A Visit From a Ninja

I love kids...especially ones that love me.  Cooper, Vannie and David's oldest grandson, has warmed up to me and we are pals, for sure.  I was  wishin' I had a new Halloween costume when Cooper appeared decked out in his bright red Ninja outfit.  He was in and out my door a million times doing some serious playing.  There are lots of new places to explore for a six year old and with that Ninja outfit on, he felt like he was the strongest, bravest, toughest, and cutest in the land. His mom and dad picked him up after church on Sunday and we had a sit-down lunch right at my cute little pull out table.  Gosh, cozy...cozy.
I'm definitely feelin' the luv!
Hi...Yi...I think that's how Ninja's say it when they are about to attack.  I definitely can't attack anyone here...there are about 5 fifth wheel sisters, 3 Katrina brothers, 4 motor home cousins, and several real trailers uncles.  I'm the smallest of the bunch and keepin' my mouth shut!
Later...

Not Just a Sleepover...It's the Real Deal!





You heard me right..."not just a sleepover...it's the real deal"...Vannie and Dave are sleeping like a babies in my beds every night now (it's been 3 in a row).  I feel so grateful I could just pop...and they are so-o-o happy.  I can tell, because even when they keep bumping into each other, they still have a smile on their faces.  Going from living in 2000 square feet to 200 square feet makes quite a difference in how one moves from place to place.
I feel like my whole insides have been replace...a new me has been born...extreme makeover move over...Gypsy Rhapsody is a new lady...and luvin' it!
The sofa color is fabulous and those bedspreads...awesome. David hung new silver miniblinds in the windows.  I overheard D and V talking tonight.  They said they were going to put me a new floor next week.
Gosh...I think I am going to bawl...I just feel so darn special...
And God said, "It is Good!"

The Countdown Has Started

Yep...the countdown has started.  D and V should be sleeping in my beds by the end of this week.  Hallelujah!  They signed on the Maplewood house this past Friday.  Vannie told me that the new owner is so excited about her new home.  She is a first home buyer and has been looking for just the right one for four years.  When she saw D and V's house online, she knew it was "the one".  She called the realtor...toured the house...and said...this is the one!  I want it!
I've been in Youngsville for the past month getting "opencamper" surgery.  Darrell, my repairman, fixed my plumbing, gas, water, plus installed a new frig, microwave/convection oven, etc.  David created a new kitchen counter with a new sink and 2 burner stovetop.  My seamstress, Missy, has been working on new bedspreads and cushions for the living room sofas.  There are still several things that will not get finished until after V and D move in, but they don't care one bit.  They just can hardly wait to start their journey with me.
This past Saturday, they moved me to 1409 East Broussard Road.  It's a great place.  I'm under the shade of a tree and it is very peaceful...just trying to be patient until Vannie and Dave move in.
Happy Trails...
