Go back to October 2009 and follow her adventures from North Carolina to North Carolina via the New England states, Canada, Mid-Western states and Florida (over 9,000 miles, 21 states and 3 Provinces). Since late-May 2011 the tiny T@B has been stationary but was (for 15 months) full-time "home" for the owner.Lorraine Frantz Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03011796465016469840noreply@blogger.comBlogger697125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588397930183915028.post-8742593531840006272015-07-22T11:55:00.001-04:002015-07-22T11:55:34.745-04:00Goodbye !!It's time to report that my beloved T@B teardrop trailer--that I affectionately called <i>"Mercedes"</i>--was recently sold.

After all the messages I prepared over the years, on this site, linking you to another site is less than desirable. However, honestly, with all the troubles I experienced on this site (before I switched), I don't have the time and/or patience to duplicate here.<br />
<br />
'Twas only fair to bring interested readers up-to-date. Please know that I truly have a bleeding, broken heart!! I loved my T@B teardrop trailer!!!! (Old age and financial restraints curtailed my travel.)<br />

I've been seated just inside my patio door all morning watching the squirrels, and birds, feed on the feast I've spread for them (and took nineteen pictures). Sadly (for me) the squirrels have not found the new peanut feeder. I want a picture of a squirrel on that feeder!! So I've waited patiently--while listening to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Tenors">The Three Tenors</a> singing Christmas music.</b><br />

<b>No, I didn't sit by the window all day!! But I was working on "downsizing" projects in the living room and watched the squirrels come and go. Finally, at 3:35, a squirrel stretched full length to examine the contents of that new feeder. Minutes earlier he had enjoyed a drink of water--and I thought he would surely find the peanuts. Over the next half-hour he made numerous trips... and invited his siblings and cousins. There was a parade of my furry friends grabbing a peanut and then running for the trees. </b><br />

<b>Comment: It required more patience to create this message than waiting on the squirrels!! While working on this... the format changed unexpectedly (not my action). Suddenly there were fewer "tools" available. The worse problem: I lost control of arrangement of the pictures. I wanted these side-by-side. </b><br />

The squirrels needed another seed block in one feeder. Several months ago I found a wonderful place called <a href="http://www.wildbird.com/franchisee/chr/home"><span class="Apple-style-span">"Wild Bird Center."</span></a> At that time, I bought the baffles that stop the squirrel from climbing the Shepherd's hooks (and other purchases). I love to browse their store!! Yesterday, I saw, and purchased, a red dome to shelter a Hummingbird feeder. No Hummingbirds at this time of year but a red dome will help attract them next year. Another red feeder for sunflower seeds but I'll wait... because I already have three feeders (with sunflower seeds) that the birds are already familiar with. I won't open the flat feeder (front & center) until a later date. I may use it for the deer food feeder. Yes, I launched into feeding the deer!! Temporarily, deer food is in a brand-new red "kitty litter" box, with a salt lick, at the edge of lawn/woods. I'm realistic: Raccoons may get to the food before the deer. ~~~~ Comment, 1:30 PM: A squirrel is feasting on goodies in the familiar place. I'm anxious for it to find the whole peanut feeder.

Picture number 4 documents that five (or more) of my coworkers (at Vernacular Media) arrived (by car) at approximately the same time. In total, there were more than fifty volunteers from <a href="http://www.jaars.org/"><span class="Apple-style-span">JAARS</span></a> volunteering at <a href="http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/Processing_Center/"><span class="Apple-style-span">Operation Christmas Child</span></a>!! Conservatively, there were 200 workers in the receiving area before dividing into smaller groups to see a video and listen to instructions. Then we stood in long lines, single file, before moving to our work station. ~~ Each box went through three or four pair of hands, several steps. ~~ We departed with indelible memories, a T-shirt and a Christmas ornament. ~~ The seniors had lunch at Golden Corral prior to returning to JAARS. ~~ (Left click on a picture to enlarge.)</b><div><b><br /></b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTyTS86W-ef8aVSw66DobepiPHMTDEGt96tFSl6VSm9zVgL5pO9LDq9Wx4Sra1GjKCnbsWA3OLXaKFp-TL-swRcHNDNNe9tgTul1Oyyqmdf6NZW4lhesz2QePt1eW_XZKx6VohlbTI1GE/s1600/SN851927.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left;

