Darla and the folks in the
North woods of Wisconsin were threatened with the 'S' word and dodged the white
bullet. BUT OLD WOODY in NY, and his sweetie got their first taste. SNOW.
We are in a camping club with Thousand
Trails. According to our membership, we should stay in Florida all winter at no
cost. BUT like a lot of 'time-share-plans' today they tend to over sell. As
usual I went to the web site and asked for a couple weeks to stay near some
friends. The answer came back 'nothing available'! WHAT? in November, never
happen. It never gets tight in Florida until after Christmas. The soonest
we could get in a site is 19 January. WHAT?
Some folk just simply lead, they do not even have to say, 'follow me'.
Oh well, we are two fortunate people. I
say blessed because we saw this coming (but not this soon) Thousand Trails are
selling more options than the Three Stoogies could come up with. See, this was
our plan when buying this house. There is room for the RV and I already have
the full hookups set for it. So when nothing is available with our RV friends,
we can come HOME!
Our sons and all our grand kids have
keys to the house and know they can come to Florida anytime they want to,
except Ben & Corey out in Utah. But they can also have a key if they want
to come out for a few days. We know how to pile up and share, even sleep
on pallets, if there is a crowd.
I was disappointed today, I spent most of
the day shopping for material and getting a tag for the trailer. Tomorrow we
will look for some furniture.
We do have a driveway man coming,
REALLY! You know the oddest thing, TIMING? Many times when we push our buggy
out from the grocer, the guy/gal parked beside us is loading the car with groceries.
Well, Sherry called the Paver to find out when he could do the driveway.
He said tomorrow. Sherry said, we cannot be here, I have a Dr's appointment. So
he said he would call back when he had another opening. I don't mind, in
the mean time I am digging across the parking area to bury pipe that I might
need if I later need to run something under the drive without cutting thru it.

only a few folk reading this can remember gas this cheap!
I saw it that cheap a couple times when this 1956 Buick was new.

My favorite picture of the corgi :)
It seems like anyone will sell more memberships than things available just to make an extra buck. When we lived in the homeowner's association in Prescott, it was connected with a golf club. They wold more memberships to it then the golf course could accommodate and more building was happening in the development. Some people just get too greedy I think!
betty
My parents own a time share. They seem to enjoy it. I just cant see buying one when you are limited on time you can go and still have to pay for a place to stay (just at a discounted price).
I dont remember gas being that cheap but I do remember 5.00 of gas would get me a long way.
Happy Friday!

Sounds like you have a plan and things are coming along really well for the two of you. Getting furniture makes it sound as if you are ready to move in and enjoy your new home. I know you love your camping friends so won't stop traveling. Here it's getting colder day by day and camping season is over. Mid October folks have to clear the water lines and put in antifreeze to things don't freeze up. I camped for years and do miss it. I wish you lots of success in the furniture hunt.
I hope Sherry's appointment turns out well this time. I was wondering if you were still staying in your motor home are your new home. I think Grover will have a early breakfast this morning since I couldn't sleep😏. Take care.Jean
Thinking that your new Florida home is perfectly placed for kids and grands, go East to the Beach and West to Disney playgrounds, easy drive either way! Sounds like you're making progress, have a great weekend!!!
Smart idea to put a pipe under the driveway. I'm always impressed by people who think ahead.
And today it's 60 out. I can't believe the weather. It's like it's all mixed up but glad we dodged the white stuff this time.
As for visiting friends, our place always has room/rooms available. Would be a real kick if you happened to drive in again. We love you guys.
I canned more applesauce today, chunky this time. Sooo good. An apple bread for dessert tonight......ya unt' sum?????
Love from up north where it's warm again. WooWhoo!!!
While the side I work for is rental, the company I work for makes no secret of the fact (that) it's timeshare driving the bus. I really feel for those owners who've been vacationing here for years, then they realize there's literally no room at the inn and call my boss to see if there's anything she can do.
Your decision to buy that little house was sure a wise move!
We set an all-time record here yesterday -- 100 (nasty) degrees. Thank God for air conditioning!
Everyone wants to winter in Florida. I think it was smart buying your own place there.
You've worked it so you can have both, plus room for all the loved ones....smart.
