Thanksgiving is less than a week away.  As a full-time RVer, I ponder who I will spending time with that day and what a celebratory meal will include.  When one is from Texas food is the primary focus of any holiday.  One thing is for sure I won’t be preparing the traditional turkey and dressing feast.  For now, I look forward to seeing how the holiday unfolds.

The last few months have been spent visiting and staying with my daughter, Betsy, in New Mexico.  It’s always “good times” when Betsy and I are together.  We laugh, cry, share the ups and downs of life, and support each other in our individual and collective endeavors.

As much as I will miss Betsy it is time to travel on to Arizona so I can settle in for the winter.   We are making tentative plans to get together in December so I doubt she will miss me.  LOL!!!

I am eager to travel to Tucson in a few days.   As I am returning to the same RV park I stayed at last winter, it will be fun to renew friendships with fellow returning RVers, make new ones, participate in some of the many activities offered, enjoy the excellent weekly entertainment and improve my ladder ball skills.

I was encouraged to work on my ladder ball skills over the summer as I could be described as a bad or inconsistent player at best last season.  (And, no, Barb, I didn’t practice over the summer.  Since you have to pick on someone it might as well be me!  Besides this winter I’ll be vying for the most improved award!)

And YEA for me, I won’t be the new kid in town at the RV park this winter.  That honor will be given to a yet to be determined newbie or two or three.

I have been informed by the RV park staff that I will be able to choose my RV site upon arrival.  It will be interesting to see what my choices are.  I will have a few days to settle in in anticipation of Thanksgiving day.

No matter how the day unfolds or who I spend it with, one thing is for sure, I will celebrate with a grateful heart.  I am thankful for my family and friends, good health, safe travels and the blessings bestowed on me that allow me this trippin’ life I live.

A Happy Thanksgiving to each of you that I love so dearly and hold close at heart!!!
