Home Is Where You Park It

Well we are well into our second week as full time RVer’s. We have been busy arranging the camper and finding some more things we have found we can do without.  We have been busy in the mornings trying to make sure all our mail and banking info has been changed to electronic and addresses have been changed. When you are living this way, there are a couple of unique things to deal with that we haven’t had in the past living in Ringgold. We have a physical address and a mailing address so when you make those changes you have two address to use and some people only want one or the other. But it has come together nicely. Paula has been attending a water aerobics class with some of the other ladies on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 1:30 pm. The pool is heated and with the warm weather she has been enjoying the class. We also take time to take a walk around the park every evening after dinner.

We have had a little time for some relaxing this week and were able to make time to go out Saturday night for a date night to a burger joint right on the water. We also did a hike in one of the local waterside parks.  We hope to take the kayaks out either this weekend or first of next week to do some exploring on the water.

Never can tell who you might see in Cedar Key

On Sunday, we visited a little Baptist Church on the Island that was a white wooden frame building that was established in 1891. It still has an old pendulum wall clock on the back wall that looks like it has been there since the church was built. It still works and reminds everybody of the time as it can be heard ticking all over the church.

We continue to learn new things from the more experienced full timers. On our first day to the laundry we had our plastic hard sided baskets which we lugged to the coin laundry. While there Paula began a conversation with one of the other ladies and quickly learned that our baskets while they may be fine for stick built house living are too cumbersome for the RV. She was kindly informed that Wal Mart carried a collapsible laundry basket which is both light weight and easily folds up for storage.  She also observed a basket of tennis balls beside the dryers and quickly learned that a tennis ball or 2 placed in with your dryer load helps fluff the clothes for quicker drying which is important when the dryer is a dollar a pop.

One thing for sure our home is where we decided to park it for the night.
