In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Gulf Shores, AL
OK, what did we do today? I went with a new friend/neighbor (Tom) to the Escapee park in Summerdale for a 9am computer get together. There were 25 folks there and I had the opportunity to ask about not being able to connect to Mapquest, MSN, or Hotmail using my Sprint air card. It works great at other sites. I use Gulf Breeze's WiFi to get to Hotmail. Well, there's no answer but a gut feel it's Sprint's cell access. I'll download Firefox tonight as they suggested to see if that will work. After that we stopped at a pecan farm and I bought 4 pounds of cracked nuts for $8 as Judy wanted some. I learned that they shake the trees to drop the nuts, have a nut picker upper behind a tractor to collect them and run some through a shell cracker. They gather the nuts starting in September and are finished in January. It costs $1.75/pound, $2/pound cracked, or $7 shelled. After that we went to the Stewed Tomato for the lunch buffet, it was very good. While I was out Judy lead a water aerobics class here at Gulf Breeze, started the laundry and got a personal pan pizza for lunch. When I got back about 1pm I helped finish the laundry. We visited with Tom and Ann this afternoon and now the day is gone. 4:55 and the sun went down 5 minutes ago. Night night ya'll.
