A Little History:
Don: I had been married for 31 years when my wife passed away. We had been making plans for our future ever since I retired in 2000. Our plans included an RV and traveling the country full time. How fortunate was I that 3 years later I would meed a woman who shared these freams. After retirement I went to nursing school and in 2002 I was able to get my LPN license from the State of Tennessee. I now have a rewarding job that I love and can look forward to doing at least part time in the future. I have a wonderful wife, two great children and quite a remarkable extended family. Between Karen and I we have 12 grandchildren. We can't wait to see all our grandchildren and family all over the country.
Karen: Like Don, I had been married for almost 30 years. My late husband, Bobby, passed onto another life on Feb. 21, 2001. After living all my life in Eastern Jackson County, Missouri, I moved in to Franklin, Tennessee in May of 2001. I lived with my oldest son, Tim and his family for 2 years. Then I met Don....on Match.com....can you believe it????? Well, it was love at first site for me. It took Don a little extra time. We were married in July of 2004. One of the things that drew us together was our plan to let "wanderlust" take place. Shortly after getting married, we began working on a plan to set out on the open road in our retirement. May 26, 2011 is our target date for starting our adventure. One of the major objectives of our travels will be to visit friends and family that we have scattered all over the country. There are grandchildren that we have not had the opportunity to spend quality time with. We have both been blessed to have a combined total of 7 grand here in Tennessee....but there are 5 others out there that we want to spend time with. Join us, by visiting our Blog, as we enter the final stages of our planning. For those who have known me for sometime, you know that my life is always an adventure, filled with hills, valleys, and the occasional curves. Put your seat belts on and lets get this ride started.
So, welcome to our world we will be adding posts as our preparation for this next chapter unfolds.
