Re: 
Provisioning
Dear  Eldred,
Leaving home for three and a half
months is a logistical exercise.  What papers do I need to file my 
taxes? What medications? There are so many details and forgetting one 
can be a
big inconvenience later on.   I've made a habit of preparing a "load 
list" a few weeks in advance and every time I think of something I
should take along I put it on the list.  But, alas, even with all that 
preparation something gets left behind.  Last year it was the charger
for my laptop computer.
As I write this our fifth wheel is in the Pennswood
Village lot.  I brought it up on Friday, opened the slide-outs, turned 
on the refrigerator (it runs on propane), and set the furnace to 50 so 
the
bottles of water and wet foods wouldn't freeze. Then on Saturday we 
trucked the food from our apartment out there, followed by our clothes 
and other
personal gear.
This summer I made modifications to the trailer and
built a box for the truck bed so that I could easily connect and run my 
little gasoline generator in any weather.   I was pleased that it
worked perfectly Saturday.
So by the time most of you read this on Sunday we
will be rolling down I-95 headed for our first stop in Emporia, VA.  At 
the campground we will sanitize and flush out the RV antifreeze that
keeps the pump and pipes from freezing and fill the fresh water tank. 
Once the water heater is filled all the systems that make the trailer a 
full
featured home on wheels will be in operation.
For the next 8,000 miles we'll be very cozy in just
333 square feet of living space.
 

















This year we plan to spend Christmas in St.
Petersburg, FL with Marguerite's step mother, and then continue on to 
Key West. In February we will come north to Vero Beach before heading 
west to
Austin, Texas. 
We wish you all joy and happiness in this holiday
season.  We'll keep you posted on what we are up to, and look forward to 
getting news from all of you.
Richmond and Marguerite
