Welcome!

Greetings from the Carolinas!

The south is famous for hospitality and traditions. With that in mind, I would like to graciously welcome you to my Blog. Please join me while I share my passions and reminisce about life in the south.

I have finally realized that one of the keys to an amazing life is to enjoy the journey as we are working towards our goals & our dreams. Becoming a "Gamma" has been such a blessing and helped me slow down and enjoy each precious minute of my day.

Creating a new Chapter in life!




I did it! I am so excited!!
(Can you believe that I can drive this??)
Girls can drive big things and they can camp too. I had fun figuring out things as I went. I had to call Jimmy and Bonnie a few times and I had a checklist also. They are so good to me. They call and check on me all the time to make sure I am safe.
I have had a stressful year and have decided I need to make some changes.  I am going to strive on working towards creating the life of my dreams! I love the beach but I also want to explore other areas that I have not traveled. I decided to purchase an older RV.  I am going to have fun decorating it into a cozy little home on wheels. A second home that travels to the beach and to other areas that I want to explore and visit. I will meet new friends and visit new places!

I decided to purchase an RV because I can keep my most favorite things with me at all times. I can move around and explore different cities. I can decorate it as I like. I can sleep in my own bed instead of a hotel.

I traveled to Burlington, NC after finding a great RV on craigslist. Meet the previous owners of the RV.  Jimmy & Bonnie. They took such great care of the RV.









Emily took a picture of me pulling out of their driveway on 5/26/2010.


I love driving this RV. Bonnie made little curtains and they put in hardwood floors. Jimmy & Bonnie have a beautiful home and live in the country just outside of Burlington, NC. They are such a sweet couple. I have enjoyed visiting with them. Their neighbor has a pet deer that roams around in the yard. It is so peaceful out there. They have been very kind to me and I appreciate that so much. We had so much fun the day they gave me driving lessons! They gave me quick class on driving and how to use the RV. I took notes and then I was on my own. I will update you on my first trip adventure on my next post.

I had to take a picture of their view from their home.
Life is a treasure and I am going to make the most of every moment!

Ava was so excited that I have a Queen size bed and a kitchen that I can drive!

Ava saw this camper in a store at Myrtle Beach and had Mommy send me a picture via cell. She said this is like Gamma's RV!

  1. Terri, I love it! This is wonderful. I feel so lucky to have such a beauiful brave friend. We all need to fill our lives with adventures. My sister and her husband bought one of these last year and went on a two week vacation out west. They will be going again in three weeks. I can't wait to hear more about your trip and trips to come. Love you, Joanie
