The next step...

Yesterday, 7/17/2014, the movers for the storage company came and picked up all of our furniture and belongings that we are not getting rid of or taking with us. It's now a little odd walking into the house and seeing it totally empty. Sad for one part of our life, but so exciting that we are about to embark on the next phase of our life. As we were giving away and donating stuff, the house started to develop an echo. When Maggie barked, it seemed so much louder than normal!
Another "next step" was to move the RV from the S&B (Sticks & Bricks) house to our local KOA campground. We did that yesterday, as well. So, this is the first "stay" of our new lifestyle. This KOA is very nice although close to the interstate, so you do hear the noise of the traffic. It's not a problem for us since we are well insulated and have double pane windows. We don't hear the noise inside and I slept like a baby last night.
 

The staff at this KOA (Link thingy) are very nice and very helpful. If this place wasn't so close to our S&B, (about 6 to 8 miles) we would have stayed here before! If you are traveling this way, we recommend it. They also have cabins and you can see part of one behind our camper. Ginny (the lady at the desk) said all you need is food and charcoal! They are fully set up and ready. I think she said $90 a night for a 2 person and $120 or $130 a night for 6 person cabins.
We will be here at the KOA for about a month. I'll retire on the 31st of July. We'll use the rest of the time to take care of local business, spend time with friends and family and say goodby to Camden County. We've enjoyed our life here and will come back often to visit. When we leave the KOA, we will head for Berryville, Arkansas. Slowly, that is, because we'll be retired!
