Back to Texas (July 2016)

My next assignment took us back to Texas, Corpus Christi to be exact. I took an assignment in a free standing ER, first time for everything! They pay was great for Texas and we wanted to head west so this was a start. We found a great RV park near Corpus Christi Lake, Wilderness Lakes RV Park. 

Our little set-up

a little visitor

The RV park was beautiful. Plenty of lot space, nice walking area, new salt water pool, lake for fishing or paddle boating. The Mathis, TX area was pretty farm land. 

 Why YES that is a Zebra and Llama you see! Only in TEXAS. 

Just some of the animals I passed everyday going to work. 













Working in a free standing ER is a challenge. You don't have any of the ancillary staff that a in-house ER has at their disposal. I worked with a great group of nurses. More adventures to come on other blog post. Stay tuned...

A Change to an RV Lifestyle

Can't believe it has been so long since I have written anything. I will start with our biggest news since my last post...

After two or more years of searching on Google, roaming RV lots, watching YouTube videos and reading Blogs about RV'ing; we finally brought home our new baby in February of 2016. Meet Miss Marple.

Open Range Light 319RLS

Even though this is a big change and investment, we are glad to be in our "home" away from home. We sure like not packing and unpacking with each new assignment and having our own bed and stuff all the time. We have to get use to a smaller fridge and oven. Cooked on gas in the past and love it so that will not be an issue. We always grill a lot so that will stay the same. We look forward to meeting a bunch of new people in the RV parks. 

Here are some inside pictures of Miss Marple.

Olive oil rack that we made

Obviously this is before we got all our stuff inside. The kitchen has an island that rolls into place which we really love. Gives us lots of extra counter and storage space. We also love the pantry in the kitchen. 

Since it is only the two of us and we never really eat at the table, we decided to take out the dinning table and chairs and replace with this (in the picture to the left). Gives us extra clothes storage and counter top space. We built the counter top piece to fit nicely over these plastic chest. 





With this model I didn't get my outside kitchen/TV so we are kinda making our own. We had an extra small TV at home so we put that outside. Looks smaller in the picture but it works out well for us. We also have a fold up table that we use for cooking on. We bring out the toaster/convection oven, Coleman stove and anything else to cook on and use it on the table.

Our Daisy girl is loving this lifestyle! She loves spending time outside with her human family.
