It’s Getting To Be That Time Again…

The weather is feeling chill all day, the leaves on the aspens are beginning to turn, and I am cleaning out drawers and closets. That means one thing–that Fall is right around the corner, and FabGrandpa and I will be rolling soon. In just over a month we will be going down the road again.

We won’t be going to Georgia this winter, as originally planned. Our next home will be just a short way down the road, to Phoenix, from about mid-October until Christmas. We will be helping our friends, Charlie and Lynn, sell pumpkins and Christmas trees. While we are looking a little bit forward to the new gig, we are mostly looking forward to spending some time with them.

We met Charlie and Lynn when we worked in Virginia two years ago, and feel like we have known them for a lifetime. Last year when we worked in Gettysburg, they did too, at a different place. Whenever we had the same days off, we tried to get together and do things with them.

After the Christmas season is over, we are all going to Brenda, Arizona, to a campground there for three months, maybe longer, and just take a vacation. We have been working either for pay or as volunteers without a break for 8 years. I think it’s about time we had a little fun.

    Good for you! You deserve a break. I can’t wait to see the Christmas tree farm pictures though. They will be beautiful.

    Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I answered there – but I’ll do so here, too. I haven’t been exposed – at least, as far as I know. The problems I dealt with were all between the ears.

    Karen, I am so envious of your travels…especially the Grand Canyon and Arizona. I really want to be able to do that! We just need to get a paying gig instead of just volunteering so we can afford to do it. I also have to settle with myself the fact that I will have to be away from the grandkids for 4 to 6 months at a time, which is the hardest part!
