Entering last quarter


Well, I have made it through three quarters of a century and today I start on the last quarter. It has been a wonderful ride so far. My two wonderful children have given me seven (yes, that's 7) great grandkids and above all I have three great grandchildren. What more could one ask except to have a loving husband? I certainly have that and have had him for over 54 years.

And as I thought about entering that last quarter, memories took me back in time to the fun we had with our tent camper forty years ago. We have years of wonderful memories with family and friends. Why not take a few more spins out in nature?

So, Tom and I found this used Coleman 2003 camper for $1500. We could't resist. There are National parks out there that have yet to be explored.There is so much Maine that holds new sights for us. We haven't lost our sense of adventure and I think when we lose that, we will have lost much of what makes us who we are.

Tom and I are like two young people, as we check out the heater, three way refrigerator, fans over the king size beds, crank up top and unique features that make this camper so much more user friendly than the wheel camper of the 19 65 era. Now all we have to do is wait until spring comes.

No wonder Tom was anxious for me to read this. He got quite a billing. The adventure continues. Sounds like fun. If all goes to pot with the economy we can meet at the ten acres in Wiggins and set up our commune. Spring will be here before we know it. Keep us posted. Dennis
