Love the postcards and now am wondering how many folks still send them. Stamps $.29 now, yes? I think kids like getting ‘real’ mail, as do I.

Great choice Astrig! Could really relate to your posts about her work. I feel the same way. Love, love, love her work!

Hi, Astrig!

We’re here in the Georgia Campground settled in for the Winter. So far, it’s being mild 50-60′s.

MY cousin and hubby, are 20 minutes away near Brunswick. We had a buffet breakfast together, yesterday. Fun talking about our adventure going West, and back. Visiting grown children. They did the same with two grown children on the coast. We followed them out, and stayed in campgrounds in the same areas.

One of my sisters is about an hour away in Fernandina Beach, FL. So, we will see her in the future.

Jan has a cousin about 2 hours West in Valdosta, GA. So, we’re not lonely down here. Good Downeasters would say ‘up here,’ as the world is fatter at the Equator than in Maine. Ha!

Only problem we had on the trip was nearly loosing our awning in Oklahoma during 60 MPH wind from the Gulf, plus going 55 ahead on I-40. Fortunately, no damage to the unit. The forward pin broke out of the plastic bearing housing. The roller tube dropped down alongside the unit, and unraveled some awning that violently flapped. Jan was driving, but startled by the noise, she got the unit off the road and stopped. We got roadside assistance to take the awning off, and we shoved it through the passenger side window, and on the floor of the motor home. It’s at the dealer’s shop for repair.

F.Y.I. – This is a common failure of awnings, which I never heard about. Some just rip off the side of the RV with more side damage. We were lucky. The little locking arm on the forward end does not guarantee safety. It only works when you are stopped, but can vibrate loose. There’s a guy out in Iowa that sells a spring loaded locking pin for $30 plus S&H. I’m going to buy one, and install it.

That’s all from here, and hope Steve is continuing to recuperate.

Happy New Year! See you at the beginning of Summer.

Jan and David Sims

Hi Barbara,
Sure you can…we’re open for guests between Mother’s Day and Columbus Day…if you’ll like to rent a “seasonal site”, you can choose one and leave your camper there every winter…these sites range from $2900-$4900 depending on the site…several of our guests have this sort of arrangement and if you’d like, we can take care of winterizing in the fall and opening it in the Spring…with a complete Spring cleaning before you arrive if you’d like.

What are the costs if we leave an RV all year at the park so that we do not have to haul it? Is there some way to put it on “Vacation” during the winter months?

Steven, and Astrig, I’m glad to hear that your surgery went so well, and Astrig that you might have him home by the weekend. I’ve seen people dance after hip replacement surgery – of course it helps if you know how to dance first before the surgery ! :-} I, too, have just been in the hospital here in Albany. I was in for a week, too bad we weren’t closer mileswise! We could have visited. Happy for your progress and hope all continues uneventfully. Still no yarn , Astrig! Called the Radisson in Chelmsford, no luck there. Hope that it turns up soon as I miss it very much. Hugs
