Well, it has been four weeks since we sold the house. Since then, the new RV has been home. It has been an experience learning to live in smaller quarters. It is also interesting to live without 95% of the things that you accumulated over a lifetime and very seldom miss something. Living just south of South Bend, Indiana this last month was good. On the nice days, we have gone to the RV Hall of Fame, the Studebaker museum, the Shipshewana Flea Market, a u-pick blueberry farm, a u-pick raspberry farm (both times Claudia made cobbler), and many trips to Potato Creek State Park down the road to go swimming at the beach or ride bikes. On the rainy days, more like monsoons, we worked on finding places to store things. The cats and the dog have adjusted well to living in the RV, but the cats hate traveling in the truck. So now it is time to leave the safe place that we have been for so long. On August 1, we leave on a trip around Lake Michigan thru Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and back into Indiana where we will stay for two weeks before going east and then south to somewhere warm. This will be the first time pulling the RV fully loaded – cross your fingers, too!
