Very Busy Preparing for Future Travels

Well we have been very busy the last couple of weeks. Our son, Jared, and his family have decided to try living in our house for a year while we try out fulltiming. We are trying to meet a Dec. 1st timeline for them to move in. We plan to travel for two or three months at a time and then come back home. We have a concrete slab, RV cover and utility pole here in the yard that will be our home base.
They will take care of the house and property while we are gone and we will help out when we are back. If we are both happy with the arrangement after a year we will continue fulltiming and they will buy our house. Meanwhile, Barb and I are sorting through nearly 37 years worth of things. It is funny how things that a few years ago we couldn't part with now have little value. We met with a contractor today to get some work done on the house that we have been trying to get done. We need to finish putting new siding on the house and have a true master bedroom and bath built. Since the rooms in our house are small, they will push out the wall on one bedroom and also the utility room to make a master suite. With this short of a timeline and the weeks lost in my recovery, we are going to need help to get things done. When we leave for the HitchHiker tour to the Smokies, International rally and tour of Lincoln’s birthplace the second week of September we will move into the fiver for good. It will be easier to work on the house without us living in it!

Tomorrow we will go camping with our Good Sam chapter to take a break from the work here. The club is going to Vidalia, LA, just across the river from Natchez, MS. I will try to post some pictures from the campout in the next couple of days.
