Living In An RV

Another Year

Another year has come and gone 
and still we are here to carry on 
with living this life that we have chose 
in an RV and driving the road 
staying in one place for a couple of weeks 
or longer if the campground fits
with maybe trails to walk the dogs 
for exercise though we do not jog 
as a slow pace is what we walk 
so, the dogs can smell and sometimes stalk 
whatever it is that they smell 
and for us all is well. 
 
Me I need to take these walks 
to stretch my legs and clear my thoughts 
and exercise to keep my health 
extend the years and add to the wealth 
of living for as many years 
not letting them interfere 
with doing what I want to do 
whatever that is as I have no clue 
and ponder about the latest thing 
that maybe Mother Naure will bring 
wind and weather, rain or snow 
who knows which way she will go 
in the end it matters not 
as we have little control over what is our lot.

  1. That is a beautiful photo. Isn’t the weather wonderful lately. I love these cold nights and sunny days. Of course, it hasn’t prompted me to do anything outside but it’s nice to look out the window.

Now planning on spending the rest of my life in Henly RV Park, Texas in The Caboose, a 45 foot long Jayco Bungalow. I am too old to drive around anymore and the interest is not there but it was fun while it lasted…

      I did not take either of those pictures but as you say, they are beautiful. The wonders of nature. Time to take a break from the outside work as one thing you can be sure of, it will still be there when you do go out to do it.

      Thanks and the same to you

  3. Walks are great for both people and dogs! Honestly though, all those walks probably are helping you to age more gracefully than you otherwise would.

      I have been an athlete all of my life and only stopped working out when I reached 80. Now the sum total to make up for all those hours in the gym is to try to walk at least more than a mile day.

      • The fact that you only stopped working out when you reached 80 is impressive. You may not be able to exercise as much anymore, but it sounds like you’ve been able to stay healthier than a lot of people.

    It’s been a bit now, but I hope you had a Merry Christmas.

      Josh. The body can still work out but the mind is saying other things.
