Nothing big or earth shattering has happened since I  last updated this blog.  Thanksgiving and Christmas came and went rapidly.  We spent both here at home with our kids.   Our extended family is becoming dispersed and it’s no longer possible for us all to spend time together at the holidays.  I go to work.  I come home.  I plan for the future.  I watch the nervous-nellies in the stock market wreak havoc with my 401K.

The one bit of interesting news we have is that we have just ordered our Lance travel trailer.  It’s scheduled to be built and arrive in 4 to 6 weeks.  It’s going to be a bit of a financial strain until we get both cars paid off but we’ll swing it.  We bought a Lance model 1995.

The hunt for the right travel trailer has now turn into the hunt for insurance, storage, accessories, etc.  It should keep me off the streets and out of trouble for the foreseeable future.  It’s a new chapter of life that Cristy and I can’t wait to start enjoying.  We’re going to take some small camping trips locally to learn the ropes or RV’ing.  But later this year we’re going to take a road trip to Missouri to visit my mother’s grave.  That will be the true test.
