The call of the desert is strong…

… and demands to be heard.

Having experienced the shortest vacation ever…. we will not be deterred. Nope… no pouting, no more anger, no more feeling sorry for ourselves. Life is a day by day kind of thing… and losing days is not something we desire. Oh yeah… there's also the call of the desert which is a very strong song. As you know we had big plans for this winter… and, with a little luck, we are not done yet. In fact, a rather surprising kind of miracle occurred a few days ago.

There we were, busily filling out forms and claims and making notes and taking photos of damage….and well, didn't Kathy trip over an ad she just couldn't ignore. You may recall our Lucy. She is a Spirit Deluxe Casita 17 and we sold her to a very nice fellow who absolutely loves her. That's not the miracle. What is… is the fact Kathy tripped over another one, the same model but 6 years newer, for sale in White Rock.

Of course, being sensible adults and not prone to sudden changes of direction… of course we ignored the ad. NO WE DIDN'T ! We were on the 0515 Duke Point ferry the next morning. Yes, we're probably crazy but… we're not done adventuring yet.

Lucy Too needs a little work (to bring her up to the same standards we set up with
Lucy I) and/ but she's going to be great! She is here in Duncan now - being tended to by our trailer care team (who still have the blueprints from the previous Casita work). We hope to be 'on the road again' by mid to late January and, with a bit of luck, we will amend our original route plans a bit and be able to enjoy the people and places we love to visit.

That's my report for today… I must get busy. We have lots to do. Again, I send our
love and thanks to all of you for your support. We are blessed to have you in our lives.

TTFN (ta ta for now). CJ & K. The happy wanderers.
