We were able to visit with all of our children this year, which is a big accomplishment considering they are living in California, North Dakota and New York. In October we took the long way around to travel from Montana to Kansas, via North Dakota, New York and Virginia. The following are a few snapshots of family we visited. We also appreciate all the friends we were able to catch up with in the eastern part of the US. Thanks to all for their hospitality.
Our wonderful kids.
A few of our brothers and sisters.
Just checking to see if you were paying attention. This was at the Cornell Orchards in Ithaca.
We have been fulltimers since April 2001. When we started out, we worked most of the year. In the last couple of years, we have been able to cut back and now work just a few months. We always try to pick an interesting area to explore while we work. Most of the rest of the time we spend boondocking (dry camping) on Government land, in the most beautiful places in this country. We feel like we have just begun and have no plans to stop anytime soon.
