The Journey Begins............

A new "look", a new home, a new schedule, a new outlook on life-RETIREMENT is just around the corner. On June 2nd we drive our Country Coach out of the dealership to a campground nearby. For a few days we will be reading manuals, pushing buttons, moving levers, attaching hoses, and other such tasks as we learn all about the RV which we plan to live in full-time for many years. By the week-end we hope to be proficient enough to travel from North Carolina to the Quad Cities where we will camp the months of June and July while Hunter "wraps up" his last career days at John Deere and we share precious moments visiting good friends.
In August we will return to North Carolina for Christian's first birthday party and Hunter has been asked to help stain decks, wash two houses, and build a fence. During his first month of retirement he will not be idle. Ha!
This past year has been a time of many decisions for Hunter and I. We feel we are definitely headed in the right direction; anticipating "stretching adventures", shaking off tight schedules, looking for volunteer opportunities. It's time to spread our wings and fly!
