Allow me to introduce you to "The Maeve-mobile". Yep. You guessed it. My greatest fan, supporter, and push-wife-out-into-the-crowd person is at it again. Namely: My Darling Husband - DH for short.
We bought our RV this summer. It's an integral link in our "five year plan". You see, DH and I are at the point where we're actually beginning to see the light at the end of the day job tunnel. That shining beacon known as retirement.
When we came across a good deal on an RV, we decided it was time to purchase our retirement home on wheels. Of course, DH said he'd drive it to all of my book signings when I became a rich and famous author. I joked by saying we could call it the "Maeve-mobile" and have my website and tagline painted on the sides.
Well. It's not paint. It's professionally done graphics by Satis-factions. (If you're interested in all sorts of promo, here's their link: http://www.satis-factions.com/graphics/graphics.htm They're uber-affordable.)
Anyway...I guess this will teach me to be careful what I joke about around the DH.
It puts ideas in his head!

That is so dang sweet! Love it! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is SO awesome! I love it! It's great that he is so supportive.
ReplyDeleteBest -
Hi Rebecca - As you well know since you got to meet him at RT, he is a MESS!
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer - Yes. You're absolutely right. I'm a lucky woman to have such a supportive hubby.
:-)
THAT IS AWESOME...no other way to say it. Your husband rocks.
ReplyDeleteAww. That's so sweet. Please don't tell my dh he'll get ideas.
ReplyDeleteYep! He's a pretty good feller, Dominique.
ReplyDelete:-)
Shhh...I promise, "Lynn". It'll be our little secret!
ReplyDelete;-)
Wow! Great publicity! Your husband is sweet!
ReplyDeleteYou're so right, Roni! He's a sweet old bear.
ReplyDelete:-)
Maeve this is so sweet, it's the biggest Valentine I ever saw.
ReplyDeleteXXOO Kat
Absolutely, Katalina! Our 32nd anniversary is next week - this is SO much better than a card.
ReplyDelete:-)
Maeve that's great! Thanks for the inspiration. My parents did the same thing at the start of their retirement. With the current market, I may wind up skipping mine. I will be watching for you on the road. It sounds like you got a good guy, There are so few of us left. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteWow! That turned out great! I really love the one on the spare tire cover!!
ReplyDeleteWOW, I'm so impressed. You've got a great supporter there. As far as DHs go from stories I've heard, he is a jewel in the crown. GO YOU, Maeve.
ReplyDeleteLOL! So true, Derek! I'm glad I got such a good guy because you're right - ya'll are scarce as hen's teeth. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is soooooo awesome! What a fabulously supportive husband and what great promotion! I love the script and the logo design on the back!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike! I think it looks AWESOME *insert angelic choir here* ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour van is so cool!! I'm going to keep my eyes open for it on some highway when we're on holidays.
ReplyDeleteYou're a lucky woman, Mauve!
MAEVE!! I'm....so....jealous!!!!! My dh would never do something like this. My goodness gracious, how perfectly wonderful. He must love you a whole bunch! Have fun in you RV, and much luck with those book signings. Celia
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Paisley! You're right - I'm a very lucky woman. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMaeve, it's just like Christmas! Your dh never ceases to amaze me. He is so incredibly supportive! I am so happy for you. I'm also glad you see the light at the end of the tunnel--retirement, that is. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rechelle! I'm tickled with it. Jasper and I keep going outside to look at it. :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Mimi! If you see us rollling along - honk the horn and wave so I know it's you.
ReplyDelete:-)
LOL! Thanks Celia! I may never end up being a "monetarily" rich and famous author - but I'm already UBER-rich in many other ways.
ReplyDelete:-)
Hahaha! Thanks Victoria - I keep "going toward the light" and always hope it's NEVER a train!
ReplyDelete;-)
Oh MY!!!! Maeve, what a promo.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess he's a keeper (and the RV, too).
ReplyDeleteWell that knocks the socks off a Facebook page! How utterly awesome, Maeve. I can see it now: "Coming soon to an RV park near you..."
ReplyDeleteLOL! That's what I thought, Mona!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Yep. I think I'll keep them BOTH, Brinda.
;-)
Well said, Pat! You stated it perfectly. :-D
THAT. IS. MEGA. AWESOME!!!!!! What a sweet, sweet man! Talk about hero material! How fun for you.
ReplyDeleteThat is soooo sweeet! Mine would die if that was on our RV. You will go many places my dear.
ReplyDeleteFrom DH I put up a good front. But I do love her very much. (She's my early retirement)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Thanks Calisa - but as you can see by the "Anonymous" comment - he's also a RASCAL!
ReplyDeleteAwww...thanks so much, Nena!
