xnman Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 We are heading back to our rig. Been visiting kids.... and will this weekend.... but we are itching to get back to the rig. It's hard to believe that one can miss a camper... but for us .... the camper is home and we miss it such as it is. Like someone else said.... Life is good!! I pray my kids will be able to retire and some day be able to travel and see this great country as we have. God has made some magnificent wonders to see.... and allowed us to see some of them. Last year I was told I have cancer.... believe me, every day is something that is wonderful. Cancer is a life changing happening. Life is certainly worth the living! Live it!!!

Sandie & Jim Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Linda - you definitely need to stay safe. And driving in wind is something we don't do. Xnman - Cancer definitely does give you an appreciate of this world and everything in it. Good times with the kids but I agree - the camper is home and I love it.

etrippe1 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Here is our story: Wickenburg AZ, weekend of Nov 14 for the Bluegrass Festival there. Then a bunch of PA parks for 1 week stays in and around Sun City and Mesa till Dec 15-Jan 21, when we will be at a RV Park in Las Vegas, spending some time w/ Karla's daughter and new husband. Then we took advantage of the 1 year free membership at the Colorado River Adventure Parks, so we will be around Parker AZ for a month or so (thanks Linda). And at some point we will be heading to the Northern CA to visit w/ brother and sister there. I will be keeping up with everybody thru this forum and we will make a meet up work, maybe just not Q when everybody is there, but somewhere/sometime. We were thinking of a week or so at Senator Wash/Imperial Dam area, we here there is some nice winter time kayaking going on. keeping in touch Quote travel safe and enjoy the rideEric and Karla Trippe w/ their dog Kora always in our thoughts2006 3650 Georgie Boy Landau.. on a F53 chassis.pulling a Malibu Maxx...w/ a kayak on top (Liquid Logic Duce Coupe) 09/16 update, after 8 yrs of fting, bought a house in Crystal Lake, IL http://acoupleofboomers.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavinmh Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 You will really enjoy the CRA resort in Parker. We stay there a lot. Probably will be there right after Q for a least 2 weeks. We will then go over to Acton CA at a Thousand Trail park then back to Parker maybe. A lot depends on when we have to be back in VA to start our Corps of engineer job.

sandsys Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I'm now in Durham, NC, at a program where I have to be up about 7 am every day. Since I normally sleep 3 am to noon, my body is acting as if I have have jet lag. Not fun, but getting better as the days pass. I'm hoping to be able to get well enough to join you all in Q and Parker this winter but I'm making no promises yet. Or ever, probably--that jello thing you know.

ccsimpson Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Gosh, I can't believe it is time already to be heading to Tucson for the winter again! We sure made a grand loop this summer! We are stopping in Mesa Nov. 1 for some repairs. $$$Ouch! Then on to Tucson. Today we head to Kanab, UT, to see some places we haven't seen before. We kept barely missing meeting with fellow SKPs! When are some of the rest of you going to be in southern AZ? Where will you be staying? Linda, hope you are getting better. Sandie, we will have to make some kind of plans to get together. What is your estimated date to be back in AZ? Carol Quote The Simpsons Fulltimers from Va.

ccsimpson Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Thanks Sandie, we enjoyed seeing you guys. Would be nice to get this topic going again to see where everyone is. We are "camping" in RV Renovator's lot here in Mesa going on 3 weeks while getting repairs done. Hope to be in Tucson for the winter after this week. Anyone else already at their winter destination?

sandsys Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I'm on the road again. It got cold enough in Durham, NC, to have to run my furnace a lot and my solar panels couldn't keep up with the demand of the furnace fan with all the overcast and mostly cloudy skies. So I'm headed south. Whatever that means. Probably will go to Rainbow Plantation and sit there until I figure it out.

cherl Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 The beet harvest is over and the new Techma Silence Plus toilet and the Michelins for the coach are in. So the two week stay at the beach is over. Sure glad to get out of the rain and head for the sun of Yuma once again. Plan on going to "Q" for a week, so if anyone is near the Bluebird circle, will stop by again this year to say "hi".

xnman Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Well .... here we are ... still in Florida. Been here the whole year of 2014 and will stay thru the winter. But one fantastic note.... I had another pet scan and psa .... and I have been found Cancer free!!! I have to be tested for quite a while ... but the radiaion treatments and all that I went through worked!!! It was a life changing moment when the doctor said..."You've got cancer and will die if you go on that trip." We had planned a trip from Florida to California to Seatle Wa and then a cruise and then tour Vancouver Canada. But it didn't happen because of what the doctor said. So we stayed in Florida.... went through the treatments... I changed my diet and some other things... and what a relief to hear the doctor say..."I would say you are cancer free." I thank God for giving me and my wife this blessing. And I thank all for their prayers. God is good and the life God gives us is good. I love it!!
