Back to "Reality"

Well, we have been back home for about 1 1/2 weeks and are so happy to see family and friends, but miss the RV lifestyle.  Due to the warmer weather in PA, we were welcomed by yard weeds, flowerbed weeds, grass that needed mowing, and lots of pollen!  Is it any wonder I LOVE FLORIDA??????

We are slowly getting back into the swing of things and are already planning our camping trips for the summer with our friends and 1 or 2 with our children and granddaughters!  We are fortunate to have about 8 planned from April till August.  We did get a zone pass through Thousand Trails for the Northeast, so we need to make sure we get our monies worth.  We will probably take "Willie" to the Thousand Trail CG near Hershey and leave it there for a week.  Ken could go to work from there and I am hoping to have 3 of my girlfriends come up for 2 or 3 days with their husbands and Ken having dinner there with us the last evening.  It would be a lot of fun!  Due to the higher cost of gas, we will probably not travel quite as far this summer as previous ones, except for our 2 week trip in July with our friends, Sam and Kathy.  We haven't picked the destination for that trip yet, but will very soon!

We got to enjoy the Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Party for 2 of our granddaughters, Bria (5) and Cali (3) last Saturday.  Our oldest daughter and her family were there too, as well as the great grandparents and the other grandparents.  It was such a fun time.  Ken and I also went to the bowling alley to watch the birthday girls bowl the Thursday before.  They liked having grandma and PaPa help them.

Sunday we will visit Neil and Nancy Savage who live near us and we met at the RV-Dreams Rally in Hershey in Sept.  They were in Florida for about 3 weeks and we "overlapped" our camping time at Pine Island for 2 1/2 days.  We are looking forward to seeing them again and talking about our wonderful times in Florida!

I get so excited to share our adventures with our friends and family when we get back home.  I just can't contain my enthusiasm!!!!  One gal said I sound like a newlywed when I start talking about our RV trips.  Just can't help myself.  I LOVE IT!!!!


Proud grandparents have to show off their granddaughers!  When you have 4 granddaughters 5 and under it gets LOUD, but a good time is had by all!!!!

Our daughter Jamie and her husband Dane just listed their
house with Ken.  We thought this photo might help it sell!!

Sam, Bria and Cali's cousin, thought she could help too!!
