A last minute decision - type up the good news of 2023 and mail a quick letter to friends and family.
This I shall do….pronto….and include our new address: PO Box 606, Hunt,TX 78024
Hopefully, this is our last move knowing it’s truly the best yet. We sold our double wide on five acres, full disclosure. With the professional engineer's report in hand a couple bought the Madrona fiasco in May. The home was structurally unsound.
We moved into 100 Should Bee in Bumblebee Hills in May. It’s in a small development between Ingram and Hunt west of Kerrville on a half-acre lot bordered by a creek. Dave’s new John Deere garden tractor is being put to good use.
With only two weeks in our new-to-us home we traveled once again to North Idaho, Farragut State Park. This was my second year volunteering in the Junior Ranger program. We left Idaho mid-August for Texas, stopping in Boise to buy my dream machine, a 19’ Bambi Airstream. Since we were already towing the Transcend, we returned a few weeks later to Boise to hitch up the 2003 Bambi. After a short pause in Estes Park to see my brother and sister-in-law, we were very happy to see Should Bee. Our 30’ Transcend trailer is currently on the consignment lot.
Whew! Home and tired of collecting trailers and traversing the West, we have been spending the past few months putting our personal stamp on Should Bee and acknowledging God’s hand in the past year’s events.

Dave is doing great. He has those 96 year-old aches for which we try to seek the best support. He stays in touch with family and we hope to see everyone in the northwest again this summer. However, since we have a smaller trailer, living in it for more than a few weeks is out of the question for him (no recliner). I am hanging up my volunteer hat for any lengthy commitment.
In simple words, we’re going to enjoy these final years without a definitive summer itinerary!
I became an octogenarian last week. Still overloading my activities, one of our favorites is taking our vintage bookmobile to the Saturday farmers’ market. It is a Little Free Library bookmobile for children and folks bring donations as well as select favorite books and puzzles.
I have a blog and post diary-like while trying to become more tech savvy with it. https://jamajoanjottings.blogspot.com
Stay in touch and know our faith in Jesus keeps our emotions stable and feeds our desire to know Him better in these latter years. He is all we have, but who needs more, right?
May you be blessed this year with abundant joys and “the peace that passes ALL understanding.”
(......and just for my blog buddies)
Blessings.
