The trip south was uneventful and only took about 2 hours. The longest part of the trip was going the back roads to the Interstate. Once on Interstate 49 it was smooth sailing all the way to Lafayette. There we took Interstate 10 to exit 100 and proceeded south to Abbeville RV Park.
The park here is not a resort by any means but it is quite and we have room to move around. The sites are gravel and they are spaced far enough apart to extend your slides with no problem.
The electric is good and we do get good TV reception on antenna. We do not have our Dish Network installed yet so that is not available.
Sherri will have to head out to work tomorrow and she is not thrilled with that but then who would be. She only has until December of this year and then she can retire and not have to worry about getting up for work.
I on the other hand was put out to pasture by the company while Sherri holds a full time position now. They only use locals for the stores. This is their way of saving money and putting many of us out of a job...isn't that how it is going all over the USA!
Well I have plenty to do...just wont be bringing in any money. I owe so much back to the government now that I wont receive a SS check for 3 months! On top of that I will owe tax on my SS too! Wow what a deal I signed up for. Paid into a system for over 50 years and they are still taxing me and making me pay some of it back??
OK nuff of that. We got hooked up leveled up and slid out. Now we can relax...no wait we have to go to Wally World. We have never been to this one so we have to go! I wish we could collect stickers for Wally World visits. I would have many by now and maybe I could get a free cup of coffee if I traded them in?
Well better kick back and watch the Good Wife.
Tomorrow holds a list of things to get done...
Somewhere in Time

They call it Retirement but you can be busier now then when you were working fulltime. We gave up so many things while working, family time, rest and relaxation, but mostly sleep, and constantly pushed ourselves to accomplish things that needed doing. Now the difference is you can change the pace to a more human speed.
It's about time.

Sorry about all the taxes. That's one reason we didn't want to work on the road. You can work only if you get paid in cash then put that under the mattress, our parents had a good thing going. No Govt can follow it.
We're still hoping to get your direction this fall. I've got hitch itch, but Jim is just fine. (so far). I hope you stay busy!
You know you're in America when the working people get screwed over again and again. All I can say is enjoy your retirement and take care of as much stuff at home as you can to take the load off your wife since she's the one working full time. Next year you'll both be FREE.
Some good eating around there, we stayed at Betty's for a week a couple years ago. Fun place. Enjoy, you kept man! Hugs
