WELL, I won’t say I know where the keys to the kingdom are, but I would say that I’m a life-long learner!
I’m keen on learning all that I can, and still take classes if something strikes my fancy. Sure, they are usually online, the last class being how to polish rocks, but I’d like to go back and finish my class on becoming a transcriptionist.
Problem is, I packed up all of my equipment and it’s in the storage. I think I’ll wait and see if we have room once we update the bus interior.
Who knows when that will be, because the bus is still in the shop getting repairs done. Once we get it back, we will recruit one of our kids to help lay the new floors and maybe even remove the furniture.
Anyhow, back to knowledge, I am also an avid reader and love soaking up new things. Most of you know that every morning I read the Morning Brew newsletter and after the The Daily 1440 Digest. I read tons of blogs about RVing, from new places to go to repairs and updates you can do yourself.
I read all the blogs I follow and sometimes new ones, run down the rabbit holes some of them take me on, I click the links, and words I don’t know.
I’ve learned how to monetize my blog or become and affiliate marketer, yet never heeded any of that knowledge because deep down, I’m not a sales person.
My followers trust me and that is important. I don’t want to ruin that by trying to sell them something. I don’t even like the ads that are probably on my posts, and they don’t earn me a cent.
I love to craft and learning how to do new ones, I don’t know how to knit, but sometimes I crochet…maybe knitting would be easier!
One last thought, I could have done my post on my name-Kimberly-yet I don’t go by it, I like Kim. My proper name is too serious, like I’m in trouble or something! I get tagged with nicknames or pet names most of the time anyway.
Since there’s not much going on this cold, blustery day, I thought I’d highlight a couple of songs I like to hear once in a while.
I had to search for an “H” song and while I did that, I found an “I” song too. I’m behind again, so I have to highlight two letters through song.
”Hemorrhage (In my hands)” is a song by Fuel that i never get tired of hearing.
From YouTube
The next song is called “Inside Out” by Eve 6, a funky little tune I loved so much, I bought the cd way back when, and one of my kids took off with it…never to be seen again! Same goes for my Metallica Black cd.

Well, I don’t know whether they will play on your device, but they won’t show up on mine! 🤬
I had such lofty ideas for this post, but now I’m so tired and ready to be home, I can’t remember what I had in mind.
Its been blessedly uneventful, and mostly lovely weather and pretty ok traffic-wise. However, we did have storms to drive through before we got out of Florida, but they weren’t bad. The first night we spent near Tallahassee. It was a dump, but we had power and water.
Verbena?
I picked up that flower because we’d been seeing them all along the roadside. We walked the dogs and they came back in with burrs. 🤬 I pulled the last one out of Brandy’s muzzle today.
The next night we spent in Hattiesburg, MS and it was beautiful! It was our first KOA, down a very long, winding road away from the freeway noise. It had its own lake, ducks, supposedly alligators, and lots of bugs, lol. They wanted to be in your face, too. Must have been a mix of gnats and skeeters. The KOA said we were in Okatoma but the map said Seminary, MS, well I thought we were in Hattiesburg. I’m so confused, lol!
Heres a photo gallery as I’m too tired to post them separately.

I was quite upset that we bypassed Lucedale without stopping but Dave had not told me that we would, so I wasn’t able to make plans. I wanted to see my cousin and also visit the graves of my aunt and uncle that both passed away year before last. I got over it, because I couldn’t do anything about it at that point. I also didn’t post it on Facebook or call anyone to explain. I just left it alone.
Now we are in Baskom, at an RV park that is so new, it also looks like a dump. But it’s being built as we speak, so if we were to come back next year, it would be cool to see what it looks like.
Here’s us in our spot.
Part of the park from the dog park.
We have about three grueling hours (going through Dallas) and then we will be “home” at my brother’s house. We will probably beat him home, as he is in west Texas working all week.
I might get to say hi, and bye to Josh and Shari as they move back from San Antonio and change jobs to one in…Ohio!! I can’t believe he’s going back, but he won’t be close to his daughter. That might be for the best. She is now married to Ray, and they are one little happy family.
I’m anxious to see everyone, and I’ll have a month, but we also have VA appts and we will be rehabbing the bus, so we will do what we can. Right now, just being home will be good enough!
