'24/#9 People, Places, and Things

 Our travels have us criss-crossing the country this year. Our first stop was in Elkart for the trailer upgrade which falls in the category of "things". We are on our way to White Sands New Mexico which would qualify as a "place". 

The past few days we spent in Baytown Texas. A dear friend of ours, Tommie, passed away a while ago and there was going to be a memorial service while we traveled.  It was a no brainer that we would be there. She and her husband were one of our first workcamper bosses. We got to see her husband, Burnie, and the rest of their family and friends. These are the "people" we make a point to see in our travels. We were welcomed by everyone in the same way that Tommie would have. It was nice to know that her influence will continue on through them. The world could use a few more Tommies!

As we've mentioned before we are not in a race around the country. Our days are usually around 300 miles and at a leisurely pace. We don't have to leave at an ungodly hour in the morning and we are settled in for the night in time to prepare dinner. We then relax watching some TV and read before calling it a night. We wake in the morning refreshed and ready to start the new day. We don't get burned out traveling and that is one of the reasons we have been able to enjoy this lifestyle for fifteen plus years. My point is that it is going to take us three days to cross the great state of Texas.

Well this is the end of my blog from our home in Fort Stockton because......

Home is where we park it,
