Polar Bear Attack
in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada
These are photographs of an actual
polar bear attacking a man.
The pictures were taken while people
watched and could do nothing to stop the attack!
Reports from the
local newspaper say that the victim will make a full
recovery.
The photos are
below.
May your troubles
always be smaller than your imagination..
ONE DAY CLOSER TO OUR DREAM
It’s Christmas day and when you work for a church it’s a work day,so that’s where I’m headed this morning.
Angela and I don’t usually get anything for each other unless it’s something for our dream. Well I guess you can say this is for our dream. Angela likes to read a lot and I mean A LOT she can read a book a week or faster.
So when we hit the road I thought getting her the Kindle Fire would be the only book we would have to lug around. She can also get her e-mail,face book and movies on it.
This after noon we will head over to the daughter’s and grandkids house for the Christmas dinner.
The temps are going to be hitting around 50 and sunny today so it will be a great day.
Angela and I and the two hounds want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy RVing New Years!!!!!

ONE DAY CLOSER TO OUR DREAM
Another slow week here in the hood.
Angela did get some painting done but needed to take a break. We have had good weather for this time of year but I’m sure the bottom will fall out of it soon. Last Christmas we had a blizzard going on.
Yesterday we needed to take the Dodge diesel out for a drive since it has just been sitting. Took a drive up I-29 to Platte city, MO about 10 miles north of our house. We wanted to check out the RV park we will move to when we sell the house.
We stopped at Basswood Resort RV park http://www.basswoodresort.com/
We wanted to ask about the extended stay rates which is not to bad for $425 per month and comes with cable. Talking to the manger we were wondering about Angela workamping while I still worked at the church and she said yes they hire about 15 couples and she could some hours for the spot and the rest for pay. That would be great that way she can learn all about the different jobs in a campground. The manager and her husband have been fulltime for 6 years and love it.
Also yesterday I was at my local COSTCO buying a large bag of
Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Annie, the Wonder Dog and was
in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a
dog.
What did she think I had an elephant? So because
I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her
that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet
again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in
the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I
awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most
of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was
essentially a Perfect Diet and that the way that it works is, to
load your pants pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or
two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete
so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to
mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled
with my story.)
Horrified, she asked if I ended up in
intensive care, because the dog food poisoned me. I told her
No, I stepped off a curb to sniff a poodle's ass and a car hit
me.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart
attack he was Laughing so hard.
Costco won't let me shop
there anymore.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time
in the World to think of crazy things to say.

Not much to report,another slow week here in the hood. We did get some more painting done around the house.
Saturday the weather was nice so we unloaded all the stuff from the motor home and started putting things in the 5th wheel.
You can never start to soon getting ready,the time will be here before we know it.
Anyone interested in buying a nice 1988 Tioga class C motor home?

