dosbeagles Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Chris, I believe you mean "we the sellers"! That is great news. S&B homeless is a GOOD thing for us FT'ers. One less thing tying us down. I know we were concerned because we moved in on May 2nd, but did not get an offer until June, and closed in July. Those couple of months of double payments were stressful, but now that's done. We are staying in the area until Oct 20 when the RV Park closes for the season. Wife retires Sept. 25th. This should give us sufficient time to get her pension checks started, and finalize any last minute details. Some time early next month will set up a mail forwarding service. We have settled on St. Brendan's Isle in Florida. Our first long trip will be to Ocala Sun RV Resort in Ocala, Fl. We will arrive on Nov. 1st and stay there 6 months, then who knows where we will be heading. We have not decided yet. Will be looking for some workkamper or volunteer positions for next summer. Perhaps we will see some of our Forum friends on the road. If any of you happen to be at one of our posted locations, look us up. Fat fingered typing. Had to clean up the post of typos. DW & I both have a little bit of a summer cold so we are going to delay a day but what is one day in the grand scheme of full timing. In 10 or 20 years who will care if we left on the 15th or 16th.

dosbeagles Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hey Chris...so happy for you. I know it's been a roller coaster ride, for sure. One more thing...my mother was a Clarke with an "e". Hey, you never know. We could be related. As we call it in the south...'tater patch kin. What kind of dancing do you do? Wife and I are square dancers.

Dance Chick Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 What kind of dancing do you do? Wife and I are square dancers. I taught tap and jazz in a studio setting. I still tap with an adult group and teach very part-time at the performing arts high school in Lakeland. I'd love to square dance. I've done it a few times a long time ago. It was great fun and good exercise.

dosbeagles Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well funding is delayed until Monday so we have one last weekend on the side of the bouse. Also gives us a couple more days to get rid of the colds we got before leaving. Looks like Tuesday will be the day.

Congrats OkieJ, I highly recommend Northlake RV resort, if you're looking for a place on the north side of Houston. We stayed a month in June while we were transitioning from the sale of our house.

okiejules58 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks for the tip - ronwar. Our daughter lives in Pearland - which is south east Houston - so we think we will try Advanced Rv park in Pealand first. Then head east along the coast! Its very exciting.....but a little scary too. We are in our mid 50's and just gave up two careers but I have a feeling this new lifestyle will be worth it!!

okiejules58 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Since we are new to this forum - I went back and read the last 10 pages or so of comments. I got so caught up in Dos Beagles saga that I could not stop reading! lol Thank goodness for a happy ending Chris. What a roller coaster ride! It took us about 8 months to get our house sold and I agree with some of the others - we will never be buying a house again. We have done it 5 times and it is too stressful trying to sell. The new home now will be our Coachmen Encounter motorhome - hopefully for many years to come. Is anyone going to the Good Sam rally in Atlanta in October?
