Monday Morning and Time to Leave

Sunday night was a hoot with the get together at Rollie and Gina’s house. The skunk attack and the sound beating that we received from the women was our high lights for the night. Now it is Monday morning and time for us to gather I belonging together pack them away and get ready for our journey to Tyler Texas.

Sherri and I  got up about 6:00 am and made our coffee. We poured the first cup and sat down to visit for a short time in the living room. Soon the computers were drug out and we slipped off into our own little world in cyber space. We have this time apart to gather all the information on our dear friends near and far. Sherri on Facebook and me on the journals we compare notes later to see if either one of us missed anything. It is so good to have all of you out there reporting on what is going on in your lives so that we can follow you through your adventures. Even though we are creating our own adventures with Dreamers we still like to know what all of you are doing from day to day so we can share in your fun. We comment sometimes and then other times may not but we do read and enjoy so many journals of so many friends.

What a wonderful life this is…being out and about traveling and enjoying new found friends and sharing time together visiting…exchanging stories…and making memories that we will carry through time. All the years we were in the hustle and bustle life style…working and trying to gather up material things to make us happy… and later finding out that those things were not what made us happy at all. Then spending all that time working hard to pay for those things…not realizing how much we were missing in life. Now that we are living this life style it all comes clear to us that being with kindred spirits and sharing adventures and ideas is really what makes us happy. Wow, if only I had known the feeling I have from this experience years ago… I could have staged my life so differently. I have to thank the good Lord that I did wake up early enough to make the shift in life to do what we are doing now.

I have read were people write about holding off until the right moment in life to shed those shackles of worldly endeavors. So many set time frames and goals so far out that they will never reach the one thing that will set them free. Life has no guarantees…you have heard that too often…but it is so true and you must reach out and grab the opportunity as soon as you can so you have time to really enjoy it. I cannot tell you how much fun Sherri and I have experienced just in the last few days. Spending time with friends sharing our lives and laughing about our problems and mishaps that at one time were devastating our lives but now are put behind us and shaded over by a new adventure with spirits of the same dream.

I could go on and on about this…but until you get out there and experience this for yourself you will never understand what I am writing about. Only those of our number that have “Gathered” together really get it. 

How many people do you know that “Dump Together”. Yes that is what I said Dump. Sherri and I were getting ready to leave for Tyler on Monday so I told Rollie and Mike that if they needed to they could borrow my honey wagon to clean out their thanks. You see here at the COE park we have no sewer connections. Rollie told me that he would appreciate that and he would call me Monday morning before I left and set up a time for us to dump together.

 

Yes Rollie, I don’t know when I have had so much fun. We should do this more often….Sorry Mike is not here to join in the fun.

Rollie and I pose together before our trip down to the dump. Most guys would be posed with a deer or a stringer of fish….but not us we have our Honey Wagon!

We got the dump thing done and then we parted ways. I told Rollie and Gina that we would be leaving about 2:00 so we would see them Wednesday about 4:00 when we returned from Tyler. Rollie thanked me for the dump and I was on my way.

Mike had told me that he thought that he and Leslie would be OK until we returned so he would not need my services. Well as things would have it Mike checked the old gauges Monday and decided to drive over and borrow my wagon. He would not get my expertise help, however, because about this time I was deep into loading up to leave. So I gave him a 2 minute block of instruction on how to dump and sent him on his way. All is well and no stories were related to me about any mishaps. Too Bad!

We got hitched up and decided to pull out about 1:00 and as we were pulling out Gina and Rollie pulled up on their bikes.

 

We almost missed them and were glad that they came when they did.

As things would have it they followed us down to the dump to see if they could witness first hand a mishap with Speedy at the dump site. Too bad gang no problem today…but stick around ol  Speedy…because you never know when things might happen…
