Picture of the day
The condos above our side has garage door open
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

It seems to me that you and Sherry are happy wherever you are. You are to be admired and a good example to us all. Thank you for your wonderful posts Jack. So glad to have met you online.
Praying for y'all. God bless.
Your retirement home looks to be a very nice place and with the addition of covered spot to park the RV, maybe even better. It's not hard to make a fire pit so I'm sure you'll soon be sitting by one there. Hope the moves goes smoothly and you enjoy your home!
Um, nooo. You don't quit 'til the fat lady sings ... and I haven't seen any of your family/friends with any extra pounds. (lol)
Your "new" home looks so welcoming! I love those awnings.
I would love to live there and have my daughter next door. lol
You are going to be happy because you two are happy people.
Are you moving or leaving for there now?
