Rolling With The Rollie House

We're The Rollie House. Why?

Years ago, we lived in Tallahassee, FL. After I graduated from Radiologic Technology school, we moved back to Texas. Unfortunately, our oldest child was already out on her own and refused to come with us. I'm not sure what happened....I loaded the moving truck and told her to get in, there was room for her stuff, but she said NO. NO?!? Pfftt! Then, after the younger daughter moved with us to Texas, she ended up moving BACK to Tallahassee! WTH?!? These grown up kids and their "I'm all grown and can do what I want to" attitude. Yeeesh!

Anyway, we've spent the last 10 years travelling back and forth between Texas and Florida. We spent a dozen years doing that already, but now we have to do it the opposite direction if we want to see the daughters and the grandbabies. We fly or drive (13 hours!) and then stay with one of the girls when we get there. The grandbabies are used to this.

A couple of years ago, we took the RV to Florida for the first time. The grandbabies had never seen it, and didn't know what it was. We arrived in town, set up the RV and then went over to the oldest daughter's house for dinner. A while after dinner, Poppy and I got up and started hugging grandbabies goodnight. Our then 3 yr old granddaughter got very upset.

"But MomMom you just got here! Where you going?"

I said, "Baby girl, we're going home."

"You going all a way to TEXAS?!?!?"

I said, "No baby, MomMom and Poppy brought our little house with us. We have a little house with wheels that we pull with our big new truck."

The grandbaby's eyes got HUGE. She turned to her mother, and said,

"MOMMY! MomMom has a ROLLIE HOUSE!!!!!"

And so, the Rollie House was born. ;-)
