Crochet Me Crazy

Our situation have really been wearing on me the past little while. I know its not the right way to be thinking so I am trying to work through my negativity. I have a strong desire to "stretch out" a little bit. So many things I'd like to do or work on but just aren't possible right now. It's almost been 8 months that we have been living in the RV. I think I can't live in this RV forever..or can I? I think of those people that were at the first RV park we were in. Those people and some with families will. What about the holocaust families that lived in tighter spaces than this? Can we ever afford land here? If not, why are we here? I don't want to put more pressure on Jeff than he already has so I'm going to work on keeping my complaining to a minimum and asking God to help me get myself straightened out.

Phillipians 4:11
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
Proverbs 15:15
All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

Christmas is fast approaching. Alison wanted to know if we would have a Christmas this year. I said yes, we are having Christmas one way or another. Jeff has started giving me money here and there to tuck away for Christmas presents for the kids and I've got some of my own money stashed away I saved from working this summer. I guess we'll have to have a tree outside....put the presents in storage and haul them over in the morning. Stockings hanging from the RV slide? Anyway, I guess I'll figure something out. It will be a Christmas to remember for sure!

Yesterday, we were supposed to go work with Princess with Mrs. Stable in the round pen but something came up and she had to go somewhere. We went over yesterday evening and caught Princess and Alison just walked around practicing with Princess walking and stopping with her and backing up. Princess did good. Sure love that beautiful horse...she's so smart and sweet.






Last night we went back to the park and picked up our fire wood that we had left there. Then, when I was washing dishes last night the tank filled up. I told Jeff I needed the tank drained so he went out to pull the plug. He came back in with a disappointed look on his face and said not to run the water for a little while. The handle has been broken and it had gotten pushed up inside too far and he couldn't pull it. He was going to have to crawl under there take the underside of the RV apart and fix it. I tried to talk him into waiting until this morning and telling them he'd be in a little late but he said "no". He crawled under there with his flashlight and fixed that last night in the dark for a few hours. Thank goodness, Mr. Skunk didn't come for a visit while he was under there! That little guy will sometimes walk right into our campsite while we are sitting there and we have to scare him away with flashlights.
