Fridays, Shelly at This Eclectic Life declared for us to post Only the Good. No snarky remarks, just hunt for the good. So, I will ignore that the realtor did not return my call from this morning, grin. I mean she found the good in her day today….
I have still not gotten back in the swing of blogging every day or even several times a week, but, for once, I’m O.K. with that – for now. That is good, acceptance.
My good today is personal. Leon and I made the decision to take a chance and move into a manufactured home in an RV Resort, assuming we can get financing in the current financial climate. It is small, but when we went to check it out on a Tuesday, it was alive with people walking their dogs, talking to their neighbors, working on their homes, washing their RVs, playing golf, and helping us find a home, grin. (If we do buy there, I will show pictures.)
Granted most of these people are retired – and we won’t be. We will be working and for a while living in two places, but we have been so isolated from socializing and fun in recent years, working way too hard. So, though rife with logistical problems and his having to build a new referral base, we want to do it. That is good, taking a calculated risk. (Did I just say that?)
I could list many more positives and some negatives, but today, I must ignore that he will still have clients over 3 hours away for many months…
We are smiling, though. Insanity? No, we are both so tired of renting already that even less than 700 square feet sounds perfect, especially when Panoply will be parked outside our door, where we can finish remodeling her and ready to run away with us.
For now, Panoply remains shrouded from the road ahead, but her time is coming….
What’s perfect in your world today? Yesterday? This week? Jump on the bandwagon. Check out what Shelly has to say, grab a banner/button and start sharing your good one day a week. You can do it!
here’s to panoply.

Grin, thank you, Shelby. Here’s to both of us getting to Oregon and ‘thereabouts’ sooner than later!
I’m interested (as another Lazy Daze owner) in what mods are you planning for Panoply? We’ve been full timing for almost 5 years in a 30TB and are constantly changing things around. Right now we’re in the middle of another round of modifications, so I’d be interested in your take on what can be changed in the rig.

Kate, I emailed you. I read about your sofa on the forum and have read a lot of your blog, especially the changes you have made, we are ‘copying’ some of them, lol. We had pulled our sofa apart just weeks before, actually, both of them.
Panoply is going to be beautiful when you get through with her. This opportunity sounds like a good one. I hope that it turns out to be so, and that financing is available. I don’t want to think about financing, because I’m still looking for good

Yep, look for the good. I’m TRYING… Yep, Panoply will be pretty cool, thank you, Shelly, especially if I get away doing my weird ideas, grin… but we are procrastinators and Leon is busy…
