Sadie playing with Zeus was fun! I loved watching her kick up that dust lol! She is such a fun loving girl!
And her closing her eyes getting all comfy in the red blanket was the perfect ending!
That wind was aweful! That's when u would have been ready to kick me out because I would have been scared! 🤣
Cudos to you for doing ur own mantaince on that solar panel! You never know what we can accomplish until we try.
Thanks for another fun adventure!
Your male parental unit had a lot in common with mine. I'm sorry you had to live with that and I'm glad you've grown into a strong woman doing what you need to do in order to heal and thrive. I salute you.
So sweet Sadie made a friend. I'm so sad for you that your dad was such a rough guy. I had the sweetest kindest father and could not imagine my childhood without him. He died young at 67. Wish he could have had a longer life ♡
👍 Cutest thing ever, watching Sadie give him a tour of her huge backyard/playground lol Safe & Happy Travels :)
I really enjoy your videos so down-to-earth and beautiful scenery
Thanks for watching Susan!
omg, i could totally watch dogs play all day!! Sadie has a new friend- yay!! SO CUTE!!!!!!
It's so cute seeing Sadie and Zeke playing. Sadie looks so happy.
It's so cute Sadie found a playmate
I will be going to New Mexico this summer. I am so excited to visit my daughter and sightsee. Your videos are always informative. Hug Sadie and enjoy every moment with her. I lost Sadie Bell after 14 years. They're not dogs, they're family
Roswell, yes, one of my favorite towns, been there had a great time in July.💜👍 Safe travels Carolyn and Sadie
So cool that Sadie had a pal for a while. What a great place for her and you, except for that darned sand!! Andd wind!!! Not aesthetically pleasing but Sadie is happy. 👍🏼😊 Am looking forward to your stay in the next park.
How adorable those 2 bow-wows are! 🥰🥰
That is so cute to see the dogs playing! ❤️
It’s Sadie’s twin with a tail. That is too darn cute everyone needs to have a play date now and then. I have always wanted to see New Mexico. I have not seen states in the south. I tend to love the north and really love the North East. People are so wonderful and the food is out of this world. I never knew you had outdoor music. Miss fixit. Love the way your not afraid the tackle repairs. I use to be the same way. Thank you for sharing with us. I so enjoy all the places you go and all the adventures you share. Stay safe and big Hugs to both you girls/Ladies
What a beautiful view.... Interesting how they circle around each other ....
You look wonderful. Glad you and Sadie are doing great.
Love your channel, keep up the good work. You give other women hope!
Hello Carolyn 👋 I missed you and Sadie it's so good to see yall after all this time!!! I'm sorry it's been a while but I had an accident at work with a skid back in Nov and they still made me go to work and pt until April 21st when I had surgery, so now I'm home and able to catch up on some videos!!! Thank you for sharing! It's always such a pleasure seeing you and Sadie and doing y'alls thing!!! Much love to you both! See y'all next time!❤☺👍
Play so great to see said you playing with a friend. Said he's just a happy happy dog good to see you Carolyn y'all take care stay safe and God bless you both
Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome Kathryn!
So cute Sadie had a playdate 🐾🐾❤️🌵
Looking forward to reading your childhood memories! Misery loves company. My Mom was the disciplinarian in our family while Dad worked away. It took a long time for me to realize my siblings experience & memories where much different than mine. Spring cleaning… I need to get on it! 😉
great vid, thank you!👍
Fun video! I am retired Army so that makes us family I think! Love your Sadie! Stay happy and safe!
That scares me thinking Sadie will take off after him
The Caverns is an awesome sight...I agree the connectors are such a pain you are smart to just direct wire it...Happy Travels.
I wish I had half as much energy as Sadie does, she's such a happy dog! : )
This was a really good video... I loved listening to you. I also watch Steve Wallis... He's a lot of fun and cracks me up. Sadie looked so cute all snuggled up in that red blanket. Wonderful video Carolyn, safe travels. 👍😁
Good call on Businesses and Corporations! That was good for a belly laugh!'
Great video of your daily life and of Zeus and Sadie being pals. I have to agree with you, I would not be a fan of the sand and the bland environment in early spring there in Carlsbad, NM. Good to see normal living once again, although it's dry. Thank you Carolyn.
Love your videos
Fun to see Sadie playing with a friend! She has so much energy and a "sense of humor"...swear she was grinning!
About that goofy valve....could there be an actual shut valve in the water line. If so you could permanently shut the water off to it! Anybody out there with the same Rv know?
your skin looks so beautiful,Caroline.You are aging backwards!
Sadie is so lucky to have the amazing life you give her. Bless you!
Wow, you're on a roll, first you repair the switch, now the solar panels. Brava! Oh, and the white sand, I believe, is gypsum.
"it doesn't how it gets done, I got it done!" What a woman! My hero!!
Thanks for sharing. Would love to be out there. Today I went into the city and the energy from so many people drained me. Need to do what you do.
