The End of the RV Era

I’ve been thinking about selling my truck for the past year. Shelley and I had gotten tired of spending days on the road, even though we loved being different places. All the time getting there stopped being any fun. I’ve been holding off doing anything permanent, thinking there’s a chance I could change my mind. But now that I’m flying solo, there is very little chance that I’ll want to take the rig back onto the road.

We loved living in the RV, and that has been my plan up until recently. A few weeks ago the Ping Pong bug hit me, and I started investigating whether I could buy a table tennis table and fit it into my driveway. Turns out that I could. I also started checking to see if there were places nearby to go play ping pong, and I found a table tennis club just a few miles from here at Sun City.

Well, I checked into it, and in order to participate in activities like that at Sun City you have to be a resident. So I looked at what other activities they have going on there and holy moly, it’s a veritable Disneyland for seniors over there!

So I made arrangements to take a tour, and about 10 minutes into the tour I was completely sold. Three golf courses, pickleball and tennis courts everywhere, ceramics, stained glass, and wood shops, etc. Wow!

So I’ve sold the truck and I am house hunting. I’ll need to purchase something on the small side, and of course coming from an RV I have absolutely no furniture. But I’m very excited about this. I do have an air mattress we used for overnight guests, and some nice patio furniture, so I should be good to go for a while.

So this will be a transition from “Where in the world are Ron & Shelley today” to “What in the world activity is Ron doing today”!

Woohoo!

ps. I’ll add more pictures to this post once I’ve found a house.
