Anyway, it's always fun, that first camping experience. It's an exciting and a one of a kind moment, since all preparations made will be put to the test.<br /><br />It's a bit hectic, but it's the defining moment that will make or break your views on camping.Kelvin Colemanhttp://www.shallowcreek.com/rv-parks-longview-tyler-gladewater-tx-facilities.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-54898209974377269832011-08-27T23:39:02.732-04:002011-08-27T23:39:02.732-04:00Thanks, Sandra.

But, if you think I can answer any of your questions, I'd be glad to try. We would be a lot smarter about purchasing an RV now that we've lived in one for awhile.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-90255609462333955112011-08-26T21:13:08.329-04:002011-08-26T21:13:08.329-04:00Ah...I read these two posts in reverse order, as I...Ah...I read these two posts in reverse order, as I've been away for a while and am just catching up on my blog reading!

I've heard of some folks that even keep a set of clothes in them so that they're always ready to hit the road.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-74366774587604870112011-08-25T09:53:17.681-04:002011-08-25T09:53:17.681-04:00The nice thing is they can always be packed.

I do hope Eddie doesn't use it in reference to you. :)<br /><br />Betsy - Doug is a retired tool and die maker, and precision is what he's all about. Maybe "perfectionist" wasn't totally accurate. "Precise" might have been a better choice of words. But you're right...there's good and bad to living with a precise perfectionist.<br /><br />Ruth - I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Doug, not so much. But the dirty work of camping fell to him.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-86478379519183850742011-08-24T22:47:01.734-04:002011-08-24T22:47:01.734-04:00Your camping adventures make a good read.I do hope...Your camping adventures make a good read.I do hope that over all it was a good experience.Ruth Hieberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260132564992492524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-25176405544530255782011-08-24T22:31:45.199-04:002011-08-24T22:31:45.199-04:00There's good and bad about having a perfection...There's good and bad about having a perfectionist in the family!!!!! ha ha ....