Dead Penguins , I never knew this!
Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica – ???
Where do they go?
Wonder no more ! ! !
It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life.
The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintaining a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life. If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes
In the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:
"Freeze a jolly good fellow"
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
Then they kick him in the ice hole.
You really didn't believe that I know anything about penguins, did you?
It's so easy to fool OLD people.
I am sorry, the devil made me do it!!!
I fell for it too.
ONE DAY CLOSER TO OUR DREAM
Winter is not far off,it’s been cloudy cold and wet this weekend.
I think we both have SAD Seasonal affective disorder because we did nothing no painting no house repair all weekend. We just had no get up and go to get anything done.
All we did was sit and watch old western movies all day Saturday. Now its Sunday morning and time to go back to work for another week.
I have a feeling this is going to be a long boring winter, we sure hope the house sells fast this spring.
ONE DAY CLOSER TO OUR DREAM
What a Beautiful Day:
My face in the mirror
Isn't wrinkled or drawn.
My house isn't dirty.
The cobwebs are gone.
My garden looks lovely
And so does my lawn.
I think I might never
Put my glasses back on
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN,
and the youngest you will ever be again... enjoy it
Observations On Growing Older
~Your Kids are becoming you...and you don't like them...but your grandchildren are Perfect!
~Going Out is good… Coming Home is better!
~You Forget names ... But it's OK because other people forgot they Even knew you!!!
~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything ...
Especially Golf.
~Your spouse is counting on you to remember things you don't remember.
~The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore.
~Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than he does in bed. It's Called "Pre-sleep".
~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" Switch…
~You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?" ... "when?"... ???
~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.
~You notice everything sold in stores is "sleeveless" !!!!
~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
~Everybody Whispers.
~Now that your husband has retired ... You'd give anything if he'd find a job!
~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet ... 2 of which you will never wear.
~~~But Old is good in some things: Old songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!
It's Not What You Gather,
But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived!

WE had Thanksgiving dinner at home with our kids and grandkids. After we stuffed our self’s and it was so nice outside we sat out front to enjoy the weather while it is still here,it won’t belong and it will be real cold here.
Riley dressed up in his uncle Blake’s dirt bike gear.
Son Blake and Angela
Daughter Jessica and SIL Steve and granddaughter Savannah .
After the feast and a day off it was back to painting and planning for our future .
I have been doing a lot of reading on different web sites about the fulltime life and I know I tend to over think a lot of things and it is starting to wearing my brain out,not that it wasn't already worn a little. I know these question everyone has seen or thought about and no one answer is for everybody, if you have a comment please leave it.
1. Domicile Texas or South Dakota?
2. Health Ins?
3. Should we buy a extended warranty on the truck and trailer?
4. Cell phone ATT,Sprint or Verizon?
5. Inter Net?
6. Truck and Trailer insurance? Do they offer a full replacement type of insurance
7. Do most of you have a exit plan?
These are just some of the many question I have.
ONE DAY CLOSER TO OUR DREAM
Angela and I hope you all have a good Thanksgiving, weather your with family or friends or just each other.
Sorry I couldn’t help my self……

Friday we need to get out of the house for a while from all the painting and fixing and all the planning, after all we have till spring to get it all done. But of course we want it all done right now!!
After living here in Kansas City all our life and never been to, we went to see the National WWI Museum in downtown KC.
http://www.theworldwar.org/s/110/new/index_community.aspx
After spending about tow hours in the under ground museum and seeing so many WWI artifacts.
We then went up in the 217 foot tower overlooking downtown and man was it windy on the top,blowing about 40mph.
Looking down on Union Station, the old train station.
After that we went for a late lunch to the city’s market,as we drove thru downtown looking for a taco truck and didn’t see one we settled for. Burrito Brothers
We had a good day and it was good to get out in the sunshine.
Saturday it was back to work tearing out the rest of the carpet. Do you know what’s under all that old carpet it’s gross, we will never put carpet back in the 5th wheel when it’s time to change it.
I’m back to work Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,and off Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday.

Marriage or Relationship.
If you want someone who will eat whatever you put in front of him and never say it's not quite as good as his mother's...
then adopt a dog.
If you want someone always willing to go out, at any hour,
for as long and wherever you want...
then adopt a dog.
If you want someone who will never touch the remote, doesn't care about football, and can sit next to you as you watch romantic movies...
then adopt a dog.
If you want someone who is content to get on your bed, just to warm your feet and whom you can push off, if he snores...
then adopt a dog.
If you want someone who never criticizes what you do, doesn't care if you are pretty or ugly, fat or thin, young or old, who acts as if every word you say is especially worthy of listening to, and loves you unconditionally, perpetually...
then adopt a dog.
BUT, on the other hand, if you want someone who will never come when you call, ignores you totally when you come home, leaves hair all over the place, walks all over you, runs around all night and only comes home to eat and sleep, and acts as if your entire existence is solely to ensure his happiness...
..then adopt a cat!
You thought I was going to say... marry a man, didn't you?
ONE DAY CLOSER TO OUR DREAM
After last weeks BIG BIG SURPRISE this week has been just the opposite nothing much going on. We sure do love the 5th wheel and find our self's sitting in it and talking about where to put things and what to take and what to get rid of.
We are putting the house up for sale this spring,so Saturday I started painting the ceiling’s and Angela is working on pulling up all the carpet,that took up most of the day.
I woke up Sunday morning at 5am to go to work and felt like I had been in a car wreck I was so sore. (out of shape) We (she) have a lot of painting to get done this winter. I guess when we (she) gets tired of painting she can look out the window at the 5th wheel and see why she is painting.
The boss (Angela) has made a rule that NO ONE can wear shoe’s in the 5th wheel. Guess we will see how long that last.. Yes dear I will take my shoe’s off. Some of you wanted to see picture’s of the inside of the 5th wheel.
I’m out of room so I park the truck next door at my buddies house.
