I can't believe how long it has been since I made an entry here!  It has been a busy time for me.

We have purchased a motor home and will be heading south in a couple of months.  Tuneups and maintenance go without saying.  Making sure the unit is sound, checking for leaks and functionality of all the important things like brakes has been time consuming.

We are also making sure that the house is ready to hit the market.  We may not list it until spring.  Yes, I know this is not the best time to enter the market, but we are not in a distressed situation where a sale is absolutely necessary.  We can sit back and wait at this moment in time.

We are anxious to be gone, and ready to hit the road. Well, almost!  I still have much sorting of things for a yard sale to do.  I am becoming a minimalist, as there is only so much room in a motor home!  This is a drastic change for a pack rat like myself.

News is so discouraging.  I have a friend who cries a lot about all the bad stuff going on, and I really feel bad for her.  But all I can do is write my congressman and hope it is read.  At least, I know I tried.
