Fun With Friends & Future Plans

Indianapolis, IN (unusually warm weather)

Jeff, our friend and realtor, told us at dinner "you can't lose a friend you never had".  This quote from an Allman Brothers song is so true.  Being back in Indiana reminded us of how many wonderful friends we continue to keep in touch with even as we travel full time on the road. 

Over the past two weeks we have been out with friends, co-workers, camping club members, and family catching up on each other lives.  We have had wonderful home cooked meals and ate  at some at our favorite restaurants.  Let's just say we've been well fed.  We didn't capture photographs of everyone but here are a few.  It was great to reconnect.

We even saw Gay and Danny our fellow workampers at Indy KOA. 

Gay and Danny
While our motorcoach was being renovated, we stayed at our friends Debbie house.  She lives out in the country and it is such a peaceful place to stay.  I've always loved driving around the farmlands and homes in Indiana.  Farmers are very busy right now tilling and planting their crops.  Debbie lives on land that was once her grand parents farm. 

Dinner with Debbie

Hunter
We especially liked spending time with her family.  Debbie is a great cook and her grandson Hunter kept us very entertained.  He is adorable and such a happy little boy.  He has a heart defect and has had two surgeries to rebuild his heart this year and has one more in the future.  His recovery has been astonishing.  Be sure to follow Debbie's blog (A Miracle Named Hunter).

Thanks everyone for taking the time to visit with us.  It was great to be back home in Indiana. 



We now heading east to celebrate a special birthday for Martha (John's sister).  She is teaching in Bennington Vermont for another two months.  We are especially looking forward to spending time with her.  The weather has been challenging with a spring snow storm forecasted.  We hung out in Toledo Ohio for a few days waiting for it to pass. 

Starting May 1st we will be workamping at Watkin Glen KOA in New York.  We will be working part time while Martha is in the area and then full time until the fall.  It is a beautiful campground and was rated the #1 KOA in the country in 2010.  There is a large indoor pool and a wide range of activities led by a college program called Summershiners.  If you are in the area, be sure to stop by and see us.  We'll be posting lots of pictures in the future and tell you more about our experience.
