RV’s are for the old more mature people that love homes on wheels so that we can cruise and kick back wherever we please so long as they have a few amenities that we can hook up to. Bill and I love riding bikes, but we also like some comfort and we have been looking at the motorhomes that we can carry our bike and scooter in.
Retirement is a time that should be enjoyed, but with the cost of gas it’s getting harder to travel around in any sort of comfort and see the country the way we want to. If we can find a used RV that will accommodate the bikes then we’ll be happy because we will be saving gas money by using the bikes to sight see when we stop.
Motorhomes have been the seniors ideal way of traveling and viewing the country for many years because it was always economical and even younger people with families have viewed it as an ideal solution for traveling and saving on the vacation hotel and motel bills. Having special time together by camping out a bit has always been viewed as an idyllic family time.
I checked the site above and I will keep my eyes open because we have to keep all our options open when looking for any type of motor vehicle or RV type, especially if we are looking for bargains. Money is limited for some of us while others can afford brand new, which is great, but we prefer spending the money on bikes and the Grandkids. I do sincerely wish everyone a Happy 4th.
Are we humans ever happy with anything? I’m going by my own history and other humans that have shared different parts of my life span. Many times in my life I have wanted something very badly whether it was a toy, camera, a piece of clothing or whatever and then when I got it maybe I used it a couple of times and then decided I had to have something else pretty badly and wouldn’t be content until I got that also just so I could discard it too.
I have noticed this pattern in many people during my life time and have come to the conclusion that it’s more fun to anticipate than to actually possess. There are exceptions of course, like my computer which I use all the time and love and the same can be said of Bill. Not that I use him, but I certainly do love him and love to spend time with him and I can’t ever imagine wanting to discard him or getting tired of him.
I wanted my scooter pretty badly, but since I’ve mastered riding it I have decided I want a real motorcycle now so I can go faster and be a real cool Nana instead of a wuss that rides a sissy scooter. Better watch my mouth or typing rather because I’ve seen many men riding scooters and I certainly don’t want to offend them. Bill loves riding my little scooter because it’s like a toy to him after this monster.
I have gotten better with age though as far as learning to be content with what I have instead of always wanting something newer and better except for wanting the bike of course and I don’t count that. I see that as a new learning experience because I’ll have to take the test and safety course and learn how to shift gears, so there’s much for me to learn. I would love to ride the freeways with Bill and take a trip on our bikes, that would be so cool.
My son called over the weekend to let me know that Ethan David may be here a month early. He also said they had to give steroid shots to help develop the baby’s lungs or maybe I misunderstood that part. I’m not a very medically inclined person, but Bill’s daughter is a nurse and so is Eric’s wife and Bill thinks because his daughter is in the medical field that the knowledge rubbed off on him, so he tries to explain stuff to me.
I never really thought I would ever be a biological Nana so I’m really thrilled and can’t wait to see what he looks like or who he takes after. I have been gathering baby stuff together for our visit and I told him to call and let us know when she starts labor so we can be ready to jump in the car and go. It’s kind of hard to ask for vacation time when we don’t really know when the baby is going to be born.
I wanted to be there when Ethan is born, but just so long as he’s there and healthy when we get there I’ll be happy. I hate that they live so far away because I wont get to see him very much and watch him grow. I’m very happy that Jodie let me be a Nana to Nate so Nate will always have a special place in my heart. I’m pretty sure Eric will call me Granny to Ethan because that’s what he called his, but I like Nana and I don’t feel like a Granny.
I didn’t get to be Nana to Bill’s two Granddaughters because Chris’s Mom wanted to hold that title. I also didn’t want little people calling me by my first name so I picked my own name that would be easy for them to use, Ju-Ju. Jodie is also going to deliver a little girl August 19th by cesarean so we’ll be here for that. I was concerned that the two births were going to coincide, but it doesn’t look like that will occur, I would hate to miss either birth.
