We are about to become full time RVer’s once again! Three years ago, after leaving Illinois and full timing for a year, we purchased a house on a lake in East Tennessee. The kids and grandkids followed us there from Illinois. And stayed. And stayed. LOL. Don’t get me wrong, I love having them near, but just not in the same house as me! Many great times were had at the lake house! Boat rides, jet ski rides, a vegetable garden every year, family meals and game nights and fun, visits from friends and family from Illinois. But alas, at the end of the day, home ownership is tough! You have to clean it, and mow the lawn, and paint it, and clean it some more, and remodel it, and clean it some more. Admittedly, we have been looking to buy a new (small) house in the area that’s nearer to Smoky Mountains National Park, as we always find ourselves going there. But so far, we haven’t been able to find our new Nirvana, after looking for months at this point. So, we will just stay in the camper and enjoy no responsibilities and see where the Good Lord takes us next! Could be Tennessee, could be Colorado, could be Arizona. The world is our oyster, and the possibilities are endless. And I can’t make a damn decision for the life of me. LOL
After four years of fulltiming, we sometimes get the notion we want to get a house somewhere. Then we consider all the chores you mentioned in your post (we haven’t forgotten), laugh at such silliness and just enjoy the changing scenery in the big windshield of our motorhome. Visits with the family work better when we control the timetable. In the meantime, we’re looking for our nirvana, too.
