life changes

We have had some interesting life changes this spring. On May 5th I was diagnosed with Kindney Cancer in my left kidney.On May 24th I had a rad nephorectomy of the left kidney (they removed it). At some point during the surgery I had a stroke in the vision center of my brain and was left with hemianopsia (I am left sided blind in both eyes.

Lindsey also closed her business the same week, as the economy was rough, I was not able to give her days off and the BP mess killed the beach traffic that we counted on for the spring and summer months.
As the world crumbled around us, we all moved into the RV along with the six dogs. Yes, I did say SIX dogs. We are parked in a Christmas Tree farm, so there are plenty of trees for the dogs, however most of the summer has been in the 100 plus degree range and we are over the heat of the deep south. We are looking forward to getting back on the road as soon as my doctors say I can go.
Tomorrow is my son Tony's 25th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONY we love and miss you. Don't party too much and try to stay safe out there in sin city.

Where have we been?






Well, as you know we have been in Alabama since mid-September. We did manage to take a wonderful trip to visit our friends Terry and Billy in Colorado in January. We had a great time, visited lots of cool places, ate wonderful foods and met some of their awesome Colorado friends. The weather was perfect and we can't wait to go back. We did not take the RV in January and really look forward to doing that in the spring.

I totally fell in love with Boulder and would consider workamping there this summer, if the right opportunity appears.
