Oh, how I despise living in a deed-restricted subdivision. With no trip in the near future and the coach 10 miles across town in storage, I'm in withdrawal. I told my hubby that we are going to go get the moho this weekend and park it in the driveway so that I can sit inside and calm down.

If the HOA sends me a letter, I shall place it in File 13 and get on with my life. How I envy those of you who have complete access to your RV, there on your own property. Sigh.

Naw, that would cost too much...plus, the weekend shoppers might park too close and mess up my awning.

I stayed at WM's twice. My average cost to camp there was $275.00. Nobody parked to close, so awning wasn't an issue. The problem we had was that a lot of shoppers who wanted in on my barbecue ,and they thought my bar was open to the public. What nerve.

I hear that. I don't want to buy enough rotisserie chickens for half the town.

I think if given a choice you should come down south next winter. You won't have to thaw your water hose in the shower!!!

We don't get fined until the third letter. I like to live on the edge, so I always wait until after letter number two to shape up. I might leave my garbage cans out by the curb next week, just because.

I was really hoping the Houston Texans could have went to Superbowl this year . Seattle didn't make it this year either. But im super excited for next season
