We've now been home in Pennsylvania for several weeks. Thanks to our 1000Trails membership and our TRA home park in Gettysburg, we've been able to travel from one to the other with minimal expense. There are seven 1000Trails parks in PA alone which makes it nice for visiting the family and grandkids.
It's also nice to have two home bases, one in Pennsylvania and the other in North Carolina as we head to NC as soon as the weather turns cold and the leaves begin to change. I like the snow, I just don't like the 2 and 3 feet of snow that Eastern PA gets on any given day over the Winter. While in NC we may see 2 or 3 inches and it's generally gone in a day or two.
Recovering from a hospital stay in April and a pulled muscle in my back in May, June seems to be the month I may just get on my bike and start to exercise again after a long winter nap. We will be visiting with family from out of state in a few weeks. Our daughter and husband bought a house in the country so we will be helping them settle in and our newest little grandbaby is growing so fast I can hardly believe my eyes.
I miss my children terribly but they are grown and living their own lives as we are living ours. I would not have it another way. They were only ours for a season, we dedicated each of them to the Lord many years ago and the time has come to turn each one of them back into His care and trust that we raised them to make good and right choices in life. We are proud of them, each one, probably more than they will ever realize.
It's been a great journey these past three years. I never want to stop. Many living this lifestyle...this vagabond lifestyle, park the RV at some point and get a little house or apartment somewhere, then waste away on a rock and roll chair staring out the window wishing for a mountaintop view, a babbling brook and crackling fire. I hope to live my last days, if the Lord tarries, by the fire, listening to the brook that overlooks a mountaintop where I meet God, and he waits for me there...
