Now as an Albertan and Canadian ALL my life there were some adjustments to be made...like stepping outside the trailer everyday and hmmmmmmmmm NICE NICE weather....
This year we returned again but for an extra month. This time I began to sense more of the "community" as many people here, this is their second home. The friendships forged are quick and endearing..and for hubby and I it was no different.
As I affectionately remember a resident calling me "foreigner" this same person and his dear wife are precious jewels in our hearts.
I believe that in our life the good Lord brings all sorts of people across our paths. Some who can bring out the best in us and others no so...
Of course the usual age is retirement age but there are several families who live in the park and have kids that are either home-schooled or the bus picks them up....therefore you are never totally out of "normality of life"
Somehow it would seem as we age we get to be a bit more cantankerous with noise levels of children and pets and just generally do not remember what life is meant to be about.
I to have found after that "empty nest" that is was great to have the peace and tranquillity...but have quickly decided I could never go to one of the places that do NOT allow children, pets, or anything that might annoy the older generation.
I surely pray that I will always remember that the voices of small ones can be one of the sweetest sounds you hear.
I am posting some pictures of the park, the dear folks who manage it now, units parked, places we met for coffee and doughnuts..and believe me DO NOT BE LATE or there is nothing left.