Enjoyed watching Sadie play with her friend.. she got a good bath too , and then all snuggled in her blanket for a nap😁. So adorable. You are really good about getting things fixed in the RV..👍.. that wind/dust was a bit much..safe travels and have fun in Roswell 🤗🙏
Thank you Sharon and thanks for watching!
memoir writing sister❤️
Love sadie playing with another pup
So cute to see Sadie zooming around with the other dog….. I do not love that white powdery sand made me sneeze just watching it blowing around. 💜✌🏽
Yup, in Canada, technically, if it's posted 'no overnight parking' you shouldn't. But...my husband is a retired Mountie who worked his last bunch of years on highway patrol, and NEVER bothered with anyone parking overnight in a rest area, pull out or gravel pit (all places you 'technically' aren't allowed to overnight in here in Canada. The police have much more important things to do than bug RVers getting a night sleep in a rest area.
Enjoyed this!! Looking forward to Roswell adventures. Safe Travels. Sincerely, Shay's vWays
Your quite amazing in that you do alot of boondocking...your very unique in your travels...
I’ve been in Mexico 🇲🇽 and loved it 🥰 but never been in New Mexico.
Thanks for testing the ground in New Mexico, I wanted to go there next winter. I was leary because of my bout with Valley Fever at Edwards AFB, California
Hey Carolyn I watch the Canadian channels too and I wanted to bring this to your attention. When they do any repairs on roof or anywhere in their vans and buses they use marine caulk and product’s. I think that’s a good idea.
Sadie had fun! She was wore out! Lol!
I'm loving my first visit to NM. Skies are so lovely and couldn't get over the sunset tonight. Still amazed that we may be here at the same time as my home is far, far from here. My son just moved to ABQ which has brought me here. I can definitely see moving here, I can't get over how friendly and relaxed everyone is, that alone is wonderful. Enjoy Carolyn and Sadie wherever you may be.❤️
The sunset was beautiful tonight, wasn't it! Most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen have been here in NM.
@@Birdbike719 So lovely to hear. I kept saying to myself, how can skies be so different, sort of like is this my imagination that it's striking me so. I will cherish the time I've had and hope to return soon or at least hopefully in Oct. for the balloon festival. Thanks, Linda!
Love hanging out with you, and Sadie. ❤️🙏
Thanks for watching!
The weather has & is wicked wierd everywhere. Hang in there my friend. Have a blessed week 💖 🌟
Thank you for watching Karen!
The sky at night must be full of stars
We used to have a black GSD that looked a lot like that boy, but his tail was not curly. Sweet memories.
Loved this video. The camp did look kind of sad and lonely
Carolyn if you get by a Family dollar or Dollar General buy some Mean Green! It does a really good job on about everything except glass! Bleach in hot water is mainly what I use with dish washing liquid does wonders! We've lived in RVs for round 16 years! We love it!!
Hi Carolyn and Sadie..
That was some fierce winds...glad y'all made it through..
I have been sick with an upper respiratory infection with walking pneumonia for a month and half... Breathing problems also...coughing..the works.. For the most part I am over it..Thank God!..I was under Dr care but did no good.. still took along time... Be careful you don't end up with what I had ....being around dust brings on the coughing I found out..
Any who....we are planning a trip out in N. M...maybe Roswell... was looking at weather there yesterday.. Happy trails! Stay safe and well.
I'm sorry to hear you've been so ill. Sending healing thoughts your way. Safe travels and thanks for watching!
@@CarolynsRVLife Thanks Carolyn..
At Home Depot they have the aluminum panels that you can adhere to the ceiling over the stove which can work better for that area.
Love NM. Originally from there and would rather be there but my husband and kids are from Fl.I visit every year. Be safe.
The magic eraser come in sheets now and I think it's 10 to a pack that way it doesn't feel wasteful when you throw one away after s couple uses
Sweet Sadie.
I was raised in NM, who knows how many times I have been to that area. I don't think you can contract Valley Fever there. The Roswell, Ruidoso arers better. The area around Santa Fe is nice.
The other dog looks so much like our family dog growing up
But he was a a German Shepherd and Weimerramer mix.
Resolve makes them ceilings look new
Yes you make sense to me why because I am going through the same thing in a sticks and bricks I saw that vlog where you were in Arkansas using the Flex seal well I went to my local home Depot band that shit is hella expensive! Went to the Dollar store and bought some random crap there yeah. no bueno results 💂 plumbers have torn all the ceilings yes ceilings from the downstairs restroom living room upstairs restroom bedrooms two of them in the he garage ! 🤕 had water for an hour a day then no water no toilet just now we do 🙂 yes! any anyways I enjoy your channel been a follower since the Matilda days and Capone I enjoy watching the different states you travel to and the food you prepare well have a great day Carolyn and Sadie 💕
I like the shelf idea. If you took the stereo out you might get some storage room.
A little expensive but Sharkbite fittings work great. I got mine at Lowe’s. The only time In had a problem was when I didn’t cut the pipe straight it was just enough off that it didn’t work and caused a leak. They also have the tool to remove the sharkbite fittings I think it was under a dollar. You are doing a great job.
