🎼 Safelite Repair … FAIL … Safelite Replace 🎼 !!

Can’t believe I’ve driven my new truck over 5,000 miles without incident, then on Wed, a 1/2 mile from the campground, a stone attacked my windshield 😩.

The 1st tech ‘tried’ to repair the damage but, within hours, it grew from a 1 inch crack to an 18 inch crack. Today my Bertha is sporting a brand new windshield !! 😃 I received a bonus too … free wiper blades 👍 !!

He advised me to install a hood deflector … will that really help 🤷🏻‍♀️ ?

Sadie & I thank all our friends for your prayers !! The doctor cleaned her teeth (no teeth were extracted!) & removed the tumor. The tumor was sent out for a biopsy. We will know the results later next week. I will then let y’all know. The 1st photo was when she arrived home … she was still a little ‘high’ & very hungry !! I gave her some soft treats & Greek yogurt.

I debated on whether or not to attach a graphic photo of her tumor. I decided against attaching it. The grape sized tumor was hidden in the upper cheek gum part on the inside of her mouth almost near her eye. Sadie sends love & thanks everyone !! 💖🐾

Sorry that I have been absent from blogging, but, we are in dire need of your thoughts & prayers.

We just returned from a trip to a local veterinarian. There is no easy way to tell you this. Sadie has been diagnosed with non-operative oral squamous cell carcinoma. This diagnosis is in addition to her heart murmur, arthritis, enlarged liver, fibroid tumors & collapsing trachea.

The vets office said to let her do what she loves to do, keep her comfortable & enjoy the rest of our time together.

She is a happy girl who still loves to walk & eat & sniff !! And she still won’t go inside her taco bed !!

Please keep Sadie in your prayers !! 🙏🐾💖

If you’re not on any social media, then you may not understand this blog. Dolly Parton put out a challenge on Twitter, so I thought I’d do the same for Miss Sadie … 😂🐾

If y’all don’t find this funny, just be glad I didn’t do the challenge too !! LOL 🤣

Enjoy !!

Around lunch time I received a surprise text from my last Disney camping neighbors. Susie & Jeff were in the area visiting their friend, Norita and stopped by to visit me & Sadie ! Such a fun surprise from awesome folks !! Thanks guys !!

Pic 2 – My tiny house composting toilet is complicated to use, so, before they drove back to Disney, they all headed to the campground “comfort station” ! 🚽

Pic 3 – My campsite lot is huge !! So huge that I could have a block party, but remember, when nature calls, y’all gonna have to use the comfort station !! 😜

Pic 4 – Sadie’s reaction to riding a golf cart again. Priceless 🐾🤣 !!

Pic 5 – FYI … AT&T is not a reliable cell service when you’re campground hopping. I called customer service to complain, but, I wasted my breath & time. There’s nothing they can do if a cell tower isn’t close. Stay tuned, I may be switching to Verizon. 😡

Pic 6 – One of the locals here told me that this tree is over 425 years old 😳 Whoa !!

There are plenty of wildlife here, thankfully no actual turkeys, just turkey buzzards by the hundreds 😳 ! Today I found out that boiled peanuts 🤢 & gator jerky 🤮 are popular snacks in these parts 🤷🏻‍♀️ ! No thanks.

This campground is filled with mature adults, and some VERY mature adults, but, guess what … I haven’t seen 1 child or teen in 2 days 👏 😃 !

This definitely isn’t Disney, however, Management does offer a wide array of activities, too numerous to individually name, so I attached a photo of the list.

Sadie adjusted very well to her new surroundings. She’s happy as long as she has something to sniff.

This afternoon I found out that on Saturday mornings they offer free coffee & donuts at the activities center. Well, this morning while they munched on Krispy Kremes, my tiny home was the hot topic, so immediately after the donut event was over, the golf cart paparazzi arrived 😂 on my lot. Of course they had a hundred questions, most of which I answer in my usual story telling way. In the past 24 hours I met at least a third of the 900+ residents.

I also met a really cute 10 week old beagle named Kaylee. She was a little spitfire !!

It’s been an awesome 4 months. I was at Disney for Halloween, Thanksgiving, my Birthday, Christmas & New Years ! A bucket dream fulfilled ! Time to move on !!

While in Orlando, I got to hang out with my awesome friends; Lori & Mike, Kim, Rob & Diane, Bill, Cindy & Jerry, and Mary & Ann.

I also experienced some of the best meals I’ve ever eaten !! Definitely will miss Colombia, the Boathouse, Anthony’s, Kilwins & Rocco’s Tacos !!

I met a lot of awesome campers as well !! My most recent neighbors (and now my newest friends) were Susie & Jeff. They are really cool, friendly people ! They helped me prepare my house this morning for my journey & Jeff even checked & filled my trailer tires. Thanks !!!! 😃 Thanks for the farewell driving away photos Susie !! Wishing you a very Happy birthday 🎂 tomorrow Jeff !!

I also said farewell to some great Fort Wilderness cast members … Aurelia, Jen, Kim, Zoe Renae & Bev. Thanks for being so helpful & nice to me !!

P.S. It was actually really cold here a few days ago !! They issued a falling iguana alert in Miami !! 😂

FYI in case you can’t reach me … The cell service here is annoyingly sporadic !!

Thanks for all your safe traveling prayers !! About 3 hours ago, Sadie & I made it safely to our next destination !! This is a pretty cool place with extremely friendly folks that either live here or visit !! I had a lot of help getting my house set up !!

I am their first tiny house. I’ve had at least 50 visitors already !!

I will post my Farewell Disney blog later tonight !!
