Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
“Back to the old grind,” posted a Facebook friend. We recently took a 15-day cruise to the Panama Canal and various colorful ports. After two weeks of no Facebook, no phone, and not having my computer with me, I announced that I was back amidst the online world.
As I read his comment, there was no feeling of sadness that vacation was over. There were no thoughts of dragging myself back to work. Instead, what crossed my mind was this: the old grind is pretty darn good!
Here’s a synopsis of what “the old grind” looks like today: We’re at a beautiful RV resort on Galveston Island, comfy on the site of our choice. The sun is shining and it is an absolutely gorgeous day. After breakfast and lingering over coffee, Bob went to work at the park—looking up from my desk, I see he’s doing maintenance on
the lazy river. I did a few things around the RV, and have now settled into doing some writing about RV living.
Working at the park means Bob and I can have lunch together each day. When his work day is done, he walks the couple hundred feet home. Some days, he arrives back at the motorhome with frozen adult beverages that they sell at the camp store.
We bought a new-to-us motorhome shortly before Christmas. It’s a 2014 Thor Majestic, 24-feet long, Class C. As with every other RV we’ve owned—new or used—we’re doing some remodel projects before we move in to it.
We bought the Majestic from Camping World. Oh, yes, you can bet there are stories to tell! The good news is that we are quite happy with the motorhome itself. We’re also satisfied with the price we negotiated on it.
Tomorrow (I’m writing this Friday afternoon) is going to be another beautiful day. Bob has the day off work. We’ll likely go into town for groceries; stop at the local thrift shop; and find some place new for lunch. Then, it’s Mardi Gras time here in Galveston!
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