I missed them terribly!! I asked questions of longtime residents here at JAARS and was told the squirrels were gathering acorns for the winter--or hibernating. I was thrilled when they reappeared about ten days ago AND put out their food again (packed away). I've had four at one time... recently. You can see that I pamper the squirrels. (I didn't put out the chair with squirrel feeder but scatter corn and sunflower seeds on the patio.) ~~ Check my <a href="http://tabteardroptravels.blogspot.com/2011/09/squirrel-tale.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" >earlier blog</span></a> for the complete story regarding my relationship with the cute little critters.<br /><br />Comment: Even after a phone call to Windstream, I'm still having a problem uploading pictures!!

I've spent hours attempting to upload images!! I start the upload process and go back to my other project of the hour. Sometimes several hours just to upload one picture; sometimes (after all that time) it isn't a usable image (examples below). I also mentioned this problem in my Thanksgiving Day blog.<br /><br />On Friday, I assembled a four-shelf free-standing storage (from Sam's Club). I placed the shelves in such a way that I could have two bins on the floor under the bottom shelf. Then I arranged shelf two and three so I could position drawers between them. Now I have a place for my Vita Mix, and Osterizer, and lots of other "storage." </b><b>(FYI: I already had the plastic containers [bins] and drawers. Not an additional expense.)</b><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Remember <a href="http://tabteardroptravels.blogspot.com/2011/11/pandoras-box.html"><span class="Apple-style-span">my recent lament</span></a>: <i>"Yipes, where do I put them now that they are out of the box?? More clutter!!" </i>On Saturday, I assembled a three-shelf free-standing stand (from my overabundance of stuff, advertised "for sale" but never sold). I purchased it while living in Shelby and disassembled it before it went into the PODS storage. Before the day was out, I had unpacked my cook books and put them on the shelves. Not that I intend to keep, and use, all those beans, blender, food processor, pressure cooker, salad, vegan, and vegetarian cook books but I need a place to put them while I advertise them for sale (or for give away). So-o-o, over the last several days I have emptied five boxes!! (FYI: My kitchen is quite small, and storage is limited, so I desperately needed the extra storage units.) ~~ I'm now quite pleased with the appearance of the kitchen and would no longer be embarrassed if a guest stepped into my apartment.<br /><br />Second picture shows the table (originally from the T@B teardrop trailer) in front of the newly assembled storage shelves. I'll need to move the table to get to the items on the shelves BUT this is preferable to things in cardboard boxes!!<br /><br /></b></div><div><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b><b><br />Yucky pictures (below).

Conservatively, it has been approaching ten years since I had guests, and decorated a table!! Upwards to one hundred JAARS family and friends enjoyed a potluck meal (with turkey & dressing), and fellowship. Initially, I signed up to "set up" or "clean up" and thought I'd find an empty seat at someones table. To my delight, friends from the RV Park said they would join me. Wow!! ~~ I didn't go to a lot of expense; I used my mismatched Corelle dinner plates (acquired over the years from Thrift Shops). Lord knows how long I've had an unopened package of paper napkins, and the plastic cups!! I searched my apartment for "Fall" decorations. Other than Trader Joe's awesome fresh cranberry sauce, and croissant rolls, my only expense was a delicious-smelling pumpkin-spice candle. ~~ It was such an enjoyable experience!!

I've tried everything (everything!!) imaginable and have isolated the problem to my Internet provider (Windstream). I pay about $70. per month for phone and Internet. I rarely make or receive a phone call so all that money for limited benefits!!
