Going Back To WorkAbout Me
Interests:
Newly retired in 2007. We're spending a few months of the year camping in a popup camper. We take a mix of trips, 1 week to a month, with the intention of hiking and/or biking. I spend a lot of time planning trips, reading about hiking trails, national parks, bike trails, etc. When home, do a great deal of gardening, primarily flowers as the traveling makes it difficult to have a vegetable garden. I need a hobby for over the winter! Don't know yet if I'll work seasonally, volunteer, or find something else to do over winter besides reading.My Photos (0)

You are SO RIGHT, RetiredTraveler. Had to cut back on those happy trips to visit my kids and grandkids. I, too, have a little car to get around town. It's a Geo Metro and falling apart but it does the job! My small Ford truck is reliable and makes the longer trips and carries blocks or lumber when I need to patch the house. ~ Sharlet

Hi and THANKS for comments to my post on GUNS...
Hi RetiredTraveler,
I think that traveling would be my first choice over staying-put in any town, so GOOD FOR U! And I am only glad that our varieties of towns in California give me an option on going to the beach, desert, or mountains.
Blessings...

Only problem is, like many others, we've cut back on our traveling. I have an SUV to pull the popup and it's just too costly to make a lot of trips. Fortunately, we have a small, high mileage car for our everyday use and it's only driven a few times a week. We're all in the same boat with the gas prices.
