Four Years Full-Time
We are now one month in to our fourth year full-time in the 'tininthewind' and excited to see what the next four years will bring. We have had some health problems to deal with such as Kathleen's hip replacement at the moment but our little home has served us well during the recovery process and we expect this time to be no different.
I like to reflect on the many miles that we have covered, and the multitude of new back yards we have awakened in but the most important aspect of this lifestyle to me has been the many friends we have made in our travels. Friendships that develop in a hurry because tomorrow one or the other may be moving on. Friendships that grow stronger through the marvels of the day such as contact through e-mail and/or skype. There will be many more Friendships made and we look forward to that.
We have learned to look ahead and plan accordingly. We have also learned to keep our plans fluid just in case we want to go left instead of right. The beauty of having wheels on our 'wheel-estate' I can't begin to describe. We are always in awe of the opportunities we had yesterday, and wonder what they will bring tomorrow. Most importantly with family scattered all over the place we can point the nose to the Midwest for that hug from mom (yes my mom at 87 is still doing well), or point the nose to the northwest for that grandkid fix which is so important at this stage in life.
I am looking out the window now at our beautiful Mississippi River flowing by like we did from our stick home of 37 years and yet my feet are feeling itchy. We will move tomorrow a little ways up the road as we continue to await Kathleen's hip surgery day on the 25th of September.