Use neat lemon washing up liquid on you grease patches first then wash off
For a definition of 'running rings around someone" just attach this video! That was SO freaking adorable! There's always something going wrong, eh? But scrubbing fuzzy ceilings? Wow. I knew some of the fiberglass trailers had those but not RVs Bummer. Like shag carpet, it's time should be over. I admire how willing you are to try to learn things. When the crimper didn't work you just hard wired it - why not? I know you know how to do that safely and you learned something new. ; that the crimper sets suck! :D Gotta go, nice to see Sadie making a friend.
Wow scary winds
Try vacuum Sadie!
Hi C! Suggestion for greasy area. Dawn and water.
I was thinking. I think those tin tiles would great or those snap together wood thingies then you can just mop.your ceiling.;)
Good job, taking on the splice and install yourself. Zeus and Sadie really hit it off! A little bleach now and then is a good thing! Thanks for sharing New Mexico!👍😎🇨🇦🐾
You’re welcome Marian, thanks for watching!
Now I don't feel so stupid anymore. Watching you with those MC4 adapters made me realize that I will have to get rid of mine too. I cannot deal with them and I admire you for trying. You're an awesome person, Carolyn. I LOVE your videos.....learn a lot from you as well. Thanks and God bless you. Lots of love to you both from Cape Town. 🇿🇦💝
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Sadie's zoomies are the best! Hugs to you and Sadie.
Some of the best meals ever made were made with "whatever I had leftover in the fridge", don't ya think, lol? 😊
Carolyn, I was stationed at William Beaumont Army Medical Center at Ft Bliss and went to college at UTEP. El Paso was an interesting place, but I'm glad I'm now in Oregon. And, that white sand got in places I won't mention. LOL
😂 Thanks for sharing with me Kimmbberr and thanks for watching!
Awww a Sadie look-alike, male doppleganger! She really wants to run and play, doing circles around him lol. 🤗.
It is funny how prices go up and quality goes down. From sponges to most groceries. Everyone is cutting back on cost ,and we sure feel it.
Hiya Carolyn, if you make it to the ABQ area there is a green chile cheeseburger in your future.
You are probably already aware (and someone else may have already commented this), but be careful of H2S in the oil field. Safe travels ❤
Take out the radio and use that space for storage
Thanks you my friend see you soon kiss to both of you
There is such a diversity in landscape in N.M. I just love it there. The weather year-round is so comfortable. Southern part in winter and northern part in summer. Lots of open land ,and you won't see Trump banners anywhere. Easy going people. Still affordable anywhere in the state.
here's a idea about your kitchen ceiling above your stove area ,i did this behind my stove cause of grease splatters and it helped . i used contact paper but i left the backing on it i just stapled it up so i could take it down if necessary .it seems to work well so far and there's alot of different colors and prints to choose from and wiping it off is a lot easier then wiping off a fuzzy ceiling .still don't understand why they do that it is silly and very impractical.. hope new mexico wasn't to hard on ya it can be a little breezy here at times . have a great day.😎🌵
🤔 hmmm…thanks for the suggestion Debra!
It's a lot better but what about taking some paint that you can wipe off and clean it that way you can paint it and then you could when it gets grease or whatever on there you just wipe it straight off it's supposed to work good try it and see it might be a good thing for you anyways give Sadie a hug pretty cool keep the videos are coming
I'm not a fan of barren land, its so empty and dry. I like green or bits of greenery. But thumbs up to you for experiencing this for all your viewers. Now find us some colour water and mountains. Lol
Take care and safe travels.
🤣 Stay tuned…you never know what’s next!
I have the same RV and my fuzzy ceiling stays CLEAN!!! Never gets like that.?
I love gorilla glue!!! Fixed a plastic piece on a radiator once. Lasted 2 years.
corporations are not people! good call too many forget, blessings always!
Sadie was running circles around Zuez🤣🤣 Can't wait till your book comes out! Didn't know you were an army brat. I was in the army. Didn't know you have a brother, I have a brother 🤣🤣 He's quite an ahole though, unfortunately 🤣 Maybe gorilla glue on that pin hole would stop the leak? Maybe one of those medal T-shaped shelf holders would hold up the stereo door? Sadie all snuggled up was the perfect ending💞🐾💞🐾
Fuzzy ceilings are as bad as popcorn ceilings, I so detest them, or like the stucco walls inside a home really sucks especially when you rub up against them and they tear the skin off your bones...lol
Such a good girl Sadie!
Replace the valve 🤔😉
This is my home base
ooooh Roswell watch for aliens lol
Great video. I love your videos. I was wondering how many miles to you on average drive a week?
Thanks for watching! It depends on what my goal is/where I am headed. Sometimes a few hundred, sometimes a couple thousand.
Sadie is literally running circles around Zeus!!
I look up to you that you can RV on your own
Love your videos your a very sweet lady Carolyn to bad if ever your around Louisiana would love to meet you
They're saying more water ......😄
