The Honeymoon is Over

You know how when you get that job you've been wanting, or made a change in your life that you've been looking forward to for so long; you feel on top of the mountain , you've accomplished your goal! Then the newness wears off and it becomes the regular everyday again. Well I think I have slid down that hill and reached level ground for now.
I have pretty much settled in; and whats left to do isn't all that exciting or pressing.
The kids and grands are used to me being here now and everyone is getting back to their lives, as they should ..... and so should I. I am realizing more as each day passes, I am longing to follow my dreams that were basically put on hold as I became tied up in making the move from Kentucky to Pennsylvania. I am beginning to dream again of far away places, days being away from the crowd, and just enjoying peaceful aloneness. I find myself searching the RV ads almost daily for a possible trade.

I needed to go into WM today for some waterhose repair.... (yes I did .... I ran over it with the mower :-/ ) and some groceries. I happened to see an Itasca RV there and stopped to talk with them. I could see it was an older model, perhaps '90's, but longer too. Of course one of my first questions was "How many MPG do you get? and "What is the length of your Rv?" Well they get 10 mpg and it was a 24'. I was telling her about the "bathroom " in mine and how you have to stand in one spot in the shower. She got this pitying look in her eye. Guess I won't mention that again. Anyway they were just back from overseas, picked their RV up in PA, and were on their way home to Alaska.
I am just writing all this here to record my process of going from point A to point B. Talk to you all later. Have agood week. It's going to be a hot one :)
