We both are getting tired of this part of Florida, and are ready to head north now. Can't wait to hear more about the news of the house.owensontheroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076915620668491771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-76909521936695295362014-03-30T16:18:23.951-07:002014-03-30T16:18:23.951-07:00Hi Merikay, I have been following your blog for aw...Hi Merikay, I have been following your blog for awhile now. My husband and I lived up off of summit roadfor about 15 years. Our children went to Loma Prieta schools. We were also there thru the earthquake, lost everything and rebuilt again. Not sure where your house is located but loved hearing about the area thru you from Camp Driveway. We are also in the process of selling our house here in Alabama so we can be full timers as well. I think you stated you would be in Florida this winter, we will also, maybe we could stayin touch and plan to get together.

We came in a smooth way and are not too far from the highway in order to have good internet. <br /><br />I wish I had shown you this area. I think you might have liked it a bit better. Hopefully, we will meet on down the road, once more.

And, like you, we felt it was important to tell the whole truth and nothing but.

We never thought we'd be in AL so long but when you feel good, why move!? Now the storms have begun and we must leave soon...concrete block buildings are on my radar for Spring travels indeed!!

I'm not a fulltimerr & probably never will be but your words were spot on for any of us. Be present where you are. If it's not a good fit, move someplace else.

As much as I love the desert (which is a whole lot) I'm not sure I could handle the heat in the summer time. I'm still looking for utopia and I'm afraid it doesn't exist. Too cold, too hot, too windy, too many storms, too many earthquakes - and on and on. Which makes having wheels the perfect way to live.

If you don't particularly like a place, move on or if you fall I love with a place, stay as long as you like. That's why we hardly ever make advanced reservations. We wouldn't trade the many years of raising children and careers for anything, but it sure is nice to have time now to just do whatever we want to.....life is good Merikay!

Being able to follow the weather has got to be one of the greatest things about having your home on wheels!

We love the north Georgia mountains in the summer and fall...but sure wouldn't want to be there in the winter. <br /><br />We have found for ourselves that it takes a little while to get in the groove any place we go. The Keys is so different from the mountains, but we managed to make them both work. We were talking last night about going back to the mountains (as we were sitting at a fun bar in the Keys). Al said he would miss the happy hours, but I reminded him the GA happy hours are on our golf cart looking for bears, or sitting in the hot tub. Different, but enjoyable too. I'm anxious to see if you like the Keys or not. You either love them or you don't.Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-51361064225772863972014-03-28T19:06:03.486-07:002014-03-28T19:06:03.486-07:00Loved this, Merikay.

You know I love the desert, but I would NEVER want to live there full time. It is why you full time, you can enjoy it all when you want to do so.Sue Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332448503740101970noreply@blogger.com