Mr. DH Anonymous - I shall speak to you later about putting comments on my blog! ;-)
WOWWW!! That is absolutely stunning Maeve - what a gift, and what a gift of a man you have : ) Congratulations on the upcoming 32 years too - wonderful stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, LaVerne! I'm rich in lots of ways - a rascally sweet hubby, two gorgeous daughters, and an UBER-AWESOME granddaughter!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it Maeve!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nina! I'm tickled to death with it. :-)
ReplyDeletehaha! Maeve that is SO awesome! I love it!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! Thanks Joanne! Isn't he a rascal?
ReplyDeleteMaeve, your DH is so romantic!! :-))What a great way to show you he loves you!!
ReplyDeleteI know, Jan! He's an awesome guy. *happy sigh*
ReplyDeleteYour husband is a keeper and sweetheart to be so supportive!
ReplyDeleteRV looks great!
Oh my, Maeve--is he a Leo, too? (They always do things on a grand scale, lol.) What an awesome gift! Just showed mine your pics--he's already asking if I want one like it.
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you're in my area :)
Thanks Marianne! Yep. He's definitely a keeper.
ReplyDeleteLOL! No, Joanna. Actually, he's a Libra. Perhaps he was a Leo in a past life. I'll definitely give you a shout if we get to your neck-of-the-woods. Better take hubby up on the idea while he's asking! ;-)
I guess you've already figured out that he's a keeper, huh? Lol. Seriously though, you are so fortunate to have a hubby who so wholeheartedly supports & believes in you. That personalized RV is soooo much better than getting a box of chocolates.
ReplyDeleteAlicia
You're right, Alicia! And the RV won't add a few more layers onto my "muffin tops" like a box of chocolates would. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOMG Maeve, that is so sweet that I could cry! Talk about the power of having someone back you 100%. Now that's a good man!
ReplyDeleteHow AWESOME! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great big tax write-off to me! A mobile billboard. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say that hasn't been said already? I found your camper delightfully sweet and humourous at the same time. What a conversation starter. Maeve, honey, you won't be able to go anywhere without a pile of your books tucked into a cabinet, 'cause ladies will stop and ask. Should be great for sales!
ReplyDeleteAmen Lizzie! I never would've made it this far without the support (and nudging) of my family.
ReplyDeleteThanks Molly!
Ha! And that's a GOOD thing. Right, Sarah?
From your lips to reader's ears, Vonnie!!! We can only hope. :-)
Maeve, that is the sweetest thing ever! Your DH is a keeper for sure, lucky lady. I hope your travels include PA.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet thing to do!! I too have a super supportive DH who playfully says he'll quit his day job to be my 'gofer' when I'm rich and famous! LOL I'm sure the RV is going to be loads of fun, and a source for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHappy trails!
Maeve, what a great idea and what a sweet husband. My dh is also supportive of me and of my writing, but I can't get him interested in an RV. Looks as if you're all set for the road to fame and relaxation.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Gale! If we make our way to PA, I'll be sure to look you up. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Where would we be without our supportive "go-fers", Roz?
*Big Grin* I don't know about the fame part, Caroline but I'm definitely looking forward to driving relaxation road! :-)
Wow Maeve, I so excited for you! Your husband sounds like a wonderful man and I love that he is so supportive of you. I know you will both enjoy the RV and have all kinds of fun stories to share with a promo like that on the side. I will be looking for you on the highways! ;-D
ReplyDeleteThanks Dana! If you happen to see us, be sure to honk and wave so I know it's you. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet, Maeve! You've got your own Traveling Star bus!
ReplyDelete*happy sigh* So true, Julie! I'm just glad I've got Hubby to nudge me along when I feel like cowering behind the shadow of the moon. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOops, sorry, I accidentally replied to you from my email notification!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, like I said, that is so poetic, Maeve.
:-)
LOL! thanks Julie! :-)
ReplyDeleteMaeve, your husband is adorable. That is so darn sweet. You're going to be traveling like a rock star.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sweet hubby you have!!! You better give him lots of hugs and bake him his favorite cookies!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteLOL - thanks Jill! We're looking forward to hitting the road.
ReplyDeleteHe is a sweetie, Cinderwriter! And guess what? He's even the one who always bakes the cookies. I can't hold a candle to his finesse in the kitchen.
:-)
OMG Maeve!! This is so awesome!!!! Sorry I'm late on catching up to your blog posts. You have a fantastic DH obviously!! It's wonderful he is so supportive!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Thanks Vonda and don't feel badly. I know how swamped you are for time with all your latest books. Yes...I'm a very lucky woman. *happy sigh*
ReplyDeleteI love it! But now you can never travel incognito, lol. You'll have a caravan of fans following you!
ReplyDeleteGive that DH a big hug and kiss!
LOL! Now wouldn't that be awesome, Cate? Caravans of fans? *big grin* And I've been telling hubby about everyone's kind words about him - he's adorable when his ears turn red with embarrassment!
ReplyDelete:-)
Love the Maeve Mobile and the logo on the side. Your DH rocks! What a jewel. You should keep him. lol!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Thanks Lilly! I think he's definitely a keeper. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like your blog, i learned a lot from this, your page provide much knowledgeable info. Thanks for sharing it.
