We are parked at the Escapee park in Summerdale, AL right now enjoying some excellent weather. The Escapees is a club primarily for full-timers that has RV parks all around the country, and has their headquarters in Livingston, TX. Since you can make your residence anywhere you want when you full-time, they have made it very easy and seamless to establish residency in Texas. The leading states for full-timers are Texas, Florida, and South Dakota, obviously all without state income tax! They also have an excellent mail forwarding service and a long term care facility for people who can no longer live in their RV's. It's a very nice campground, large full hookup sites. They don't accept reservations, but will never turn away a member, and it's quite inexpensive.
We discovered a little "hole in the wall" restaurant driving into the park called the Fish River Grill, a tiny place along the road that had a packed parking lot at 3pm when we drove by. Well, we went there yesterday and had the best Poboy we have ever had! It was a shrimp poboy with OMG sauce. The OMG sauce is a creamy, spicy, full of crawfish sauce they put over the top of the sandwich, OMG is right!
After that we decided to do some work, we spent several hours on the roof of the motorhome trying to wash off the black mildew that had accumulated unknown to us while we were parked under the pines in Allatoona. What a mess. We really need to get a power washer up there to completely deal with it. Today we'll wash the rest of the motorhome, have our New Year's dinner with black eyed peas and greens and see if we can add a little luck and good fortune to the upcoming year.
Oh yeah, we had a meeting in Dallas with our financial person, and we may end up putting off the Feb retirement date a month or so. Boohoo. Hopefully the market will cooperate with our plans and surprise us. We'll see.

Happy New Year!!!!! The longer you put off retirement, the longer you have to wait to begin reaping the benefits of all those years of work! If you would like I can hook you up with a horse farm in Kentucky. Mow grass for a free site. Quite a deal!!!! And the people are GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, I appreciate your kind words of encouragement. Maybe I will try out the horse farm:) I hope just a month or so, with some luck the market will cooperate so we feel a bit more positive. Where will you guys be this summer?
We will be at the Odetah Camping Resort in Bozrah, Connecticut from April 16 til early November. We plan on stopping by the farm for a few days on our way up there for Dr. appointments and to see the Lady of the Estate. Maybe get my mowing fix while there!!!
