We are selling the Sphinx if you are interested. We took it on the spot.The next day one of the 30 people on the wait list changed their mind and said they wanted that unit, but were told “sorry, it was now taken.” So, as of Septemwe will be living in an old age ghetto. The previous owners recently passed (died) and the unit was offered to the 30 people on the wait listed, who were not interested in this unit. In making inquires on availability, we were, to our surprise, told it was immediately available. While showing us one of the display units, we realized that the unit had everything on our list. While touring a facility in Hunt Valley, Maryland, we were informed that they had 30 people on their wait list (they had to wait for others to die to make room). We had a list of requirements that the home must possess. We couldn’t leave Maryland because of the virus, so we spent some time looking at old age homes. We returned to Maryland last December for my father’s 100th birthday (he past the following month). Barbara wasn’t too wild about Oak Crest, and we have been leisurely looking at other facilities. My mother actually signed us up on the wait list 10 years ago. Our plan after giving up RVings was to move into a retirement community, like Oak Crest as both our parents did, to conveniently live out the remainder of our lives. We have been to the Arctic Circle and back. We were going to Hawaii, but they haven’t finished the bridge. ![]() We have travelled to 37 states including Alaska, 3 Canadian Providences and 1 Canadian Territory. However, with the China Virus closing some State borders to us and sites, like museums and other public places being closed, our travel destinations have become limited. ![]() Our thoughts were to reevaluate after 5 years and hopefully continue until our health forced us to stop. Our original plan was to travel a minimum of 5 years to justify the cost of a new RV as opposed to a used one. ![]() It has actually been 5 years and 8 months, but we did not count the time in our driveway over the years and not actually traveling. We have been traveling for 4.9 years full time. Since we are helping with the wedding, no time to sightsee, or even to eat a Hershey bar. We are in Hershey, Pennsylvania to attend our granddaughter’s wedding.

I hoped I have given you a detailed look into some the interesting places our County has to offer, along with history of the United States from a different point of view, peppered with a little bit of humor and sarcasm. but you have to take care of me when I am old and drooling.” My original intent for the blog was to keep everyone informed of our location on the Continent. This is a great relief to our Granddaughter to whom I said, “You don’t have to repay us any of the money we used to help you with dentist, college, etc. However, it is a good deal: we give them all of our money and they are responsible for taking care of us the rest of our lives. We went to an orientation the other day, the rows of seats in front of us looked like a box of Q-Tips. Where were our favorite places? Mine was the Badlands of South Dakota, and Barbara’s was the Albuquerque, New Mexico Hot Air Balloon Festival. We have been to the Arctic Circle and back. During the last five years we have been to 37 States, including Alaska, 3 Canadian Providences and 1 Canadian Territory. However, with the China Virus greatly limiting where we can travel, we decided it was not worth the hassle. Since we are both in good health, we would have continued until our health determined otherwise. It has now been 5 years, having purchased the Sphinx January, 2016. Our original plan was to tour the Continent for 5 years and then re-evaluate. Barbara is crying (she was still inside). The Last Day This is where the Sphinx use to be: I sold it today.
