I encourage you do go fulltiming and realize your dreams even if it is only for a short time. Just have some answers about what will happen if..... My latest idea is to buy a small travel trailer to see how I like hauling that. I can still drive the truck. Then if I really get good I can start pulling the 5th wheel or like you said "sell it all and buy a Motor Home. Thanks again. Tinka Thanks for your beautiful letter.

I don't know you. You don't know me. I found your blog link on another blog I recently started reading, and the first entry I happened to read here was the one telling of your husband's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincerest condolences, even though they are from a complete stranger. My husband and I are planning to start fulltiming next year. He is 67, smoked for years, has COPD and rheumatoid arthritis, and I worry a lot that we won't realize our dream. We have even discussed it at times..."what would you do if...?" He always encourages me to continue with our plans, even if he is no longer here. But I would change things up a bit, which is why I'm writing to you. Here's an idea: Trade your truck and fifth wheel in on a Class C motor home. You could drive and maneuver it easily, tow a small car for your get-around, and travel south in the winter, north in the summer, park in your kids driveway for a while :), go or do whatever you want. Maybe you'll find that solo RVing isn't as lonely as it sounds right now, and maybe your sister will travel with you! :) Take care and God bless you, Tinka. Dear Tinka.

Then also besides the ideas you have mentioned, you can meet the grandkids at various places like during Spring Break. If it were small enough, you could even have power and place it in Lance's backyard! And I could come travel with you around the state and to NM, for example!!!! The small trailer idea sounds good.

Your husband, Rick, and I share the same great-grandmother. Her name was Harriet Levis (or Levvis). Elon Levis was one of her sons..Later, Harriet married my Great-Grandfather, Walter Reader, after whom Walter Levis is named. The roots of the family are in Custer, MI. My aunt, Grace Levis, helped Walter through Georgetown University. We have letters from Walter to Grace and some photos of Walter growing up. We would like to re-establish contact with the Levis side of our family. I wonder if you could help us out in that regard. I am sorry to hear of your loss. I would have certainly liked to have met Rick. Best regards, Quentin Reader. Hello Tinka:
