I also have a suggestion for The Cottage.<br />In case you aren't able to "save" the motor portion of The Cottage, but you are somehow able to get it home, use it as "Your Cottage".<br />You have bathroom and sleeping facilities, use it for guests, people who need emergency accomodations, etc. Just a thought.<br /><br />Enjoy your vacation.<br />Lauren<br />By the way, I'm 50 and I get tired just reading about all that you do.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281968587172124027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423393748873987255.post-2738958189397990142009-09-24T07:28:56.087-07:002009-09-24T07:28:56.087-07:00You always have to find laughter in every situatio...You always have to find laughter in every situation. My mom has alzheimers and if my family and I did not find the humor in the everyday things that happen we would be bonkers and heartbroken everyday. So keep laughing and have a great time.

You were brave souls giving the RV a second chance but it just wasn't meant to be.<br /><br />You have already created great memories. I am sorry but I'm laughing as I comment. Your family will have many belly laughs over "this vacation"! Okay Sarah is asking me Mom- want are you laughing at? I am not laughing at anything - I am laughing with someone!!<br /><br />HAVE FUN_ I know you will- looking forward to hearing more on your adventure!!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00219821176198096628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423393748873987255.post-26979022403541068972009-09-23T20:34:10.489-07:002009-09-23T20:34:10.489-07:00So, we're following in your footsteps ... and ...So, we're following in your footsteps ... and conquering problems along the way, too.<br /><br />We left Co. Springs this morning. We were supposed to drive South to TX, but because of the weather (snow in September?) we headed East instead, through Kansas.<br /><br />About 20 miles before Hays (you were probably sleeping there) the tire on our trailer pretty much exploded. Seriously. As tire fragments flew all over the road, and I tried to pull off safely, the tire ripped apart the underside of our trailer ... bending metal, folding plastic, and ripping off the side of the cupboard under the sink. (When I looked under, there sat my detergent on the shelf.)<br /><br />We are supposed to be camping tonight ... but we finally limped our way into a hotel in Salina. <br /><br />God has us both on quite the adventure. I'm praying for you. Won't you pray for us, too?<br /><br />Laurel<br />mama of 13Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253303288242135440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423393748873987255.post-14908799305947726342009-09-23T19:34:21.418-07:002009-09-23T19:34:21.418-07:00I am sure there is a collective sigh of relief tha...I am sure there is a collective sigh of relief that you have decided start again with a new plan!

I showed him your post about the Rv when you first got it, and said maybe we should do the same thing, and trust God for a great deal later like you! Well, maybe God really doesn't want us to sell our camper, and this is His way of telling us! lol I'm sorry it has worked out this way for you guys so far.
