SPRING? and MEMORY LANE
Can Spring be far behind? Even the Valentine Flowers that we gave each other this February '07 have a special glow about them. Isn't it funny how in the Fall when the temperatures dip in to the forty's we grab for the big coat, bundle up, and exclaim brrrrrrrrr! Now when the temperatures finally make it from the negative numbers we leave our coat off, step outside, into the forty's and exclaim, heatwave!
What helps to pass the time and make our forced winter stay a little more tolerable is the almost daily trip down "memory lane". I have always been one to lean back, close my eye's, and take that trip back in time. Lean back, close your eye's, and follow along with me for a moment.
Very first time we laid our eye's on our new home in Missoula, Montana. What a thrill it was after many months of planning, dealing, etc. At the moment of this picture we had not seen the inside yet!
View from our front window on our first day and night in our new coach, camped at a KOA in Polson, Montana.
Road leading up to one of the most incredible boondocking spots we will probably ever experience. To the top of a rock quarry. Leading to what will be our very first camping (boondocking) experience after returning to Wisconsin with our new home.
Here we are at the top! This setting and the week-end we spent here were pure magic. The temperatures were in the upper 90's. There wasn't a sole around for miles. This was our first real try with all the systems of our new home and it was a week-end I will never forget. On a scale of 1 to 10, it was a 12.
Robb Park, Gays Mills, Wisconsin. We spent many weeks this past summer and fall of '06. Most often we had the park entirely to ourselves. We had 20 amp electric on site, with water and sewer nearby. Just to the right out of the picture was an old Dam and the gate house that controlled the flow of the water over the Dam. The sound of the cascading water over the Dam and the surrounding scenery were beyond description. We got to know many of the people in the community and are very anxious to return for future visits.
Already there are so many memories, and it is wonderful to be able to just close my eye's and travel memory lane. I have a hard time speculating what the future travels and experiences have in store for us but I can't help but think that we will seek out memories that will add page after page, picture after picture to this new chapter in our lives.
We have every intention of sharing it all with you! Thanks for coming along.
