Before things completely fell apart…..
Graham and Liberty were snuggling in a seat, listening to worship music on his Ipod….Just absolutely love my kids being buddies….and no they had no clue that I was taking pictures……
He is drumming….(a drummer through and through)….
So when things fell apart….and after the RV had been repaired for the second time in just 5 miles (and six hours)…….we were debating our options (and praying like crazy)……”do we head to NY in the cottage?” or “do we turn around and go home?” or “do we go 100 miles back to Colorado Springs and get a rental car?” …..And. frankly, when life gets tough and you can’t figure out what to do…..candy makes it all better….. especially chocolate for this chick………
Gummy worms……
Lots and lots of gummy worms………..
True confessions: After the candy feast we decided to head to NY in the RV….Dw wanted to soooo bad and I wanted to make him happy. But everything inside me was screaming, “NOOOOOOO!” Dw said he turned as he was driving and looked at my face and he didn’t see fear – he saw sheer TERROR!

But everything inside me was screaming, “NOOOOOOO!” Dw said he turned as he was driving and looked at my face and he didn’t see fear – he saw sheer TERROR! Yes, it’s true, I became terrified of just what our short-lived beloved RV would do with 1500 miles in front of us….Heaven help us!! So when Dw turned to me, up the road about 8 miles (about the same place we broke down and had to be towed) and said, “Shouldn’t we just go back to the Springs and get a rental?” I jumped on it and more true confessions – It was one of the happier moments in my life….and for real……in that short amount of time, my hair coloring was no longer working…the gray was popping out all over the place (no joke!)….and guess what I’m going to buy? A box of Light Golden Brown to cover the RV, I mean, the gray. xo
MMmmmmm. Candy can help so much!! 🙂
I see your smarties are MUCH different than ours! In Canada, your smarties are called rockets, and are a bit smaller. Our smarties are like M&M's. Only better! 🙂
Is there an address where I can send your family some smarties? If you would like of course!
LOL You're so hilarious Linny!!
Mmmm wafer cookies. I've been craving those bad boys, but haven't bought them because I know my massive lack of self-control! 😉
Graham reminds me so much of my oldest stepson. Except I'm so thankful yours knows Jesus. 🙂
Candy makes every thing better I agree. I love how you can get through a really stressful situation with your sense of humor intact.I don't think I would have done such a great job. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Will not bother you again, but the invitation is still up for grabs to swing by.It would be our pleasure.
I'm sitting here chuckling again. Through it all you can still laugh and change the gray!!
Hugs and continue having a blast.
I love the candy fest! It may not be really great for you, but something about sugar is just fun- especially seeing your kids' pics!!! Too cute, and love the buddies:) Too precious. Pray for safety on the rest of your journey. You know out of the blog people I follow- 3 large/adoptive families in the last couple of weeks have had RV/camper issues on their trips. Yikes! No good- just happy all are safe!
Yes candy does help!! I love those sour gummy worms!!
The Rv was fun for awhile! So glad you are safe and sound in another vehicle.
I did share your adventure with hubby! Of course he had a great response! Started laughing all over again! Remember I'm laughing with you! Honestly it feels so good to laugh- it is good medicine! Sorry it took your RV to get me going!!
Hoping the grey goes away soon! You'd be cute with any color of hair!
Love the pics! The RV is an awesome idea BUT not a 26 yr old RV!
Hubby did say… "you know that RV was built in 1983" Which of course is making me laugh all over again- I better go!
