It's called 'time is moving on'. While in our younger years we fling around such expressions as 'I'll get around to it', or 'I'll do that down the road', or 'that can wait for another year', or 'someday' like ticker tape at a parade.</strong></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"><strong>Before we know it, 'someday' has knocked on our badly-needing-paint door. Dang, time is sneakier than a kid in the cookie jar! We don't have 40 or 50 years in the future anymore, so we might as well <span style="color:#330033;"><em>DO IT NOW</em></span>. </strong></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"><strong>If only we could put an old head on young shoulders. When it comes to accomplished goals, a somewhat sense of urgency or <em><span style="color:#330033;">'Do It Now'</span> </em>way of thinking helps......Big Time.</strong></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"><strong>Now to the point of all this....once again, an off the cuff comment has DB (Dearly Beloved) and I making a major move.</strong></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"><strong>While wandering around our winter home of Yuma, AZ one day last December, he and I decided to "just look" at a few of the thousands of RV's in the many dealerships in this city. Yuma must be the RV capital of the world! Ha! Have you ever gone 'just looking' at puppies???</strong></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"><strong>Here it comes.........that off the cuff remark......:</strong></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"><strong>"Why don't we upgrade? Less expensive than Canadian prices at home, the dollar is almost at par, it is our 24/7/365 home and will be for 7 to 10 years, we will have to upgrade in a couple of years anyway, why not <em><span style="color:#330033;">'Do It Now'</span></em> and enjoy more room and more modern ammenities longer???"</strong></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"><strong>Besides, poor cat Sid is allergic to something in the RV. Vet put him on antihistamines and all he did was sleep. He barely even snored and Sid is a champion snorer! I cannot have one of my furry-purries suffering, so that was the final catalyst. </strong></span><br /><br /><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162893151440718402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_EyVM2TlPlro/R6ZH95DrykI/AAAAAAAAADw/5wmj_8p-aEc/s400/Moving+Day+Fab+Four.JPG" border="0" /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#330033;"><strong>MOVING DAY WITH FRIENDS NOREEN AND BRYAN</strong></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#330033;"><strong>This is how you move from one RV to another!
