Since we have begun another New Year I have felt the urge to begin blogging once again. For the friends we had following us last season, we owe an apology to you for suddenly dropping off of the cliff, so to speak. We started the summer months relaxed, rejuvenated, and refreshed after traveling last winter. All was going well and suddenly we were hit with several challenges that did not allow time in every day to accomplish all that was needed to be done plus allow the time for blogging. In looking back I should have at least written a temporary "dear John blog". I know that probably we have all been there and done that ! Needless to say, we hope you understand and will continue along with our journey of 2013. I mostly need to thank our family members that hung with us through a difficult summer and became my safety net. I so appreciate the calls, tears, laughter, hugs, and prayers.. The dust has settled and I feel as though we are back on track once again.
Bob is doing very well after having an emergency Carotid surgery. It was very unexpected and he has bounced back and has gained remarkable improvement in his speech and cognitive skills. I see glimpses of the man that I married emerging once again. Hallelujah !
I am very thankful for the close of 2012 and the renewed strength to look forward to a much better 2013. Welcome back to our little corner of the world, we hope you will enjoy our travels once again.

Welcome back BS! So, are you in Ocala now?
ReplyDeleteHi Judy...yes we finally hit the road and are tucked away in Salt Springs...what a great spot. I see you are getting close to your surgery. I will be sending thought and prayers your way. I know you will be glad to have this adventure behind you
DeleteSo good to hear that things are looking up. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon. Thanks for putting the welcome mat out. It will be good to continue the journal again. I have had to scale down a bit and I recognize this needs to be written for enjoyment and future reference. It sounds like you and Bill are about to take on a fantastic new adventure. We will be anxious to follow along
DeleteSo glad to hear you are both well.. wondered and hoped that all was going well..
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori, we are doing well and I hope that our invisible friend "Murphy" finds a new home. I see you are looking mighty good yourself young lady !
DeleteGlad to see your back in blogland. I was just pondering whether to check if everything was okay again. Since your heading south Kathy and I will have to do the same to be closer to you. Be Safe and Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt's about time.
Richard and Kathy, We are back a bit later than we had hoped but then, of course, we are not the ones in control of this time on earth. I am glad to see that you are on your final hours before hitting the road. It looks like the weather is going to cooperate for you.
DeleteSo happy to see you back! You are not so far away from us!
ReplyDeleteMichael and Dee, We are just a short distance away aren't we? We have found we very much enjoy being here and will likely stay put for a while. The only draw back is the cell service is very limited, however, that may be the greatest unanswered prayer, so says Garth Brooks,
DeleteWondered where you had gone. Glad to hear things are looking up. Having been through an unexpected medical crisis I know too well how overpowering they can be. Salt Springs is a lovely place. The cell signal is better over by the barn but as you say limited service is sometimes a great excuse to relax and not have to answer. Wishing you both the best.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry. I am so glad to hear that things are looking up for you and David as well. Life certainly takes unexpected turns. We are enjoying Salt Springs very much. By the way, as of yesterday, wi-fi has been installed throughout the park. I have managed to also get limited cell signal inside our coach... Will you be returning this winter?
