Update from Maine

     Hello All...Well from California I headed back to Texas. I found that California and I did not mix well if I was going to survive on what little made and going to school. So was back in Texas and ended up in the hospital for a couple of days. While there I had the realization that I was out in the middle of the USA with no family or friends. So the next leg of the path or journey was to move back to the east coast.
     I stopped in CT thinking I would stay there. All it ended up being was a recursive event. I had come back to the area to settle and there was no work to be had. No family there either. My daughter had moved back to North Carolina. So I still was with no family.
     I was able to reconnect with my mother and my brother from CT. Which was nice. I later reconnected with my daughter Lindsay and my son Ben in New Hampshire. I visited up there and found an RV site for the summer. So moved up there. I figured being close to family we would be able to see each other from time to time. Which has been nice.
     Since being in ME. I was able to take part in the birth of a granddaughter from Ben and Misty. Lindsay is due in January 2008. Also, Melanie in Oklahoma is due in February 2008. It has to be something in the water. Lindsay and Melanie both are having boys. That brings the grandchildren total up to 10.
     I had been all over the USA this past year or more and had looked at land in all areas. I even bought land in Oklahoma, but never considered buying in ME in the past. So now I own 21 acres in ME. I have some good plans for the land. I am so looking forward to moving things forward with the land. As for the mean time I have moved into a year round RV site and am digging in for the winter.
     Many things needing to be done for winterizing. Skirting completely around the bottom so that no cold air blows underneath. Also, insulating all the lines. The trailer stays pretty warm and then the next little issue. Steam on the windows. So a dehumidifyer needs to be added to the list.
     It has been a while since I have updated this blog. Sorry for the gaps. I will do better in the future. I have internet access now. It's not as good as I have had in the past, but better than nothing.
     So that is all for now. Many blessings to all that read it.
