Not sure anyone is still out there after almost 5 years but...........We are back in the RV! :-)
Yep, we sold the house and closed last Friday. We downsized once again but it was a little easier this time. Our plan is to continue our full time jobs and we are settled into a campground here in Custer, SD for the foreseeable future. We can give up the stuff and the house but those health care benefits and paychecks every two weeks are a little harder to let go of! LOL
Our house sale was a nightmare! We listed on May 5th 2018 and went through several contracts before finally selling and even then the lies and deceptions didn't stop! We had finally had enough and told the buyers (who were still trying to renegotiate the week before the closing!) NO MORE! They needed to take it or leave it, we were done. Once we put our feet down and crossed our arms they quickly agreed and off to closing we went. Well we actually went the day before and signed our part because neither one of us wanted to even see them face to face at the closing table after the way they acted. Grrrrrrr!
So what's in store for Rudee and I .......well we still own our place in Florida which is rented so that is always a possible "snowbird" location or even a revenue stream if we head out on the road. We still have a lot of unfinished business as fulltime RVers with a whole bucket list of places we want to go. We are both aching for more family time, our grandkids are growing so fast and we both feel like we are missing out on so much :-( . So the plan right now is to stay working and banking the $$'s as much as we can. I turn 62 in two more years and have already decided to take the early social security and run!! We are now debt free, something that we have never experienced before and this will help us no matter what comes our way. So hang on .......the roller coaster is climbing that first big hill ......put your arms way up in the air .......enjoy the ride and ......I'll keep you posted ;-)
We're still here!!! I love your can-do attitude. Yes, it's a ride -- you know we've had out fair share -- but keep on rolling. We're thrilled to see you back out here.
ReplyDeleteGetting used to the "togetherness" in our small home again. Not quite "out there" but getting closer ....a lot closer
DeleteHey there welcome back!! Hard to believe it's been that long! Congratulations on your house sale! We are in the midst of working to sell the rv and truck so I understand the feeling of relief you must be feeling. Are you going to winter up there in the RV? That will be an experience if so. You will have lots to blog about!!
ReplyDeleteJust read your latest ....congrats. Such a relief when things fall into place. Tell Harry we said "Howdy"
DeleteWe are so glad to hear your house sale finally went through!!! It won’t be long before the wheels on your bus go round and round!!! ��
ReplyDeleteyep, not long at all "rollin' rollin rollin" LOL
DeleteWelcome back! I've followed you since the beginning and I am the gal that has been workamping this summer with Susie & Rick here in Hermossa. We workamped two summers 2017 & 2018 right around the corner from your house in Custer, of course we did not know it was your house, at Buffalo Ridge Camp Resort.....small world.
ReplyDeleteWishing you warmth for the winter here in the Black Hills. Looking forward to reading your future posts!
Awesome! We need to meet up before you head out. Maybe Rick and Susie can facilitate that 🤔. We are busy little beavers gathering our stuff to button up the RV for winter. Skirting is ready to install so stay tuned for our next installment.
DeleteCongratulations on finally closing on your house! We will be back in about a week, we need to get together for Firday fish in Pringle!
