Hi, I am a single female camper looking for work starting at the end of May, 2021. I prefer the southern states and western states for the winter and the northeast during the spring, summer and fall. But I am open to any offering. This is my first outing as a worker on wheels but I can give you excellent personal references from my work over the past 30 years. I am in excellent health and retiring next year after 30 years in the engineering industry. I can start as early as January. I can clean, sew, host, do any kind of computer work you need (including graphic design). I run and lift weights so I am in good physical condition (I have run 4 marathons) and can do some outside work too, including gardening, painting, etc. I have photography and Photoshop skills and can help with website items also. I have done waitressing and bartending early in my life so can help at weddings and parties and things like that. I own a renovated van with solar and roof deck. I love it. I travel with my cat who is older and sleeps 23.5 hours a day. He is leash trained.  He stays close and loves the van and his screen house. We don't take up much space and my rig is very clean. If you need a couple working I am happy to talk to a male who has his own rig and wants to team up at a camp to work.  If you email me I will send you a resume of my 30 year work history and references. Please leave me a message on my cell at:    207-329-0144 or email me a buffycrosby@yahoo.com

No Bake Cookies

2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
½ cup milk
1 cube margarine
½ cup peanut butter
Dash of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla
3 cups oatmeal

 

Combine sugar, cocoa, milk and margarine into a pot and bring to a rolling boil.  Continue boiling for one minute. Remove from the stove and stir in the peanut butter, salt, vanilla and oatmeal. Drop by spoonful on waxed paper.  Let cool and eat.

 

There is a reason I am sharing this recipe with you. Not only have they remained one of my favorite cookies but we have quite a history together.  When I was in my early teens and my parents were out of the house,  I would divide all of the ingredients by 4 to make a quarter sized batch and create one big cookie that went straight to the freezer.   Within a half hour I’d pull it out, eat it all up and hide all trails of its existence.   I suppose there were other issues I should have addressed at that point but these cookies were sooo good that I couldn’t help myself.  It’s been almost 40 years and yet I still know the recipe almost by heart.    Enjoy! :) Mike and Traci

                  

An elderly couple who’d recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary were sitting on the sofa in their Airstream when the wife asked, “Dear, do you remember how you used to sit close to me?” He moved over and sat close to her. “Dear,” she continued, “do you remember how you used to hold me tight?” He reached over and held her tight.

“And,” she went on, “do you remember how you used to hug me and kiss me and nibble on my ear?” With that, her husband got up and started to walk toward the rear of the trailer.

“Where are you going?” she asked. “Well,” he answered, “I have to get my teeth.”

 

Where do you find a cow with no legs?  Right where you left it

 

What did the left eye say to the right eye?  Between you and me, something smells

 

Starting a Business 

 

Now that the RV life has taken hold, what is the next step?  The next step is a plan to gain a purpose and opportunities.  Opportunities are everywhere but must be sought out.  Seeking out opportunities are sometimes difficult but other times easy.  For example, take the direct selling industry.  The direct selling industry encompasses: health, beauty, skin care, vitamins, water, oils, candles, etc., many different options to choose.  The direct selling industry teaches skills that are often overlooked for a relatively small starting price usually anywhere from $100.00 to $300.00.  Skills such as time management, business economics, growth, goals, planning are needed when starting a business.  It also allows tax deductions because it is considered a home-based business.  

My wife’s in-home business is beauty and skincare.  She teaches women how to take care of their skin to stay hydrated and younger looking. In addition, she offers quick makeup tips for any age. The company practices the “Golden Rule” and has the philosophy of Faith, Family and Career.  Jen can work for herself but never by herself.  Someone is always willing to help.  There are 2 avenues of income in the direct selling industry basically selling and team building.  With the internet and the goofy times of 2020, selling and team building can be done one-on-one, in small groups, or virtually so basically anywhere. Here is her link for her business website and facebook group and instagram: www.myanchorcard.com/jenerickson 

For a RVer, direct selling industry is the best of both worlds—working from home and traveling across country. We would love to hear your comments or thoughts on this topic. Comment or give feedback to: motorcoachingnewbietopro@gmail.com
