Now What? 11/18

We made it to Texas, barely. We will be staying in Beaumont for the next couple of days and will move on to Livingston for Thanksgiving week. Then we will head south to our winter retreat in Los Fresnos, Texas (near Brownsville). It’s still chilly out though we have a sunny day. The high was only in the low 40s.

What to write about today. We are getting pretty good at packing up and setting up especially when we are staying at places like this, Hidden Lake RV Resort in Beaumont. Level concrete pads and FHU (Full hook ups) which means that we have 50 amp electric, city water and septic connection along with cable television and wifi. Today we are just taking it easy and will check out Beaumont tomorrow.

Now that I have time to write, it seems like I have nothing to write about. Up until we left Missouri, and became perpetual tourists, we were busy visiting friends or learning how to run this thing. Not much time to write. Oh, and I didn’t have a good keyboard until a couple of weeks ago. Hate the laptop keyboard.

I think maybe we are at the “Now what?” phase of this adventure. We have this thing pretty much set up the way we want and living in it is easy. The anxiety of getting into a new camp ground and getting set up has been alleviated for the most part. This whole year up till now has been about getting to this point. So now what? I think it remains to be seen. My friend, Kay said that living in retirement is about “being” not “doing”. We have done an awful lot this year and we don’t have much to do now except to get to know about the people and history of the place that we are now.
