FIND JOY IN THE JOURNEY

Getting the RV, us and our car prepared to leave for the next 3 months means we must get focused and try to remember all we're not going to need to take with us... maybe take off a few pounds of equipment we probably won't need.   Maybe it's ALL my stuff, just saying.

There's something to check off our "to do" list about every day.  This week was doctor's appointments, a trip to get a new braking system for our car to assure the tow bar and car can be attached with no trouble (definitely don't want problems there).

Leaving the peace and quiet solitude at Florida Grande is difficult because it is so large it feels like we have the entire place to ourselves.  We share our resort with a few rabbits, sandhill cranes, egrets, armadillos and alligators, but otherwise, only a handful of our friends are left.

Sand Hill Cranes - Mom, Dad, 2 youngsters

Toby the Welsh Pony - all he wants is for us to return with
a large bag of apples and peppermints

Lots of different birds love the pasture
and impromptu swimming parties

Black Angus Cattle Ranch - Next door neighbors

Breakfast time for all the birds

We have already done some pre-planning and made reservations at a few places that we enjoy staying.  I have lots of work to do and will be planning several Facebook Live tutorials as well as some other things I have in mind, most likely inside the motorhome.   Surprises!!

For the past 8 years RV has been supportive of my traveling painting classes called "ARTitude Adjustment".  I teach at lots of places when we travel, and when you get down to the truth, I might have more fun than anyone.

 Our travel gives me an opportunity to enjoy art and craft shows all over the country.  Local artisans are my favorites.  I lost count of the Hobby Lobby stores I've shopped - but we may have a national record for shopping at different Hobby Lobby locations.

the places we've been,

and the memories we've made along the way...."
