Dave and George worked together for many, many years. Now both are retired. We, as you know, live full-time in our RV. George and Sharon are snowbirds. That means they live in Minnesota in the summer and Florida in the winter migrating between the two just like any sensible birds do.
This year they are migrating in their RV and we happened to be parked along their migratory path. So yesterday we met for a meal. That’s another thing RVers are famous for–eating!
It was fun to catch up on travel plans. It was less fun but helpful to catch up on retiree benefits and their implications. Life goes on, you know, even when you live in an RV.
Another of our Minnesota friends decided we might need a reminder as to what we are missing so he sent us this picture of his deck taken Saturday evening.
Gee thanks, Tom. It’s nice to not be one of the 200 thousand people who were without power in Minnesota. Of course, we have a generator for emergency power needs. So does Tom.
In fact, one of my favorite memories of operating Tom’s model railroad is the night the power went out. Tom lit a railroad lantern for us to use for light while he went out and started the generator. Then we went right on running trains. Now that’s Minnesota style independence!
TTYL,

Isn’t it fun to meet with fellow rv’ers on the road and especially those you already know?? We think most RV’ers are friendly than regular snowbirds.
I love the train story.
Great to see you were able to get together. Wish I was a regular snowbird.
Maybe in 5 years or so.
