O.K. so not only did I get to go 4 wheeling for the first time this year, I also got to go snowmobiling.  You might ask yourself why I’m thinking about snowmobiling right now.  The snow is melted and it’s now time for other things, but for some reason or other when my husband came home from work today he asked me if we should stay at the same cabins this year or try a different one.  I told him that we should probably stick with the ones we rented last time because we know where they are, and we now know how to get to the trails right from the cabin.  But then I got to thinking.  Maybe we should try the other cabins.  I don’t know if you’re anything like me but I’m arachnophobic, pretty bad.  I can’t bring myself to get near a spider.  YUCK!!!!!  I’m not one of those freak because I break a nail type of sissy girls either, I just can’t stand spiders.  So, this last winter when we went and stayed in the cabin there were spiders everywhere.  And I do mean everywhere.  The first time I walked into the bathroom there was more than 5 spiders just in that one little room.  I don’t even remember how many I counted in the living room or kitchen.  Let’s just say that I didn’t get a good night sleep.  I was worried all night that spiders were going to get me!!!  Before I can make my decision, and yes I have a long time to do so, I plan on calling the cabin renting place and ask them if they will be willing to bug bomb it before I get there.  That might sound funny to you but the place is basically dead during mid winter and they’ll do just about anything for business.  So we’ll see.  If they won’t bomb it for me, we might just have to try the other cabins out.  But, we’ve got months to plan it!!

Well, my husband and I decided that we had been so busy for the past few weeks that it was time to spend some quality fun time together.  He ended up coming up with the idea of going 4 wheeling.  This may surprise some people, especially if they know me well, but I have never been on a 4 wheeler before.  Our friends who live about an hour from here have been offering to let us come up and ride on their property, but we’ve never taken them up on the offer.  Well we did this weekend.  We had a lot of fun.  We reached their house about noon and off we went.  Steve and his wife Michelle rode on one, while my husband and I rode on the other.  I haven’t had that much fun in a long time.  We were out for hours and I got some great pictures of the lakes we visited.  Some parts of the drive were old logging roads so they were fairly relaxing but other parts of the drive were what some would call off-roading.  Let’s just say that at one point it turned into white knuckle driving, which is fine because my husband and I are used to it.  We go mud bogging and hill climbing all the time in our Chevy.  I told my husband that as soon as we can we need to buy a 4 wheeler for driving around our place.  He agreed, but now is not the time.  I can’t wait until we get one though.  As I said before, it’s been a while since I have had that much fun!!!

O.k.  This was an interesting turn of events.  My mother-in-law came up for a visit and now she is going to buy and RV and park it on our property.  She lives in a town about 185 miles from here or so and she has wanted to move back for quite some time.  During her visit we were all sitting on the back porch talking to one another and one topic led to another.  Before you know it we were making plans on how to set everything up.  Let’s just say it was an interesting development.  She left yesterday but plans on being back soon.  The first step for her is to buy an RV and I’m sure my husband and I may have to help with that.  I know she can afford the payments; I’m just not sure if she has enough for the down.  My husband and I have never shopped for an RV before from a dealer.  Luckily his sister and her family have. 

In fact I wrote a post about it a while ago explaining things.  If you would like to read the quick post you can click here if not I’ll give a brief explanation.  I explained that my sister-in-law and her family decided that they wanted to do some traveling and after careful consideration it was decided that because of the 3 boys they had that an RV would be the best way to go.  They did a lot of research on the internet and finally decided to go with Big Sky RV.  (if you are interested in Big Sky RV you can check out their website which is http://www.bigskyrv.com)  They ended up choosing a really nice RV, and as quick as they could they were off exploring the world.  I got received post cards from the boys during their travels from Stowe VT, Kennebunkport ME, and Brockton MA.  They had a blast.  They are home now, but I’m sure that their parents have already planned their next adventure.

So, as soon as my mother in law gets back here we will probably head down to see my sister-in-law and her husband.  At that point we can all travel to the dealership together and hopefully choose an RV that will work great for my mother-in-law. 

I finally have some time so I decided to write something real quick.  I wrote a post a while ago that said my dog has been having a lot of seizures, he has epilepsy.  He’s had it for a while now that we’ve known about but the seizures aren’t normally this numerous, or close together.  So we took him into the vet to see if we could figure out what’s going on.  He’s fine now.  The seizures stopped.  I don’t know what was causing them to come so close together, but let me tell you it was scary.  The vet said he should be fine; it’s not even bad enough to start giving him medication yet.  If it gets to the point where he needs medication then I’ll be really worried.  At this point I’m just doing my best to keep him calm, but entertained.  I don’t want him getting board and losing his mind.  Then I’d really be in trouble…
