my new friends, Diane and Beth, Diane jumped on it. "I want it!! I call dibs!!" lol. So, I thought... Cool!! Someone that wants it and would use it for it's intended purpose. I did not have the doll on me at that time, was planning on getting it to her later. This is where things go funny. :)<br />
<br />
Let me set this scene: In between me finding out Miss Diane wanted the doll and me getting it to her, an unfortunate incident occurred. I wouldn't put it on here unless she had already publicly told us about it. (Diane, if you read this and want me to remove it, I will!). I won't go in to all the details, but lets just say, there was a bonfire and lots of fun and a mix up while she was trying to get back to her rig. Someone's light had not worked that night and she got confused about where she was and a tumble into a wash had occurred. Along with other mishaps I will not mention. <br />
<br />
So, in my smartass-ed self thinking mode... when I did find her the next night, I decided to give her the doll. She was very happy to receive it! But then, bwahahaha... I asked her if she'd also like this... then slyly pulled out a flashlight. :D I wasn't sure how she'd take it, but she died laughing. So all is good!! <br />
<br />
And that is where my HulaJohn got planted for the state of Arizona! :)Pamela B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03189282330454375928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585921873560945454.post-21283671237151354942015-11-23T04:36:00.000-08:002015-11-23T04:36:16.481-08:00Planning January TripI know it's only November, but I am already planning my upcoming trip to Arizona this next January. :)<br />
<br />
-The place: Near Quartzite, Arizona<br />
<br />
-The reason: Annual gathering of people for the Rubber Tramp Rendezvous<br />
<br />
-The purpose: To attend the seminars, meet the many wonderful people I have gotten to know, check out the desert<br />
<br />
-The stay: About two weeks boondocking in the desert<br />
<br />
-The companion: My co-pilot, Chevy, as far as I know (although my mom has threatened to go)<br />
<br />
-The route: Will take the more southern route along Highway 10 to avoid more of the nastier weather that may appear on Interstate 40<br />
<br />
-The miles: About 1140 miles one way. Plus driving in between to nearby towns for supplies. Will be splitting this into a few days to get there and back.<br />
<br />
-The Hula planting: I know for sure one will be planted in nearby Blythe, California. This is the town John lived in up until 6th grade. We went through there in 2001 and he showed me his house and the town and told me his growing up memories. With the help of his sister, I am planting one in that town. For Arizona, not sure yet. But I will be planting one on this trip, I am hoping a spot just inspires me.<br />

<br /><br />
Was at a new school, in the small rural town of Erick, Oklahoma. We had just moved there, I was a junior in high school at that time. I realize now that it was not a big deal, being a small town, but I was new there and very nervous about fitting in.<br />
<br /><br />
I had and English class assignment to write a story. Well.. my brain took over, haha. That's all I got to say. I got creative, haha. I handed in my assignment.<br />
<br /><br />
The day came for the teacher, Mrs. Reynolds, to talk about the stories she read. She got in front of the class and decided to read one she found pretty good. And OMG, wouldn't you know it, she was reading mine!! I could have crawled into a hole in the floor if there was one. <br />
<br /><br />
I sat there, frozen in embarrassment, listening to her read to my fellow classmates my story. So worried about how they would react to it, stupid worry.<br />
<br /><br />
Thank you, Mrs. Reynolds, for never disclosing the source of the story. :) Here is a gist of what I wrote to the best of my knowledge:<br />
<br /><br />
"I am here, sitting in the dark. Alone. Scared. <br />
<br /><br />
I see no light, I have no way of moving. <br />
<br /><br />
Suddenly, a small dot of light comes on. I can see it, through the murky water. <br />
<br /><br />
There is an eye peering down on me. Looking at me. Judging me. I don't like it here. This eye is still staring down on me. <br />
<br /><br />
Again, I am left alone. In the dark. <br />
<br /><br />
All of a sudden I see a bottle above me with the words 'D R A I N O" on it. (I did mis-spell this in junior high, lol)<br />
<br /><br />
Some thick stuff comes splashing down upon me, weird stuff. And then.. I start moving.<br />
<br /><br />
WHOOSH!!!! I start descending downwards, like a kid on a waterslide, down, down, down.<br />
<br /><br />
I am free!!!!!! Weeeee!!!!<br />
<br /><br />
I am hair ball."<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Yeah.. such was my brain in high school.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />

<br />
Got the call today, finally, the tranny is busted. Yee. But, it will get fixed and get me off to see places again. Oh, and they said the dying problem it had when putting it into reverse is caused by the tranny locking up when trying to go into gear. So this fix with take care of that is well.<br />
<br />
I'll be a little poorer, but that's life. Ready to get that beast back and finish redoing/rearranging the inside. Saw this pic earlier today, liked it, it's fitting....<br />

<br />
It did a few things that made me nervous. A big rev up in first or second gear, then jerking when it got into gear. I was told that is the tranny slipping. Not cool. As she is still drive-able now, went ahead and made an appointment to a guy both my dad and uncle liked and trusted with their transmissions. They both have been working on cars all their life, so if they trust him, I'll trust him.<br />
<br />
Will probably need tranny rebuild. Ugh. Not $$ cool. But, better than being stranded on the road later on, miles from home. Has got to be done if I want to keep taking her places. Here is a good reason right here:<br />

