'21/#6 Normal? Not Us!

 Well, here we are, one third into year number two of the pandemic. Things have gotten better and things have gotten worse but like we can always count on, things have changed. We feel very fortunate that our family hasn't been infected with the Covid virus, few of our friends have been sick but recovered, and that most of the people we know have or soon will be vaccinated. There have been no deaths close to our inner circle and for that we are greatful. And life goes on.

Our winter season in Florida is coming to an end and we have been preparing for our departure in the next few weeks. We finished our workcamping job and have been concentrating on getting our home on wheels ready for the road. There is the usual maintenance to be done on the house side and the maintenance check list on the vehicle side which includes service on our truck. Then there were the few modifications we made to the living areas that make it our home.

Tommorrow we leave for north Florida for a rally of Grand Design owners that will last four days. We are looking forward to meeting and sharing experiences and ideas on the ownership of similar RVs. We will be wearing masks, washing hands, and social distancing while enjoying gathering with other people.

After the rally we will be back in Zephyrhills for a week and then our trek north will begin. It may sound like things are back to normal, and it is going in that direction, but we are not there yet. Mary and I have both been vaccinated and will follow all the Covid avoidance protocols to stay safe. But are things normal? Normal has never been a term that has applied to us and that is not about to change any time soon. I feel that if we and everyone else does their part we will get to a new sense of normalcy but I don't think things will ever be the same as they once were. The only thing that stays the same is that things will change.

I will say good bye from our happy but not necessarily normal home here in Zephyrhills Florida because.....

Home is where we park it,

Frank and Mary
