Total Eclipse of My Heart

By
Well, our push to get to Nashville for the eclipse worked out perfectly. We were here and settled in and ready to go on Monday. The weather called for partly cloudy skies so we weren't sure how successful we were going to be. All the way across the country Rusty and I saw signs about traffic and how crazy it was predicted to be on the road so we decided that we would stay in one place and hope for the best. It was partly cloudy which made it cooler than it would have been otherwise, but as it got closer and closer to the full eclipse and clouds blocked the sun we thought we were going to miss it, then at just at the right time, out popped the sun from behind the clouds and we got the full effect.  We even got to see shadow bands! The only thing we missed was seeing the horizon look like sunset.

Enjoy!

The Five Words You've All Been Wondering if I'll Say

By
It happened the morning we were getting ready to leave Glenwood Canyon.  It had been an emotional week. We were doing all the things we did with my dad. Even Rusty got misty eyed at one of my dad's favorite restaurants. But the thing that I stupidly didn't realize was that we were there on my dad's birthday. He would have been 85. That hit me pretty hard but I guess I didn't realize it until we were getting ready to leave. Don't get me wrong, I love Glenwood Canyon. It's one of the most amazing places and it's no surprise why my dad loved living there. Between all the emotions and the fact that I woke up the morning we were leaving to a tweaked back, I think it was just too much. Rusty had gotten up to prep the sewer and, water and electrical outside and I was working on prepping the inside. Making the bed is a contortionist's nightmare without a tweaked back to say the least but I got it made. Then I start to notice blood on the floor. I figure the dog...

First Driving Lesson

By
Yep, that's me behind the wheel. Rusty and I found this great service road about a mile long next to an organic farm. He had me practice figuring out where my back rear tires were, straight backing up, three point turns, and whipping a u turn. I even parked it in our camping spot! Needless to say I was very nervous to start with but after a while I was feeling pretty good, although it's really hard to figure out where your back right tire is. Of course, driving it down the highway will be totally different! I'm really glad that we got a smaller RV. Some of them are HUGE. I can't imagine driving them down the road... xoxo Julie
