Our Wheels Are Bogged Down

 

Just because you have decided a retirement life moving around the country in an RV beats being stuck in a home on a permanent foundation, doesn’t mean everything will be different and you can become footloose and fancy free.   Being back in Washington, we have definitely discovered that is the case.

Then, this is what I got from Lee and Sabrina!!  They said I was worth it!! I spent the rest of the day figuring it out.  I’m so excited!  No more books to carry around and fill the motorhome’s shelves with.

I had a wonderful Mother’s Day.  It started at the crack of dawn with a text message from Sabrina with her Mother’s Day wishes.  She always gets up with the chickens …. and everyone around her does too.  Lee barbecued the most fantastic and perfect steaks.  We have never, ever had better steaks than the ones he does on charcoal with assorted wood flavors added to the grill.

  

This was a darling Mother’s Day gift from Michael and Sandi.  We're going to hang it on the wall.

Monday came and it was a trip to the airport in Portland again for Terry’s return dental adventure in Phoenix.  Then, a visit to my brother who recently moved into a retirement center and a stop at my aunt’s place who is celebrating her 92nd birthday today!!  

Here’s a motto for you to follow … be sure you qualify for whatever you feel you do, before you jump into anything.  Why do I say that?  An aggressive associate assured my brother he qualified for a specific program prior to moving into their retirement home.  He has discovered he does not.  We need to find someplace else for him soon and move him within the next few weeks. 

Just because we decided we wanted to hit the road in an RV, doesn’t mean the wheels don’t get bogged down occasionally.  We’re going to be around here for a while.  However, even though we have things that need to be taken care of, I’m sure we will find a few close places to “vacation” to.
