Transitions

August was a month of transition for the Lemkes.

 A year ago we sold our house and decided to try full timing in our 31 foot Award Classic trailer.  We survived!  We have had many a good adventure and saw parts of the country we have never before experienced.  We have felt cramped for space only a few times but still have a positive attitude about our life style.  One re-occurring problem is trying to find something we packed away" somewhere".  "Somewhere" seems to be one of those universal black holes.  When we find it, there will be a lot of good stuff in there.  It has been a fun year.

We celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary this year.  Where has the time gone?  It seems to have disappeared with my hair.   Life goes on and hair gives up.

The grand kids are growing.  Easton (4) has mastered riding a two wheeler without training wheels (!) and is off to pre-school.  Chezney has also mastered bicycle riding and is in first grade.  Kiley is in middle school and has learned to on-up me on most everything. 

Erik has sold the village of Marshall on putting in a 19 hole disc golf course at an under utilized village park.  He sold the idea, designed the course, plotted the course through a mix of prairie and woods, and put in countless hours of back breaking work putting it into being.  The baskets were in place last week!  The village is adding water, toilets, a shelter and parking.  Way to go Erik!

And Becky has a permanent teaching job in a middle school in Janesville.  Fantastic!  A second degree in English as a Second Language sealed the deal.  She will be a great teacher.

We are yet in DeForest making plans and plotting courses for our winter travels.  We will end up somewhere and find new adventures this coming year.

More transitions are on the horizon somewhere in the black hole!
