Oh boy, let the adventure begin! It is the 7th of January and we
are close to beginning our next chapter in our own book of life. Two more doctor visits and a quick stop to
get the rig inspected for the purpose of registration in the State of Texas and
we are on the road again. We have been
living in the RV right next to our former home.
It has been sold and is now owned by our daughter and son-in-law.
We will say our goodbye’s during the next week and bid
everyone best wishes till we see them again.
Nervous anticipation and excited nerves have us revved up to get things
done. I cannot believe how much I am
getting accomplished in an eight hour day.
I think I have a full load of energy each morning that lasts the entire
day. It is amazing and so different from
my 3 months of inactivity and the following 3 months of limited activity after
the surgery. Lots of fun.
The six year old grandsons (especially Shawn) will have a
big adjustment to our absence. Shawn has
embraced our living close to him and really enjoys playing with his perpetual
playmate, Bibi. We have tried to prep
him for the impending move but he has not really grasped what we are telling
him.
In order to help the change in their lives and to keep a
connection, we have purchased laminated U.S. maps to leave with them. We will then send postcards and make
telephone calls so they can follow our progress on their map using dry erase
markers to pinpoint where we are. We
hope this is educational as well as emotionally satisfying for them.
Next week we will leave and make a quick stop to visit with
the other grandchildren in Melissa. We
will make the same mapping arrangements with them. Since they are older, they will get it
quickly and there will not be the same learning curve. After watching each of them play a game with
their respective teams, we will move on and catch up with our traveling
companions.
We will spend a day or so coordinating our plans and then we
will begin the journey towards Arizona.
We will have a couple of weeks of easy traveling before we make our
landing in Tucson for a month. We are
using the extra time to allow an easy unrushed move which has built in downtime
for sightseeing or waiting out any weather challenges we encounter.
Next stop is sunny Arizona and the next blog will be posted
after our arrival.
