It's been one year now since Kim and I have started on our new journey of RV living......
We absolutely love our lifestyle and don't regret making this move! There is a sense of freedom that comes with this lifestyle that is so liberating....

We went back to Florence, Oregon

One, because our friends Larry and Kris
called and said that they had a smoker that a neighbor
was giving away....

So.....
I haven't posted to my blog in awhile....
It's always hard to get your thoughts together
especially
after you lose a loved one.
I had a hard time posting to my blog
back when we lost my Uncle Ducky.
But once you resume your composure....
you just have to continue on living....
This reminds me of when we lost my mother in law

My heart is broken today as I reflect
on the caos and emotions that everyone goes through when they lose a loved one.
My prayers are for my families comfort
and peace.
It doesn't matter who you are
what faith you are
how old you are
what gender you are......
we are ALL saddened by the death of a loved one
and everyone mourns in their own way.

I absolutely love rainbows!!!!
I guess it's because of the significance of the rainbow
and the promise Jehovah made to mankind in Genesis 9: 11-13
It's reminds us of how real Jehovah is
and
how he is reminding us that he is still there and very much a part our lives.
I love that!!!!

I often make batches of fermented cabbage juice to help boost my immune system
and give me the needed energy that I need to keep up with my busy life.
I recently ran out and didn't make a fresh batch right away
and I paid for it!
I got sick for three weeks with the flu!!!!
So I won't do that again!

Well so far 2016
has proven to be a very busy year for the Horn's.
We have been busy with everyday life
just like everyone else
that we know.
Sometimes things can overwhelm us
and
sometimes we just need to stop
and regroup.
Our way of decompressing
is
Camping!

I think that the most precious gifts that I have been given are those that are homemade....
So this year for Korey and Summuer's 10th Anniversary
(Can you believe 10 years have gone by already!)
I decided to make them something that came from my heart.
Korey loves bicycle riding in his spare time
so I asked him for some old bike sprockets that he was going to throw away.
