The Grass isnt always greener on the other side of the fence!   Well, where do I begin.  I guess I begin by saying, "Vacationing/Staying, at Hilton Head National RV Resort, is  a lot different than working there." This was not your typical Work Camping job.  It was full time, a very difficult job, with one, maybe two, 20 minute breaks, in a 8 to 12 hour day.  Management was poor to say the least.  We thought to ourselves after 3 months working there, "Hey, isn't this is supposed to be fun??" The stars aligned, for us within a few days.   I read an article, quoting billionaire Steve Jobs at the end of his life.  He said, "The most important thing in your life is family and friends."   We were fed up with our time at Hilton Head, and the Heat and Humidity in the South. Our portfolio had bounced back, plus!   My sister Maryann called and said, "A house in our neighborhood has come up for sale, its not even got a sign out yet." We ...

                                                      WE ARRIVED! Here we are at the pool deck at Hilton Head National RV Resort We are hard at work here at HHRV.  Brian works close to 40 hours a week, myself, around 34.  If they need extra help we volunteer.  This is a paid work camp host job, plus free Full Hook Up.   But we usually work 4 days on, Monday thru Thursday with 3 days off, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.   Its been challenging.  Physically for Brian (out in the heat and humidity)  and mentally for me (learning a new complicated reservation software)  But we have almost 2 months under our belt now and things are getting easier.  Its good physcial and mental exercise for both of us. On the weekends we rest and explore, we've been to the beach twice.  The Hilton Head island beaches...

  #25 And another Winter has gone by. It was cold down here in Florida this winter, low 40's in the morning. We are not complaining though.  But many a morning we put on our puffy coats to walk Teddy, who has his own furry coat.  We even had frost on our window shield one morning.  Brrrrrr.  But by afternoon it would be in the 70's, and we would be peeling off the layers. Lakeland, Florida is where all our doctors are.  Between Watson clinic and the VA, we are very well taken care of.  Its how we spent a lot of our leisure time. 😂 One of the younger ladies down here was commenting on her self-care, of going in regularly to have her manicures, pedicures, and facials.  I, Ruth, commented that our self care involved Colonoscopies, Mammograms, Eye exams, Bone density testing, Prostate surgeries and Lab work.  And by the way, Brians prostate surgery went very well.  He had an excellent surgeon, spent a couple of days in the Ba...
