Final Gathering at the Rally!

Wednesday evening we had a thunderstorm with plenty of lightning while we were at the Theme Party.  It poured!!!!!  Ken and I had walked to the dinner and were thankful to get a ride back to Willie!  It rained a lot of the night.  Everything was so wet!!!

Howard and Linda had a question and answer session from 8 to 9 and then we had a catered breakfast in the meeting hall on Thursday morning.  Then they expressed their appreciation for all of us being there and there were lots of tears and hugs as we said our goodbyes to all the new friends that we made especially George and Jean, Jim and Cindy, Bonnie and Richard, Neil and Nancy, Ray and Carol, Leesa and Gary, and Connie and Kurt and of course, Howard and Linda.  They are such special people who are so real and honest.  Their life on the road really is an open book.  They share everything, even their entire budget.  They are definitely living their dream and hope everyone else realizes it can be done - you just have to believe and take the "leap".

Howard and Linda ended the Rally with the Rascal Flatts song "My Wish".  More tears shed! 

Ken and I spent from 11 to 5:30 at the RV Show at the Giant Center.  It was a very cloudy, cool and breezy day, but we had fun!  Actually met up with my sister, Cindy and her husband John.  They are excited about RVing in several years.  We also chatted with many of the folks we met at the Rally.  After touring dozens of rigs, we are very happy with our 5th wheel choice, an Open Range.  It really suits our style of RVing!

We started packing up Willie when we returned, but everything was still fairly wet.  Made an easy supper inside and then Bonnie and Richard came to visit.  We enjoyed our 2 hours together. 

Ken and I were on our way home by 8 AM today, Friday.  We would have enjoyed staying another day to visit with some of the folks, but I had a 10 AM Dr. appt. and we had to return home.

This was some of the best monies we have ever spent!  Howard and Linda do an amazing job and we would recommend that if you have the opportunity to attend their Rally, make it a priority.  You'll be glad you did!!!!!
