Having fun in an RV

I’ve always wanted to go camping in an RV as an adult.  I used to go with my family when we were younger, and I’d like to see that type of activity through the eyes of an adult.  I can remember as a young boy my parents took us in their tow-along RV to a gettysburg camping park.  It happened to be a very cold time of year, but I don’t remember exactly when it was.  I do remember though that the poor little RV had a really tough time keeping us all warm through the cold snap!

I think if I were to go pa rv camping again as an adult, I’d make sure to go during warm weather months!  And I’d make sure that the RV’s air conditioner and heater were in great shape, just in case the weather got extreme.  And I’d make sure that I’d review the different pennsylvania RV Parks carefully to make sure that the amenities were more than a simple trailer hook-up with water, sewer and electric.  Or at least be close to some attractions that would be fun to go see!  Just sitting around the RV can get boring after a while!

My sister’s going to perform

My sister emailed me that she is going to be performing in October at an International Children’s Festival. She’s been taking belly dancing classes in Winchester for the past several months now, and her instructor has given her this opportunity to perform in a group at the Festival.  She is both nervous and excited about dancing in public.  She says that the classes are a lot of fun, and she would like to perform in some area nursing homes if she got the chance.  She’s just not quite sure about performing in the Festival.  I think she’s afraid that bad weather might ruin it because the performance is in a park and she’s not sure of the stage area.  Well, whatever happens, I hope she has a great time!

Credit issues

I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised how many commercials I see on television nowadays regarding the issues of credit repair.  There are a lot of different companies out there that offer to help fix your credit.  Some of these bad credit repair services, such as Ovation Credit service give the consumer the impression that repairing credit is easy.  And it IS easy if the only thing wrong is mistakes on your credit report.

But if the issues are that you have poor credit because you haven’t been paying your bills, then these services cannot help you at all.  What you need to do in these cases is to make arrangements with your creditors to get your bills paid!  And that may not be easy if you have lost your income due to some unforeseen situation.  Job loss, sudden health issues, and accidents can all contribute to troubles that will have a negative impact on credit ratings.

Substitute Teaching

My son has been struggling for the past couple of years to find a good job. He has had his heart set on becoming a newspaper reporter, but he can’t seem to find one in the area. So he has decided to look into becoming a substitute teacher for the local school system. There is always a demand for substitutes, and I think he would make a really good teacher. Looking into what qualifications he needs, we were surprised to find that you don’t even need a college degree, only a high school diploma!

Taking care of Mom

My sister called me last night to tell me that when she dropped in on Mom she found he sitting in her favorite chair with an ice pack on her hip.  She had fallen down again and had stayed on the floor for a couple of hours in pain before she could get up.  For the past year I’ve been trying to convince my sister to sign Mom up for a Life Alert service so that when something like that happens the Life Alert service will call for help and she won’t have to be lying there in pain for more than a few minutes.

My sister and mother both have been resisting the idea of subscribing to a Life Alert service.  They just don’t want to spend the money.  But I know for a fact that my mother can easily afford it; she’s just being cheap!  So I’m going to talk to my wife about us subscribing to it on her behalf and paying the fees.  Mom’s life and safety is more important than saving a few dollars!