<br />
If you want to see places like this, you must keep the Van on the road!! :)<br />
<br />
While she's getting the tranny fixed, will also have the mechanic look into the dying putting it in reverse thing as well. <br />
<br />
After that, will have to figure out how to replace el fund-age, lol. That, and figure out where I'm heading next. There is the RTR (a gathering for like minded peeps) in Arizona in January I'll definitely be going to. But before that? Who knows. Depends on how much $$ is left over. Maybe a little trip early November, so I'll be around come Thanksgiving. Can't give up that turkey, yo! :)<br />

<br />
First time in my life I've had one. :)<br />
<br />
So now you're thinking "Where is she going now?" right? Haha! I wish!! I might use it in a few months to visit Mexico for a day, but otherwise, there is no country that I'm planning on hitting soon.<br />

Then again, I keep hearing how you'll be needing these to fly in the next few years, some states already requiring it.

We actually slept in a hogan. I didn't know what that was until I saw it. The man that runs the campground gave us the background on it, his uncle built it, and lived in it, raised 11 children in it. It is made of logs and dirt. He, Howard, built two smaller ones at the campground. The logs were fashioned in a hexagon type of structure and was filled in with dirt. Dirt floor, as well. The temperature inside was always pleasant, even through the hot hours of the day and the cold temps at night. Here are some pics:<br />

Interesting, huh? I got the twin bed, slept pretty good. Tim got the bigger bed, it was hard, he said his back hurt less, go figure. Nathan chose to put up his tent and slept in that. </div>

The next day, the doggies had to stay inside the Hogan (prounounced Ho-Gan according to Howard) while we went on a tour of Spider Rock. Tim made sure Howard would be our tour guide, lol. What can we say, we liked the old coot.</div>

They called this the 'White House'.. you can barely see the white part back there. There were many ruins on the side of the rock, many footholds and lots of pictographs, as well. Very interesting.<br />

These last pictures are at Dead Horse Point... Way back when, someone decided to coral the horses there, but forgot to get them water, they all died. The Colorado river can be seen, the view is breathtaking. I feel bad for the horses, though. It was also the scene where Thelma and Louise found 'the Grand Canyon', so says Wikipedia.<br />

After we left Moab, Utah, we headed south towards Chinle, Arizona. Will post about that next. :)Pamela B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03189282330454375928noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585921873560945454.post-15552313353519851842015-09-23T04:06:00.000-07:002015-09-23T04:06:13.937-07:00Some Pictures Around Zion National ParkHave pictures from my phone, camera and tablet to wade through. There are many!! <br />
<br />
Very thankful for the ones that had information plaques near them, or I might have forgotten many of the places these pictures were captured.<br />
<br />
Utah was sure a beauty to see. Think I will just post some and hope I can remember where they came from. :)<br />

North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It was close enough to Zion to head over on one of our days. Had seen it from the south side a few times in my life, first time seeing the north side. Breathtaking, always!!! <br />

Some pictographs we saw when moving between Zion area and Torrey, Utah. The lowest picture you can probably see them better if you click on that picture and make it bigger. The pictographs are pretty much in the middle of the picture.<br />
<br />
Next up will be pictures of around the Torrey and Moab areas. 'Til next time! :)Pamela B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03189282330454375928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585921873560945454.post-21680450676647911842015-09-11T14:09:00.002-07:002015-09-23T03:39:21.023-07:00Pics from New MexicoRight now I am in Utah taking a much needed break.<br />
<br />
Me and the doggies are chilling at the campsite here in Torrey. Decided to not hit the road with the others and do some much needed recharging.<br />
<br />
The doggies are on a running leash between two trees with plenty of water and food. Its so nice in the shade I drug out an air mattress and join them. I am attempting this on my phone, so bear with me.<br />

<br />
I am reminding myself to take my camera, and take it out!! And use it!! :)<br />
<br />
Really just driving through New Mexico, but there are points of interest along the way. Most of the time will be spent in Utah. Doing it differently this time... sadly, Van Halen stays home. I am hitching a ride. Will be different to let someone else drive it all. Not sure if this will be good or bad, lol. <br />
<br />
Place in Utah we're aiming is near Zion National Park, the area around Torrey, and Moab. The others are gonna be riding their motorcycles, I'll be driving the big truck, taking the doggies. We will either follow them or find some other places I want to check to go see that day.<br />
<br />
At night, we are going to be camping out of the cargo trailer that the motorcycles will be hauled up there in. Man!! There's a LOT of crap to load up. And we will be unloading and reloading at all 3 points of interest. I have a feeling it will get old fast, but we will see. <br />
<br />
Sure wish Van Halen had a badass motor that could also pull this trailer, cause everything needed was already in there, ready to go. Now I'm having to steal stuff from her.. *sniff sniff* to pack up on the trip. <br />
<br />
But hey!! can't wait to see that beautiful scenery and get to camp out. :D Should be fun!!! :)Pamela B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03189282330454375928noreply@blogger.com0
