We're home

We arrived at home Sunday afternoon around 5:15 PM. We had a marvelous vacation. The best I have ever had. We got to see so many wonderful things and meet so many wonderful people. We've talked to a number of folks at the various campgrounds we stayed at and were surprised how many live full time in the fifth wheel trailers, called full-timers. We came home from this trip really wishing we could join this group of folks who live and work in their RV's 'cause the responsibility of taking care of what they call their 'Stick and brick' house was requiring more work than they wanted to put into it.

Since we have lost our home as did many early this year, we are now renting a place. We are paying for a place that will never be ours. We work to maintain a place that will never be ours, 'cause it belongs to the 'Land Lord'. We hold no animosity towards our land lord, we are glad they had a place for us to move into. None the less, we have felt for the last 7 years, that less is more. But, for now, we need to keep a place for Katie to be safe until she gets moved out on her own. After that however, if we can figure out a way to full time and keep the bills paid, we might very well do this. Most fulltimers have jobs, so it is not like Carol and I won't be working, but all of the people we talked to who are full timers, are a very happy lot, and we would love to join them. But, it will take a while to get there. For now, we're home and getting back to life as normal.

Happy Camping! - Eric -
