What a difference a year makes and oh, hey, Happy Birthday America!

It's been a full year since posting. We've been busy. Lots of changes. And as of late last Fall we are no longer full time RVers. No, no, no we did not get rid of our beloved ROADA. We do still plan to travel and we are in fact trying to get something built to house her. You see we became homeowners again. It's been about 9 years since we sold our last home and I guess that painfully expensive experience has faded and we had started looking when an opportunity arose near the end of summer we decided to see where it went. Lots could be said about this buy but suffice to say we did it and are hoping for better when and if we sell again. It's been odd in many ways being back in a sticks and bricks again after so many years in the RV. When you have lived in such a small space for so long having a lot of space is kind of frightening to be honest. 

Becoming homeowners again was not a decision we made lightly. In fact, we had been on the fringe of being in the market so to speak for well over a year. Just keeping a pulse on what was out there in the area we grew up in hoping for the right deal/place to come along. It's not exactly where we would have chosen to be but it seems the best place to be for now. You see we are in the season of aging parents and with more hospital stays and doctor visits this past year then I care to count or remember it just made sense to have a more permanent spot for a while. So yeah it's just us over here being homeowners again. 

Best part is visits from the daughter and family and having our own space, the Meadow. That has made the transition easier for sure. Oh, yes, this is what we refer to our new spot as...the Meadow.

Happy Birthday America! The weather was sunny and bright for the parade this year. Bee enjoyed every minute of everything that was going on. She was in a parade this morning and then we went to a parade this afternoon!

Land of the free because of the brave.
