On the Road Again

May 10th  Mother's Day Sunday

After 60 days in our "Real Life"  we are thinking about the road again. This past 60 days have been "amazing", the word I use whenever anyone asks me "how is the Real Estate Market"...Amazing, always amazing.

We came home to all the chores of not being at home for 3 months. Huge piles of 3rd class mail, like telephone books...no end to that it seems.  We dumped most of Lark's personal belongings into the guest room.  Along with a few Christmas Items (20140) that didn't make it to the attic in mid December.  A new friend on the road told me to use the guest room for storage.  Eventually we won't be home long enough for company anyway! Just shut the door. Works well.

Had to get back to work quickly. Sold another 10 houses, closed the two I sold on the road, so we have the till filled back up again.  Harsh reality is...no money, no gas, for the Lark...no gas anymore for $2.00 a gallon...

Oh and Ed had a minor heart attack 10days after arriving home. Our joke is now, surely there would have been hospitals in Alabama.  I know there was not one on Dauphin Island. Thankfully Ed is just fine, with good intervention and drugs we drive on....

Have to live life like you are dying.....seems reasonable. I think that is what "bucket Lists" were made for.  Scary stuff; getting older...does bring life into focus.

So.... Everything back out of the guest room and into the Lark.  Only putting back half of what we took last trip. We are organized for some shorter jaunts this summer. Hard to believe our first year anniversary as RVers is coming up.

So, back to  Mother's Day.... had a sweet breakfast with family, then Ed did the "readying the Lark" chores and I shopped, cooked and gathered clothes and  photography equipment for our first 2015 trip to the Worlds Biggest Week in American Birding.  We have been attending this Bird Festival for many years. It is the Spring Migration of warblers and other birds heading north to Canada, Alaska and the Arctic.  Birders come from all over the world. It used to be a local event, now hundreds of thousands of birders come to Magee Marsh to see the birds. It is only 100 miles from our home.

Again, there are some days Glamping feels like Camping...pull out of the driveway and adventure looms and the fun begins.
