It's been over a year now that I began my blog and in it, I refer to a blog that Angel and I intended on doing together. Angel and Maria's Tantalizing Tips and Tell-Tale Teachings..... of a Crossdresser and His Wife. To date, we haven't done a thing on it well,..... now is the time.
Let me give you a little background, just a month after I started my blog here, we were evicted from an apartment we lived in back in Utah. We strongly believed it was due to my husband's trans* inclinations. We couldn't really prove it and as of
then, there were no laws protecting us so, it didn't matter anyway. When we received our eviction notice, my husband ran an ad on craigslist asking if anybody had an RV they were willing to sell us on a seller financed contract so we could travel the country. Our children are grown and that was always the plan. A seller found us and agreed to sell us a 21 foot, vintage aged, motorhome.
Time was of the essence for a few reasons, the impending eviction and my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He was radiated while in the military which created the tumor which now has started growing. This became a bucket list wish. We had planned a retirement and would have had a much nicer RV but, you do what you gotta do. The tumor really blind-sided us and put those retirement plans 15 years sooner than planned. So, we put on our best face and proceeded to pursue the dream. The Dream, it's never out of reach and always attainable.
Back to the motorhome, it was their fathers and he'd passed away. They knew it had been sitting for the past four years and they told us it had a small water leak in the back and needed a new battery. That was it. They sold it to us at $1500.00. We gave $500.00 down and promised to pay $500.00 a month for the next two months. That didn't happen.
We sold everything we had besides our clothes, shoes (of course), makeup, wigs and a few incidentals to stock our new house. Off we went, down the road on the next adventure!
The motorhome came with six, what was told to us, good new tires. The first thing that went out was, we had a blow out on the freeway! One by one, each tire blew out. That's when we noticed, first, the tires were all retreads! It is against the law in my state to sell retreads so, no telling how long that vehicle sat with these retreads.
The next thing about the tires we ran into was their were several lug nuts that were fuzed to the studs making it impossible to change a tire on the side of the road. We had to be towed off the side of a freeway, 70 miles from anywhere. That ran us over $500 - right out of the gate, their was our first payment, out the window.
After the harrowing experience of having those freeway blow-outs, we decided to purchase seven new tires, (one spare). The motorhome is vintage, the tires had to be special ordered, took two weeks to get there and over $1000.00.
Every single day for the first 30 days, there was a new thing. Every couple of weeks for the first six months, a new major issue. The most expensive have been the hot water heater, it was $300.00 to replace and now the heater motor has gone out. That is going to be over $500.00 for a new heater.
Needless to say, we fell behind on the payments and still owe $600.00 to get the title. The owner said he has sent out the repo guys to get it and take it back. We don't want to lose it and have come to be very much at home with with it. For now, we hide out in the mountains and Angel gets to be when she wants. So of the previous stories in my blog, envision, I am in less than 100 square feet as she is bounding by me, throwing all her things around. It's been funny (and fun as I look back).
We are hiding in the mountains with nothing better to do than talk to each other and try on the new clothing we got from Family Dollar and the makeup with picked up at Walmart so we have finally agreed to start that blog! Yeah!
Head on over the Angel and Maria's and see what's new!
P.S. I know I gotta lace front wig and I know I don's know how to wear it! That's funny! Any help from a crossdresser would really be appreciated.
Good luck pursuing the dream. How did the tumor issue work out?
