Our family

Our daughter, Leigh Ann Dotson, bought a condo and moved to Clearwater, FL at the end of October.  Tatum, our granddaughter is moving to FL at the end of this month.    They are both excited to be out of the Atlanta traffic and winter weather, especially January and February in North Georgia. They have lived in our son's house for several years so the house is going to be vacant for a while.

We will move our stored furniture that is still in Albany, GA to this house in early summer and we will be there part-time, but probably not very much.    Ronald and Gigi will come in from the Philippines a couple of times per year and we will share the house and RV with them.    We will take a short time off and live in the house while they are traveling in the RV.   They will have the master bedroom set up for their use whenever they are able to spend a little time at the house in Woodstock.   We will somehow figure out how to share the expenses of the house.    Ronald insisted on this arrangement partly because he thinks we need (and I do to) a place where we can rest, recuperate if we need to, and eventually have a place to live when we are too old for the RV traveling.    Ron does not want to face those times that will come upon us before too many years but we all know it will happen.     We realize that each year gets a little harder to keep the same pace.    We will park the RV in the driveway/yard and still travel to churches as much as we can in the years ahead.   We will continue doing what we are doing as long as our ability to do so permits.

Ronald and Gigi are in Texas now using our RV for the first time.    We gave Ronald and Gigi a 2-day course on RVing before we left for Thailand.     They are getting a feel for how our lives have been the past 10 years living in an RV and traveling most of the time, reporting to churches about our mission work.    They are finding out how to deal with maintenance issues and cold weather.    I'm almost afraid to ask for a review of their feelings about it but at the end of their travels in January as they return to the Philippines, I will get their input.   They will spend Christmas in the Corpus Christi area so they will have warm weather to enjoy soon and that will make RVing much more enjoyable.

Keep our family in your prayers for safe travels as well as our workers and mission work in the field.  Thank you again for following my blog, having interest in our work and for our family.   God bless!
