December, 2015
Dear Folks - we're writing our Christmas letter within the blog this year,
and hope to transfer to e-delivery of our Christmas communication in the
future!
We have seen a lot of
changes this year. We started the year in our 2004 Safari Trek motorhome, Miss
Daisy. At the beginning of 2015, we were beginning a 4 month trip in her,
trying to determine if living fulltime in a motorhome was for us. The 4 month
trip caused us to determine that we did like motorhoming and would like to do
it fulltime, but not in Miss Daisy.

She was a 32 foot motorhome with two slides
in the living area - we found that the space was a bit small for fulltime,
slides weren't helpful to us based on our usage of the space; we don't stay in
one space very long, and the slides meant that we would pull a lot of stuff out
and then have to put it all away when it was time to move again; we found that
the bed that came down from the ceiling wasn't working well for us - Patti had
to climb underneath it to get up in the night, and her knees weren't happy with
that plan. We considered some changes to it to make it more liveable, like putting
a bed on the floor in the back room, but decided the better strategy was to get
a rig that was better configured for our needs. We sold Miss Daisy in May.

In January, we
visited Quartzsite, AZ. This is a small town on the western edge of Arizona
with a small year-round population that plays host to about 500,000 RVs in
January each year for a big show and rally. We joined up to spend one week with
the Christian BOF from Escapees and a second week with a group of Trek owners
in Quartzsite.
