| January, 2008 News Brrrr! It's cold and yucky outside; perfect weather for thinking about camping trips. We did get to spend the night in the camper New Year's Eve, and hopefully we'll take it up to PA for a quick ski trip next weekend if it's cold enough. Here's what we've been up to lately: Camping: The girls' Spring Break is the week after Easter, so we are planning to run down to the Florida Keys to our favorite tropical campground: The Fiesta Key KOA. We will be in site #181, so stop by and say "hi" if you are in the area! Downsizing: After reading The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, we are committed to downsizing even further. After all, how can we allow wealth into our lives if we don't make room for it, right? So when I received the eBay email about discounted listing fees (one day only!), I grabbed a few things that I have been meaning to sell for a while and listed them (for your info, my eBay handle is campingrvnut). I only listed a couple of things, but after the New Year's Eve rush to the Lutheran Mission to donate a few last items (a little more off my taxes!), I just didn't have the energy to list anything else. Rich has even made the first real effort to get rid of his tools. I'm sure he'll take a big loss on them, but he just doesn't have the time to work out, work, and play woodworking. Most importantly, we don't want to pay a ton of money to store and move something that he uses so little. Hopefully his sacrifice will make some woodworker very happy! Finances: The savings thermometer is a little static right now; we are only a little closer to our goal amount because of Christmas expenses and an investment in another website related to something near and dear to my heart: nutrition and fitness. We are seriously getting the bug to buy a bigger camper. Gosh knows we won't get ahead any faster if we do it now, so we are going to completely avoid Lazy Days like the plague. I just hope we don't need to take the Tioga in for any repairs while we're in Florida, or we may be cruising home in that Class A diesel pusher we've had our eye on for the last year.... |
