Seems like I can't get away from workin' on houses!
First thing I've been doin' each day is haulin' Heidi to whichever Bead Show She'll be workin' that day... then I've been comin' back here... to this, my Mothers' house... and doin' maintenance chores on it.
Just serves to drive home the fact that my preference is for a house that has wheels on it! :-)
Got up today... and it's rainin'... aw well... as long as it ain't snow... I'm good. And this is one of those soft, steady... all day rains that makes a cowboy or farmer just smile... It's the sort of a rain that makes the air crisp and clean... scented with mesquite and creosote bush...
It' the kind of rain that grows the grass and has you sortin' fat calves come the fall...
For all you Northerners, parked in the Arizona Desert for the winter... all the rain that has been washin' your rigs this winter, is gonna make for one flowered up Desert Oasis come spring...
I'd start huntin' the locations of the best Desert flower displays down here for your spring photo trips... The Arizona Desert is gonna be bloomin' this year! ... it's one of the "Why's" of RV Boondocking!
So far... no ambushes on that 'Old' house... and... we pass the last 'Big Deadline'... Monday...
I'm feelin' like my stubborn ways are finally payin' off...
Though... there's a few things I should have been less stubborn about. :-) How-some-ever... seein' as that's spilt milk, and I can't put it back in the bottle... no use worryin' on it...
But... then again... We watched a movie last night... 'bout a fella (true story) that is afflicted with tourettes (sp?) syndrome... in the end... he says that who he is... he can almost thank the 'disability' for...that IT was his greatest teacher!!!
Some might not understand such a claim... I can say I do... 'cause if it weren't for all the things I've endured over the years... and all the dumb judgments I've made... I'd for sure and for certain... NOT... be the fella I am... and different as "he" is... I kind of like him! :-)
My point? Haven't you ever heard the Old sayin'; "Failures are just opportunities to learn"?
Well... according to that rule... this hyar buster has a PHD! ... 'course... some refer to that as P-iled H-igher... and D-eeper! :-)
Now... I'm not gonna climb up on my soap box... and claim that "My way is the right way... and the ONLY way"... any fool knows that ain't true...
BUT... always with the "buts" :-) .... I will say... my way is a dang good way... and will fit a whole lot of people... at least... if they tinker with it... shave off the bumps that don't quite fit them... and weld on any parts that seem to be missing... to make it, Your Way.
Just... keep on keepin' on... that is the most important... Don't EVER let the buzzards get your goat... Don't EVER allow anything, to bury your Dreams... Not Anything!
Take Good Care

Brian,
What a great post! I think a lot of people feel the same way but sometimes it is very important to see someone remind you that holding onto your dreams is sometimes not a passive activity.
We really enjoy it when you get on that 'ol soapbox. Don't ever put it away!
:-)and sometimes... it makes an Ol',bald headed, speechafyin', bike ridin', geezer feel pretty fine when somebody takes notice... and tells him he's doin' a good job! :-) Many Thanks!
