Taking care of Dad

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

Our home for the next 3 weeks will be in Paul’s sister’s backyard.  We arrived Monday evening and got settled.  This week was a week of learning about dad’s care, cleaning the RV and just enjoying visiting everyone.  Carol, Paul’s sister is very busy with life and her two sons are both getting married this summer (June and October).  Good thing it is sons!

Saturday evening we got to go to a Pig Pickin’ celebration for Adam & Christin (Carol’s youngest) It was a great party.  Here in the south they don’t just have a bridal shower and a bachelor party, they have multiply showers.  This one was a household shower.  They got lots of fun stuff, a wheelbarrow and cooking supplies complete with recipes and ingredients!  These kids (23 years old) are buying their first home before they get married.  Get this people from CA!  A 1500 sq. foot, 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on two acres brand new (it’s being built to order!)  $150K.  That is not the down payment, that’s the cost!!!!

Sunday I got to connect with an old friend from childhood.  She lives in Raleigh and we met for lunch!  I love this living on the road and getting to reconnect with people that I have lost touch with.

Stay tuned, we will be here until May 16th.
