Picture of the day:
(Our new house to us again)
Now for today’s stuff:
I have been thinking, very dangerous or course. However, as I sit here, I still do it. As I write I am at our kitchen table. WE have our Kodak screen on the table also. Sherry is across from me. Looking at her tablet. She did have a PC, but has graduated to a tablet.
Sherry will see one of the grands or great grands, or even someone she starts thinking of, pop up on the Kodak and will freeze it there. Right now she has frozen it on this picture:

Chief Darnell. Yeah, you thought I was an old man didn’t you? That picture was only 37 years ago. So naturally I haven’t changed much, except I no longer wear the hat.
BUT back to thinking. I have had offices with plenty of room for computers, books, etc on my desk. Now, here in the RV, we make do, and we work it out pretty well.
Back in Belmont, NC, at our ‘new house to us again’, we have plenty of room. I will try to explain that statement:
Years ago we were in Yipsi, Michigan. Called up there to assist Sherry’s bro, Johnny. He was very sick. He was a bachelor. The waiting room had a computer with net access. WE owned 2 condos in Belmont, they were leased out. WE decided to find us a home in Belmont, and settle down, after Johnny was better.
I found a nice fixer upper, and we agreed to buy it. Johnny got better and we drove back to NC, bought the house, parked our RV coach behind the house and started remodeling the house. When it was finished, son Mark needed a place to live so he rented it. I had an RV Port installed, so We stayed in the back yard in the coach. AND THEN the road beckoned.
(Coach in the RV Port in the back yard)
Mark moved out to Florida and Granddaughter Sherece bought the house from us. WE had never moved into it.
NOW the LAST action on that house is, WE have traded Sherece (Our grand daughter) one of the condos for this house. So we moved our stuff a couple months ago. So we again own the house and as of today have never lived in it. That is why I say, “Our new house to us again!”
This is not what I planned to say….. So maybe I will do tomorrow.

I love the old house is new to you again. How funny, really, when you think of all the changes. And, by the way, you sure were a handsome dude!!! Great picture of you. We have all aged, haven't we? Sometimes I feel like I am 25 again and sometimes I feel like it was forever since I was young. My grandkids love looking at all pictures of me....like they can hardly believe I was young...lol. Have a wonderful weekend, Jack. Love and Hugs to you and Sherry. Diana
I've not heard of those Kodak screens, but love the idea! Diana's right -- you make a mighty handsome Navy chief. (Way to pick 'em, Sherry!) Your tale of homes (or, should I say "trail of homes") is entertaining to be sure. Thomas Wolfe was wrong -- you CAN go back home again.
I'm not sure if you two will ever settle in one place. It seems you have to keep moving, At least you know you've got a place to stay no matter where you go!
Life is a circle or so it seems! Wow.
You are handsome Jack - Sherri you did good. And a nice man too.
You were so generous with your moves and your life.
I think you'd be happy anywhere.
How handsome you look. :)
I feel like I'm young until I look in the mirror!! :)
Finally! I can get on and comment! My little ipad has been telling me to connect to wifi but It was already connected! I switched to use Google Chrome and it finally let me on.
Anyway, I think thats a cute house but might be to big for you two love birds.
And you are a good lookin sailor. I’m sure Sherry would agree.
Welcome home
Lisa
