Christmas has passed and the new year is begun. Our visit home was an adventure, as expected. The time we spent with our kids and grandchildren was priceless. If I could change anything; it would be allowing our living conditions for those two and a half weeks to NOT control our mood and attitude. Next year things will be different, definitely different.
Moving on...January is spent in the Sandhills. North Carolina is our home for the winter months. We love it here, love the people, love our church, love Sycamore Lodge and all the tall wispering pines, the 'Big House' the lake, our site by the pond... We will be spending a few weeks in South Carolina, Myrtle Beach relaxing, Greenville visiting family and Yemassee exploring new territory, but we'll be back to the Sandhills in March for a month before heading North back to Gettysburg and closer to the kids for a few months.
Writing for Suite101 has been an outlet for me. I love our life on wheels and enjoy writing about all the aspects of it. Barry tinkering with his trains, doing ebay and writing is how we are enjoying retirement at the moment. Down the road...who knows, we may try some work camping or camp hosting and stay put for a longer period of time, but for now we love the move every two or three weeks. It's as if we are on a perpetual vacation. I never get tired of planning the months ahead, where will we go, what will we do, who will we meet??? Life is an adventure and we are so blessed to be able to live it in this way.
This year 2012 should prove to be an exciting year. Politics and religion I feel will dominate as we move ever closer to the return of the Lord. Soon and very soon we're going to see the King and I for one am looking forward to the day when the things of earth grow dim in the light of HIS glory and grace.
