Life off the Road

Cathy and I have truly enjoyed our time on the road.  Camping has been wonderful.  However our rest stops at The Villages served as great respites for us.  After we left The Villages following a week long stay, we wrote a letter to Bill and Karen Early and my brother, Bill.  Bill and Karen have been our hosts for our stays in the Villages.  We later returned to their home and found the letter we had written to them framed and hanging on their wall.  Here is that letter although the original was hand written:

Dear Bill and Karen and Bill,
     We hate camping and we want to come “home”.  We don’t like the other campers and they don’t like us.  I THINK it’s because they are all stupid but Cathy SAYS that they just sound stupid because of their accents.  That’s why they don’t like her – because she says it all the time – to them!
     We are sleeping well.  Not really – my Cpap machine, the one with the Reggie White sticker on it, stopped working, so I am afraid of dying in my sleep.  Cathy sleeps at night and in the daytime she spends eight hours watching me breathe while I sleep.  But it’s ok, that still gives us 8 hours to make meals and clean and not watch tv as we have no reception.
   There are no pools here.  There is only an ocean.  To get to the water you have to walk on sand which gets our feet dirty.
   The only good thing is that I don’t have to power wash anything here.
   Please come and get us.
   Love,
 Ken and Cathy

  2. It has been a real treat having you here in The Villages visiting us. We REALLY enjoyed your company and hope it is something that will become an annual event. Now if we can just get some more of the Blaney's down here.
