There are 159 spaces here in our RV Resort. It is unusual to see an EMPTY space! Each one has a 'story' and we have heard a few of them.......
The sites here are occupied by families mostly.
The lane ends so the only cars going there belong to the RV's.....so to speak.
These campers are 'lake side' and the rent is a good bit higher.
In my opinion it's not worth the extra cost but there is only one vacancy among the sites tonight.
This is a luxury RV parked right next to a more humble one.
A retired couple travel in this home.
A young man working here in the same field as my son in law lives in this camper.
He's not home much.
The people in this rig are very much into physical fitness!
You can tell this couple have been here awhile and are not going anywhere any time soon!
I think this is their only 'home.'
This rig is for sale and as far as I can tell no one is even staying in it.
The asking price is $38,000!
I'm a little envious of the awnings.
We can't use ours because Louis Dean needs to repair something or other.
That's why we bought the canopy to use as our make shift gazebo.
I am amazed at how fancy some of these RV's are!
They sit outside in the evenings watching a HUGE flat screen TV built into the side of the RV.
Another fancy one.....
owned by a traveling nurse and her retired disabled husband.
Last month a band of gypsies lived back here.
That was pretty interesting.
Proved to be challenging for the RV Park managers!
The children terrorized a good many of the residents.
One rode their bike right into Louis Dean as he was coming out of the men's room -
and just glanced back as he careened off!
They have since moved out with other people on the waiting list taking their place -
to the vast relief of their neighbors!
A single dad sharing joint custody is a common resident.
The fathers care enough to be close to their children so they buy an RV and live close enough for the shared custody to work.
I think this is one of the most 'vintage' campers here.
It has no A/C and the windows are always open.
This camper is our neighbor.
His name is Shawn and he has visited with Louis Dean a few times.
He travels in his work and is a divorced dad of two small children.
We like him a lot and always smile when he has his kids with him because we know that's why he is here!
So he can be close to his kids!
There are rentals at the very back of the RV Park.
One lady has all her possessions in storage (located next door) and is taking a break to decide what she wants to do next in her life.
There are also a handful of RV's available to rent - completely stocked!
We pass this trailer as we come in every day.
I imagine a man - perhaps very much like Louis Dean - lives here.
He has tools and tool boxes, firewood, and pots of ivy!
Very eclectic!
All in all this is a very interesting place to live.
I just today realized that we actually 'live' here!
I am still not fully recovered from being sick with a cold and/or allergy attack so we will be going 'home' tomorrow. If I'm going to be sick I would rather be sick THERE! I can WALK around my bed there - not have to crawl up over the end!
We have packed enough food for the 7 days we will be back where we USED to live!
Always before we packed up things from the pantry and freezer to bring down HERE!!
Now our pantry/fridge/freezer there is EMPTY!
Lucy and Maggie (our dog and cat) are going with us.
They haven't been 'home' since we left there in August.
We'll miss being here but I am looking forward to being home again - this time for an entire week!
That will make it 12 days that I will not have seen the quads by the time we get back.
I asked Amber to post on Facebook and blog so I can keep up with them.
By the time we get back they will be eating baby food and moving on in their development.
On the other hand, I will get to spend some time with my other four grandchildren, see my mother, participate in a wedding planning session for a beloved niece, VOTE, and have an appointment with my doctor! She has four children and I can't wait to show her pics of the quads!
Now, the sweet potatoes I baked for supper are done and Louis Dean has poured our wine.
We are staying close to the TV watching and praying for those affected by this Sandy 'Frankenstorm!'
I hope YOU are safe and sound this Monday night!
