Rocking N Rollin: A new job, a new location, moving into the RV

My hours were cut back in December of 2013 at my job in Wickenburg. It's bad enough to not make enough for the mortgage let alone coming up short for the utilities as well. So I have been looking for work elsewhere. It wasn't going to get any better there.

THE PLAN

To stay at my middle son's house in the 5th wheel in Kingman while I work up here where there are more jobs.

I was hired the 8th of August at Lander Industries. Assembly line work making Renegade Hoof Boots for barefoot horses. I actually bought a pair for my horse about 6 years ago.

Mr. & Mrs. Lander started the business in their kitchen about 11 years ago. Kurt Lander invented it himself. It outgrew their kitchen into their garage. Then just this summer they expanded to a building in the industrial park near the Kingman airport and ship all over the world.

So I moved into our 5th wheel parked in my son's back yard.

My husband is staying at the house. "Holding down the fort".

My son can't have pets at his rental. Besides if no one was living at the house the bank would assume we abandoned it and take it over. We want to hold onto it till they give us an eviction notice or till my son buys property that we can move onto, whichever comes first, so this is just how it is going to have to be for awhile.

I drive home every other weekend to visit. I head down after work Friday, get to be home Saturday then about noon Sunday drive back to Kingman.

Every trip back to Kingman I brought a carload stuff from the house for the RV. And stuff to sell on craigslist up there as there is a greater population of potential buyers.

To help myself feel a little more at home, I planted a little garden next to my sons house and brought some potted plants from the house.
