Lunch with old and new friends

What a treat it was to see Paul and Mary (Boris and Natasha) again, and John and Sandy, two new fulltimers I had not yet met. They drove over from their RV park in West Sacramento to my apartment, and the 5 of us went to lunch at Appleby's.



It has taken just about all my willpower in the last month to keep from falling into a real slump, and being with these friends for a couple of hours has bolstered my mood and my attitude. Mary also brought along hellos and hugs from several RVers, and I would like to send my own back to you all. I wish I could meet everyone I've gotten to know from their blogs, and hope the day will come that I can be back on the road and crossing paths with some of you.

So for me, the sun is shining a little brighter today, and I'm so grateful for the effort these folks made to get together with me.

  3. It was neat to see a picture of Paul and Mary because it brings back the good times we had with them in AZ.

    Glad you had a fun lunch. Contact with old and new friends is what life is all about.

  6. Gypsy,

    We have followed your blog for quite sometime, so it was a pleasure to finally meet you in person. We had a great time at lunch today; and hopefully we can do it again sometime.

    Thanks, John and Sandy

  7. Although we mainly keep to ourselves most of the time it is sometimes a boost to morale when getting together with old friends for a bit. No interest in doing it all the time like years ago but once & awhile it is nice to sit down, have a few laughs, touch base & renew old friendships. Nice to meet new folks too as long as it doesn't turn out to be a whole day thing. Long visits can be very, very, tiring.

  8. Oh it's so cool to meet up with Camping Family! What a nice pic of everyone around the table together. John and Sandy are fellow Wisconsinites, retired and moved on from a town not too far away from me, been following their travels since they hit the road too.
