Year Four

As I write, it is Memorial Day. The Park is usually filled with people, but it has been raining off and on through the day. Some hardy souls are braving the elements and trying to be joyful, sprinkled with dashes to dry spots during the downpours.

The month is now finished, and not much to tell you of interest. We are doing the same kind of work, office, this and that. The fellow that was in charge of building the new Kiosk (at the entry to the Park) had a massive heart attack and died. That left us to carry on with the building. It is still not finished. We are waiting on windows and doors.

Both Carolyn and I have been down with bad colds. That took up half the month. We haven’t been out and about much in May.

It is hard to believe that I started writing this blog three years ago. For the first couple years it was a weekly, then a monthly. When we were traveling and having completely new experiences, we had lots to share. The traveling has been suspended for awhile in favor of volunteering in State Parks. We are now normally stationary for three to five months. We don’t want to bore you with the mundane activities of our stationary life, so we are going to suspend the monthly blog for now.

We will keep the blog up, and when we travel or have otherwise exciting experiences, we will let you know and share it with you, but it will not be a regular monthly. As we start year four of our nomadic life, we still have the same joy in our experiences. We still meet new and interesting people, and enjoy each new experience. In short, we are happy with our life!

So, I share some more pictures of the Park with you, a scene of Camp Will-A-Way across the lake, a view of the tennis/basketball courts, and finally a picture of us during Carolyn’s birthday at our son Don’s house. The dog, Lucy, belongs to Don.

That is it for a while. Enjoy the cartoon.

  1. I don't know about everyone else but we want to hear about the boring, mundane, and stationary lifestyle you both have. Otherwise, you have to hear ours ;-)
    I'm sorry to hear about the passing away of the gentleman who was in charge of the kiosk or that you both have been down with colds for such a long spell. It's been terribly hot here in Jax, Fl. so hearing someone say they've had a cold is, well, "northern". I'm just glad you both are up and about even if it's in the office doing, "this and that".
    Since I returned from Australia in Oct. I haven't been competing and we haven't been camping at Steven C. Foster SP. No work and not enough money to afford the fees. I've got a few job interviews lined up this week and hope this all changes.
    I'm not sure if you call it RV'ing but a family I know bought a 44 ft. cabin cruiser and is heading up the intracoastal to New Jersey for the first time tomorrow morning. I'm very interested in hearing about how the new boat does over the long course; it's only a few weeks old and hasn't been broken in yet. Yikes!
    Happy 4 years blogging and you both look fantastic. We're very glad you're happy still doing what you can do. Please don't wait too long to write again Everett, we heard that with- holding information can make one crazy. Big hugs from two who can't RV... yet.
    Eric and Candice
