Summer in Virginia

Summer in Virginia

Our Parking Spot for the moment

We apologize that you haven't heard from us in a while. We've been super busy, but the main reason was because both of our computers died in the same week. So, it's been taking us some time to get back up and running. We're almost there.....I must say, it's nice to be back on the blog....even for a brief moment. We have a large land survey job that has just come up, so the next couple of weeks are going to be pretty hectic again.

We have been enjoying the summer here. I really missed these nice hot summers while I was in NY. And, I think it's been fairly mild so far which is nice. August is usually the hottest month, so I'm sure more hot weather awaits...Chad has been doing well with the heat, so that is good. I was a little concerned it might be too hot for him down here.

There's always much to do on a farm and this Spring/Summer this place has been a bee hive of activity. Last May, the dam broke on the pond and it has been getting repaired the past couple of months.

There have also been many other repairs to do. My dad has also been working on installing a bathroom into his barn, so the septic tanks were getting installed this past week.

And, we helped with getting up 220 hay bales when the field got cut.

We've also been doing some work on our vehicles. The heater core went out on our car last week, and Chad also did the body work that it needed to repair the hole in the bumper. And, this was in addition to our volunteer work. Never a dull moment....

All finished

My family has 8 outside cats as well....who we are grateful for because we really don't want any problems with mice. They're pretty funny and cute. Chad especially loves them.

Goodbye to New York

Our RV Life takes us back on the road again....back down to VA. We had a nice time in NY with family and friends, but we decided to head back to VA for a while. We arrived and are busy getting situated now. We brought all of Chad's mechanic tools down with us.

We wanted to share some pictures we took while in NY. When we left, Spring was in full bloom and everything was so green and beautiful.

Personalize Your Rig

Personalize Your Rig

It seems that most RVers name their rig. We have been taking time to come up with a name for ours, but we've finally decided on "The Old Battleship". Yes, our rig is old, and it is a powerful tool and seems to just keep on going. It steams along on the highway, just like a big battleship.

So....that being said, a fun, inexpensive way to personalize your rig or advertize your blog is by using stickers / decals. We recently ordered stickers with the name of our blog on it from makestickers.com. They have some different styles, including die-cut and you can preview the finished product before purchasing. You can also upload your own design, photo, or logo. They also print and ship within 24 hours so your stickers can reach you before you leave for your next destination.

Here are a couple more examples of what they can do.

Happy Rving! :-)

Goodbye to Virginia....for now

Well, we had a really nice time in VA. We escaped the rest of winter in NY, saw the beginning of Spring, got a lot of work accomplished, and enjoyed some warm weather. Now our RV life takes us back up to NY for work. But, we plan to come back to Virginia again soon.

Here are some pics from our time in VA.....

It was so nice that we skipped the end of winter in NY. but, even so, I think this is the happiest I've ever been to see Spring come. I can't even explain how great it was - I know all of our friends in NY understand...
