Yeah - you  have some awesome photos to scrap! Welcome home. How is your hip holding out?

Welcome back Debby looking forward to seeing your photos on your gorgeous LO's  

Welcome back! 

Hope it lasts for you. Had a knee shot that lasted 2 years. Will keep fingers crossed for you.

Yay! Happy camping! Hope it boasts all Summer long, at least.

Hope you get long lasting relief and can fully enjoy your summer trips. 

So sorry to see this.  Sending good thoughts for convenient scheduling, uneventful surgery, and fast and total healing!

My neighbor just got one and he said he is now so happy to have gotten it done.

Welcome to the club. Sorry to hear you are in pain. I can sympathise. I have been on the wait list for my surgery since October. I hope you are done more quickly. We don’t have private health insurance.

I think you are about to embark on a fantastic adventure! Have fun!

How exciting!

Have fun on your adventures and look forward to seeing your LO's  

Camping - oooh that sounds lovely and visitors - heaven! Enjoy every moment!

Good luck with your recovery! It's such an infectious disease—doesn't take much to catch it!

thank you for your well wishes, I am feeling better- kids are healthy now, husband is back to himself, I quit dragging myself around- I honestly thought we had a bad cold, but hurt all over and my heart kept skipping- headaches- very glad to feel more alive. I watch mom (she just turned 86 on Christmas) with her Alzheimer's - she acts like she is barely awake, sleeps and doesn't finish her food. She told me she wants  a baby to balance things out, she hallucinates, but I thought it was endearing.  Our younger children really are good at entertaining her. My little kids and her are an odd mix, but they are a gift to each other. The Lord knew how much we would all need each other. Thank you for your kindness!

Ah that sounds good about you and the family - sad about your mom, but she has grandchildren to make her feel good. ❣️

Congratulations! How wonderful! We can't start getting it until March so are hanging out for that! In the mean time we have to continue our vigilance and protection. My daughter and her partner will be released from being locked down on Sunday so are looking forward to finally celebrating a very delayed Christmas! The tree is still waiting with presents underneath!

Lucky you. Based on the current estimate it will be sometime between June and September for us.

Glad to hear you were able to get it so soon. We hope to get ours sometime later this year but it will still be months away. 

We had a great time. Good food, good conversations and a few laughs, just great meeting.

That's great! 

So glad for you!

Merry Christmas Debby and the happiest New Year to you too!

Merry Christmas to you ?

Merry Christmas and a Happy and healthy New Year!

Happy Thanksgiving, Debby!!

Happy Thanksgiving Debby.

You are certainly making good use of your new RV.

Sounds like you are having fun!

I guess update won't let us link

Hi Debby, I see a way to post a link - so here it is!
Photo Swap Challenge

The USA is so huge with so much to see, glad you got to go. We took one month to see relatives in the deep South drove across, it was hot and beautiful this summer- our kids (all 6 of them) enjoyed the RVing. Several times we stayed at Walmart parking lots, worked out well.

Welcome back! Your trip sounds fabulous.

Well, I guess you now have the best of both worlds, Debby! I think my husband is past travelling such a long distance overseas! He'll probably only travel in Australia from now on, especially since the pandemic has shut us off from the rest of the world for the foreseeable future! Life can be cruel sometimes but we are so grateful to be healthy and happy! That's all one can ask for! Enjoy your camping!

I love ATC’s mini art pieces.

It looks fantastic. Enjoy the change.

You will get to see so much of America that is inspiring. Have fun traveling! After traveling across this great land for a month with 6 kids in a 30ft RV I really appreciate the bathroom the most  and the comfortable bed.

Happy Camping Debby, looking forward to seeing photos of your travels  

That little baby?  Happy Birthday to him, time sure does fly.

Awww happy birthday to him  ❣️

No idea. My oldest son will be 18 in less than two months! Eeek!

Thanks!!

Take care Debby and be careful in Florida.   Wishing you safe travels south.

Safe travels Debby  

Safe travels, and do stay safe! We'll be thinking of you.

AWESOME! I can't wait to see it.

I hope you have so much fun RVing!

Looking forward to your pictures!

That's amazing, your new adventure is waiting for you, can't wait to see you where it will take you!

Awesome! Congrats to her.

Congratulations!  

Glad she is getting a live graduation.

Really?!!  Why, though?

30 years, hard work, very expensive and dock friends have changed. They are doing dock upgrades here and the yearly summer rate will be going up $1,000 per summer, winter rates too and shrinkwrap already went up.. We also want to go back to camping to see this beautiful country.

Congratulations!  We have to meet up some time and camp together!

Wow, that is the end of an era! We borrowed an RV and travelled across America from Las Vegas to Florida over a two-month period in 2007. It was really thrilling and we were so impressed with the magnificent RV parks with so many facilities. Our favourite was the Outdoor Resort on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina! A chance meeting with a vet led us there as she had three spaces and lent us one of hers. We arrived at the same time as the PGA golf tournament and scored free tickets to watch for a day! One thing that we discovered consistently was the kindness and generosity of our fellow travellers.
