Road Angels

We've been fortunate and happy to have friends, Tom & Jo, near us recently, but they've now moved off in another direction. We first met them on-line at iRV2.com and actually met them in January at the FMCA Western Regional rally in Indio. They showed up here at Guaranty RV when we were first here and we enjoyed a couple happy hours and a movie together (Ironman), something we rarely do but they do often. The movies. (What a yummy treat that theatre popcorn was, but little did I know what it was doing to my gallbladder.)

It's really nice to meet people that you connect with and to be able to spend time getting to know them. Susan termed them "Road Angels" and it's true, they're angels. Rick enjoyed exploring the storage bays and modifications of their motorhome and talking 'tech' with Tom. I enjoyed the Chocolate Chewie brownies with apricots that Jo brought me from the Saturday Market. Unbelievable that they were FAT FREE, but they are and they're tasty! The flowers they brought back from another trip still cheer me up when I look at them. It's a little sad to see them go, but making plans to meet up again in the future gives us something to look forward to. I know we will "camp" with them again.

It was very nice to get a call this morning from Karen & Jeffrey (a couple other Road Angels) who still live in Arizona, but get out in their motorhome as often as they can. They show mastiff dogs and often have a couple big dogs with them in the motorhome. Their boy, Surf, has been really successful lately in the doggie world. http://www.caninehab.com/newbeginnings/ Oh, Tom & Jo also show dogs, but their 3 are much, much smaller in size. (Big in might though.) Anyway, we met Karen & Jeffrey at a different FMCA rally and enjoyed their company very much. The six of us have all met each other, but not at the same time. I can't wait until we all get together at the same time in the same place. Hey, I've got an idea! We could have a "friends rally" and hope that Jim & Kris and Bob & Jerry and Ron & Becky and Mike & Sharon and Tim & Crystal join us. We would have a blast! Anyone else?

There are soooo many people I've added to our address book who we look forward to meeting again. This is such a great way to meet new friends. We're lovin' the motorhome life!
