When we sold our house in 2010, the housing market was very poor. Our first realtor had very few showings. I called the Realtors Board in our area and asked who was the highest selling realtor in our area for the previous year. We hired him. There were many many showings and they got it sold. Might be worth looking into for your area. Sending you lots of good wishes!! It will happen.RV Khronicles of Kevelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612195786405870520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-8701519577736204842013-11-10T12:55:10.655-08:002013-11-10T12:55:10.655-08:00We bought the Big Boss Triple Cooker.

We have also cooked meatloaf, sausage, corndogs (I really like the trader joe turkey corndogs). <br /><br />The only thing I don't like so far, is that the glass bowl is really heavy. So it can be a pain to wash in a small sink. I usually do a dish tub when washing dishes anyway, (as I am just doing weekend camping anyway)<br /><br />http://www.qvc.com/qvc.product.K301262.html?item=K301262&ref=GAS&tpl=detail&cm_ven=GOOGLESHOPPINGFEED&cm_cat=Cooking%20&%20Dining&cm_pla=Kitchen%20Electrics&cm_ite=K301262-000-000&CAWELAID=1919457199&catargetid=600006460000298315&cadevice=c&cagpspn=pla<br />gypsy68https://www.blogger.com/profile/08782852057748502917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-45716345892044042772013-11-10T10:41:20.067-08:002013-11-10T10:41:20.067-08:00Howdy MK & Craig,

Luckily y'all have the place to tryout FULL-TIMING.. <br />Joyce's brother, CRAIG, has been trying for over a year to sell their house, in Plano,TX.. He's without a job(63), but his wife has a fairly 'good' one, nearby and they had just about decided to keep it... BOOM, a couple with a grown, autistic son, is about to PUT A CONTRACT on it and they're going to have to MOVE SOMEWHERE!!!<br />Plano, is TOOO rich for their blood<br />NOW, even rent, BUT THEY DO HAVE A 34' KEYSTONE MOUNTAINEER, to live in, but NO PLACE TO PARK IT, near Plano... We told'em, IF the house sells, HOOK THAT TRAILER UP AND TAKE OFF; TO H..L WITH THE JOB !!!<br />They could even move out here on the ranch, for a while, until they decide where to go.. They have a son's family almost in Plano and their daughter's family in Magnolia<br />TX, near Houston,(225 mls) so, they're spread-out for where to live permanently; the MOUNTAINEER is perfect for that.. There are COE parks BOTH PLACES, for 14 day stays... Of course Craig's wife doesn't do BOONDOCKIN', but they like the COE parks !!!<br />IT'S AN RVrs LIFE OUT THERE !!!<br />Just wish we were younger...butterbeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175812283517686524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-53490783603963718092013-11-09T07:46:03.285-08:002013-11-09T07:46:03.285-08:00Hang in there.

We were able to remove the bbq from the trailer, and replace it with a small burner in case I want to cook outside.<br /><br />My fingers are crossed for the house sale.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496816387781623642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-17946316047295561072013-11-09T05:18:36.845-08:002013-11-09T05:18:36.845-08:00It's good that you had the opportunity to see ...It's good that you had the opportunity to see what is needed and what you might have forgotten in the house. <br /><br />I don't mind washing dishes by hand either and agree it doesn't take as long a unloading the dishwasher.<br /><br />Once we left Georgia and our house with the Realtor, we kind of forgot about it while enjoying our winter in Florida. We got an offer when winter was coming to an end and we came back for the final purge/closing. In hindsight, we would have been smarter to have gotten rid of more stuff before we headed south, but it all got done.

It will happen when the right person comes along.

It's just quicker (at least for just 2 people). <br /><br />Do you have a crock pot? Excellent way to roast a chicken and much better than store-bought. Uses little energy and doesn't put out any heat. <br /><br />Just plop it in the slow-cooker and season as you like. We just use lemon pepper. Cook for about 6 hours.
