Saturday, one more day, then we hit the road.

 Picture of the day

 
The condos above our side has garage door open

The rental condo on the left. You can see one was taken in summer the other in winter See our trees.

BUT for now:

One thing we will miss after moving is the fire-ring and swing. I have plenty of woods here to gather fallen limbs for great fires.  Sherry and I both enjoyed the fire. It is a spot to reminisce and look forward or just to talk. I hope to find a good place for a fire ring at our new home.

Something else we will miss is solitude and a restful place. When I bought this land (about 4 acres) 35 years ago to build on, even in town, it was all woods. The one thing that I tell folks: The twins, Josh, Stephen and I were walking thru the woods just after purchasing the land,. As we walked thru ducking limbs, looking at trees, etc, I heard, “WE love being in the forest Grandpa!”

I also bought the road ending & it’s connection to the next street.  Making this a dead end street. Therefore we are in town but get no traffic.  I built only 3 houses and these two condos here. The condos are still ours. Builders now in this town, would put at least 8 to 12 units here.

Funny that, our next house is NOT in the city but has much less privacy. LOL WE have owned this next house before. WE bought it for our ‘RETIREMENT Home’. WE put an RV shelter behind the home. Parked the coach behind and remodeled the home. WE enjoy the RV so much we never moved into the house. Our Granddaughter Sherece bought it and has lived there 5 or 6 years. SOOO now we are getting the house back and Sherece is moving into this condo.  The other condo we will keep as a rental.

This is the house we are getting. It is an older home added on a few times. LOL

This is an old pic of the back yard to the home.  When this pic was taken we were living in the RV and remodeling the  home. But this RV port is what I am anxious to get back. LOL

All that aside, once the ‘fussle’ of moving is done I am sure we will be happy.  Well at least for 4-6 years, that has proven to be our limit. This is the longest we have ever kept a home. Sherry says it has been about 25-30 years, but it was rented out at least 22 years of that, while we lived on-the-road in an RV.

I guess we ARE pretty much Gypsies, we travel like wealthy folk, on average citizens income.

Nite Shipslog

PS. 

When I think of what I said about living in the next house 4-6 years, maybe I should reconsider that, WE will be in our 90s then. WE will have to quit then, right?  LOL Thanks for stopping by the Shipslog.   Your TIME IS APPRECIATED
