We survived another Thanksgiving y’all! The leftover turkey is carved up into easily stored to-go style containers, the family has wandered off to their favorite Black Friday spots, the grandkids are probably watching cartoons or movies, and now it’s time for a nice, brisk sit. We all have our favorite ways to relax, but today I thought I could give you folks, specifically you RVing ladies out there, some suggestions that you may not have thought of.
The key to getting thoroughly relaxed is to get some solitude, so here’s what you do: while your husband is at Sears buying all the Craftsman stuff he could ever need, and while your kids are out buying that 136″ flat screen TV Walmart had advertised at $49.99, and while the grandkids are curled up in front of the TV, now would be the perfect time to grab a bottle of your favorite wine, sneak the keys to the RV into your pocket, and loudly tell one of the teenage grandkids that you’re going to go walk the dog and would they look after the younger kids while you’re gone? Once they have rolled their eyes and said, “Yeah gramma!” you make your escape!
Walk quickly and quietly out to the RV, looking neither right nor left, swiftly unlock the door, flip on the lights and the AC/heater, and lock the door behind you. Close all the shades, roll out the slide outs, have a nice quiet sit in your favorite chair and pour yourself a much deserved glass of wine. This is a perfect time to purge your mind of all the drama of Thanksgiving. It doesn’t matter anymore that your daughter-in-law didn’t eat any of your stuffing, or that your son-in-law insisted on telling awful jokes all through dinner. It doesn’t matter that your husband didn’t lift a finger to help all week long. None of that matters now, all that matters is you’re alone with your wonderful glass of wine, it’s quiet, and nobody needs anything from you… because they can’t FIND you!! Haaaa Haaaa Haaaa! Happy Thanksgiving!
