Today was the last day of our work week, but this weekend isn’t going to be fun and games as usual. Remember all that training Mark got to be an RV inspector? He’s been working on his final training and the next two days he has to do two premier mock inspections. We are going to be so busy I doubt I’ll have time to write, so this is a brief check in.

Mark was in class all day today and I thought it was going to be a quiet day in the RV for me. I’ve been trying to get a little walking in each day, so this morning I planned to take a ten minute walk around the park every hour to keep myself moving. While I was out walking I saw that our next door neighbor was walking too. I had never spoken to her before, but her husband had greeted us yesterday when we pulled in and I had seen her working around their RV, so I knew who she was. I greeted her as I was passing by this morning and she invited me to join her. Continue reading
We actually left Lafayette yesterday and arrived in Natchitoches last night. I enjoyed the scenery but I didn’t get any pictures. I still don’t have any pictures because Mark and I have been getting ready for the class we’re going to take here starting tomorrow morning. Continue reading
One of my readers today asked me if this business that Mark is preparing for will be one where we stay put or where we move about. My mom also asked that a week or so ago, so I guess there might be others wondering as well. Here is what I wrote in response: Continue reading
Mark and I continued today to check off things on our “to do” lists. I did a lot of backlogged paperwork today, along with renewing memberships and taking care of various things that are coming due soon. Continue reading
For the most part today, Mark and I stayed home and worked on various projects. A couple things happened to make this a good day. Continue reading
I didn’t get a chance to mention that all of us women were invited over to the Cooper’s RV yesterday afternoon for a “Kitchen class”. I had no idea what a kitchen class would be. They have a brand new Redwood and it’s very fancy but out of our price range. The kitchen class mostly consisted of showing off various features of the kitchen. Then one of the women changed the subject to questions she had about this week of training and things got a lot more interesting. I learned more from that discussion than I did from the class.

In the business class this morning, we went over making a business plan. I was so inspired that after class I drove to Walmart and got some supplies. Steve said it should look nice, with pictures that illustrate what we plan to do. I got a notebook, some page protectors, and some scrapbooking materials. I made the cover before lunch, the title page after lunch, and worked on a brief resume for Mark and me. Here are pictures: Continue reading
I have heard it said that if you waste time you can’t get it back. We learned something similar in class this morning, but I’ll get to that in a moment. Continue reading
