Well, my niece just took me on a video tour of a nice, used RV down there in Florida. It was indeed, very nice, and she and her hubby bought it when I gave the OK.
They are coming up the week after Thanksgiving and we will move all my "essentials," including ALL if my preps and everything I have canned, frozen, and stored. They FINALLY realized this past February that I was correct about the need to prep, but they are still beginners. They have 2 large freezers full, and think that is enough to live on for a year. I see that I will have my work cut out for me getting them up to speed.....but at least they are understanding what is going on now!!!
I have sold all my animals and just have a couple of dogs left. One of them is my precious Bailey. Now that all of the animals are gone, the "demon" is now breaking into my garage and stealing/ destroying my personal items. This morning, she came to the window by my bed, and barked, as she does, pretending to be one of the dogs. I really don't know what to think; so tragically stupid and BIZARRE!!! If THIS is the only purpose she has in life, how very VERY SAD!!! I finally decided to leave, because she is so obsessed with doing anything she can to make my life harder or more difficult. What a MISERABLE person she must be!!!
She already has me living without electricity, except for the little amount that two heavy duty extension cords can bring from the electric post. So, basically I have just one small room that is A/C'd, a fan for the remainder of the RV, and has destroyed my ability to have hot water, except for what I put through the coffee pot!! By unplugging the fan, I can run the microwave, OR an electric appliance, like an electric frying pan, but not both at once. I have tolerated this for a good 2 and a half years. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
Meanwhile, she has killed a number of my animals and tortured my dogs in all kinds of ways......like I said, she destroys what ever I try to do, EXCEPT for the GARDEN.......which is just BIZARRE!! Because apparently she doesn't realize this is the backbone of the homestead!!
At first I was heart broken to be leaving here, but now I am getting really EXCITED about it......now I can hardly wait!!
Initially, I was going to have my RV that I have now, trucked down to Florida, but my niece convinced me to do it another way......primarily so that we can move the RV I will have down there, in case of a storm, ect. The one I currently have is a 5th wheel, and although it is a few feet bigger, we had no way to move it around once it was set up.
She sent me lots of pictures showing how much area they have that I can use for gardening and it will do .. ...not 6 acres, like I have here, but about enough to support us. They don't yet understand that we will need to be at least somewhat self sufficient. They are fairly well off, and didn't understand the food crisis until it began to stretch even their budget!!
I admit, I was having MAJOR ANXIETY until she sent the pictures, however now I am feeling better about it.
What is almost SCARY to me, is, they actually seem to WANT me there!! They paid for the new/used RV with THEIR money, and as soon as the bank loan goes through for my place and I receive the money in my hot little hand, I am to pay them back!! WOW!! JUST WOW!!!
So, I am packing and getting ready. They told me that I CANNOT BRING my 100 thick, heavy duty plastic one gallon jugs that I store water in, but guess what......those jugs will now be filled with beans, rice, flour, cornmeal, and all kinds of other goods!!!
LOL!!! More than one way to deal with these issues!!! TeeHee!!
