Flexible is Not My Second Nature ~

Being Flexible 

is such a new thing to me

and so today 

I am patting myself on the back 

for not 

But just going with the flow

and making lemonade out of 

As most of you know we were supposed to move out to 

GUMI Camp USA

on Sunday

but due to black ice

we decided to stay put here at

Branson View Campground.

The weather has been crazy here in Branson

and so with a nice clear, sunny day we decided thatT

today would be a great day to move out to

GUMI Camp USA

The day for us started last night just before midnight

when we headed to bed and much to our 

surprise we found 

Well not water like this but 

squishy, spongy, bubbling water on both sides of our bed.

Yep, you guessed it we had a leak ~~~

so not fun at midnight on a cold night

but being the trooper that Ron is

we stripped the bed, put everything in the living room 

and leaned our mattress against the kitchen sink,

then Ron headed to the garage

and got the shop vac and proceeded to suck up the water 

from the floor and under our bed.

You see the water pump for our holding tank is under our bed

and the connector from the pump to the hose was not connected properly

so water bubbled out and oh the mess it made.

But Super Plumber Ron to the rescue, sucked up the water, fixed the pump

and had our bed all put back together by 1:45 am and we were back in bed 

at 2 AM...just a bump in the road right....

...well we had our plans for the day but things did not go as planned,

first had to address some paperwork issues,

talked with Darrell & Patty...so glad they stopped by to see us

did the laundry from the mess of the water pump leak...

readied the inside of the motor home,

removed the outside covers and tried to start the motor home.

The operative word is TRIED to start the motor home.

Dead battery!!!!

so we put the battery charger on,

jumped the motor home with the Jeep,

or should I say we tried to jump the motor home with the Jeep

Nope!!!

So now it is close to 3 PM

we decide to go to Walmart to buy a batter,

as we were driving we decided it was going to be too late

and too dark to drive out to GUMI this afternoon

But no, we had a 

and decided it would be better to go out and feed the critters

then go to Walmart to buy the battery

and then go back to the motor home

and just start fresh in the morning.

We got out to GUMI and realized the

were back at the motor home.

UGH....

so Ron watered the critters

and gave the cows some hay

and then we headed back to town and Walmart

Bought the new battery

and headed back to the motor home

and bam my head feels like its going to 

Once we got home

I took some ibuprofen

and heated up leftover

and about 45 minutes later I began to feel a little better.

All during the day I had been texting with friends 

about what was going on 

and I was reminded by Dee that

and that HE is in control

not little ole' me!!!

And you know what, 

I am truly enjoying the quiet in the motor home,

the glow of a fire in our little fireplace

and enjoying being with my sweet hubby.

So when things don't go quite the way you want them to go,

remember

and even though we may never know why

things didn't go as we had planned

we know it is going according to 

God's Plan!!! 

Talk to y'all soon!!!
