Good Morning Carob, Beth and all,
Carol, you summed up the holiday moods of many of us very well. We all think of passed loved ones at this time of year and the traditions of the holidays we had. But even though we may not see them and not be able to do the traidtions we once did, they are there in spirit, because we remember them at this time. In cases where out of town children are involved, they carry some of the traditions along with them, of how they spent their holidays at home, and they in turn will start those traditions wherever they are and if they have children of their own, they will be passed down. Just as it was from our parents to us. The cycle of life goes on.
A cloudy morning here this morning. Nothing earthshaking in the weather forecast for the next week. I'm getting my appts. and so forth whittled down slow but sure. Today is yearly checkup and then probably a few stops before heading home.
Keep looking at the local RV dealers lot here when I go by to see of that little MH is still there. Yep. Not that I am going to buy one right now, not ready financially, but guess I just want to see how long it stays there. It's about 22ft. Shasta. Either 2000 or 2002 I think. Looks really nice from pictures I saw on the website. On consignment. At this point I am not sure just what I want in terms of RV. Maybe a small van camper or perhaps Class C. If I were just staying in MI, I probably would get another TT perhpas, but I want to travel out west and not sure I want to pull a TT alone, altho others of you do it. I know I can just hear it "c'mon chicken, if we can, you can"
Oh yeah, was wondering if anybody out there has had experience with a WiFi antenna? Am kind of looking into it as I can't get the WiFi into my unit up north there due to cement block walls etc. Kind of thought maybe an antenna will pull the signal in stronger as I can get it if I go outside and closer to the location of the router, keep it until i go back in my place and poof, gone.
Well, I'm outta here. Not going to waste your time talking about nothing this morning. So wishing you all a really nice day.
Many prayers go owt to yew...AND Red, THANKS for "venting"--no, not venting, rather sharing what many people are feeling as the holidays approach. What to say? We were raised in a society that still lived & loved within the extended family. Now, the love is still there, bt we're a society of great mobility, & loved ones are miles apart...Okay, what I'm trying to say, I'm thankfol for all of yew. I've been transient most of the past 20 years & lately realize the loneliness of it. To find others in a similar state, well, that's where y'all come in...Bottom line: yes, we can begin new traditions, bt the memories of gramma sitting in her rocker & smiling, well, they are always there, heart-warming, yet awakening a longing that brings tears to one's eyes. I read Bether's description of walking her dog (don't remember which topic) in response to someone's poignant comment abot the faithfolness of owr 4-legged loved ones. Don't know when I'll stop crying having read that. Almost 10 months since I lost my beloved Bo, & thinking how he was everything to me & my reason for even waking on Cmas morning--or any other morning....Got my HarBor now, got my sisters on this forem, gotta get on with those new traditions, like it or not 
, gotta get on the road! 
Y'all have a great, safe day!
