Update from Woodstock, GA

We left Texas early on June 18th and drove to Mobile, AL   We can park at Regency church of Christ in the back parking lot where they have RV hookups.   We rested another day there before driving to Raintree Village Children's home in Valdosta, GA where they also have RV hookups.    On Monday, June 22 and again on June 23, we drove to Jacksonville, FL early each morning, arriving back at the RV late each evening.   Ron had appointments to check his heart, knees and a neurologist specialist.    Everything checked out well and we were pleased there were no complications and no surgeries needed.   He did not get to see the eye doctor because the specialist to see about the retina problem was booked until the middle of July.   They recommended he try to see someone at Emory while we are in Atlanta.    I hope he can see someone soon but his eye is doing somewhat better with a higher humidity and lower temperature.     Ron was 83 yesterday.

We drove to Woodstock, GA on June 25th.    Our RV is parked in our son's house driveway.  Some time this past year, we discussed with him about both of us making this our base home.   Our daughter, Leigh Ann and granddaughter, Tatum, moved to Florida in October and left this house vacant.  Ron thought Ronald should rent it but he had very bad renters twice before and he does not want to sell the house.   Ron and I have debated for the past 2-3 years where we should try to settle when we could no longer drive the RV and travel full-time.    We considered several cities but never settled on any place we really want to live.    Ron is not ready to totally give up the traveling but due to the virus, we are forced to do less the rest of this year.   Many churches are not meeting and we cannot visit and give reports on the work.

We spent two days unloading the RV into the house.    We go back to the RV to sleep at night until we can get our stored furniture brought here from Albany, GA.     We set up temporary offices in the house and are working to catch up our work.   We will move the furniture in soon and live here until we can travel again.   

Ron plans to sell or trade the larger RV for a very small RV that will be easier for short trips.   We will no longer live in an RV but take short trips in a much smaller RV if we can make a trade soon.  Ron feels the long drives and maintenance he has always done before is just too difficult for him now.

Because of our age and the high risk of getting the virus and not surviving it, we have been forced to stay in as much as possible.   We have to do banking and grocery shopping but those places are near and not in the middle of crowds.   We had groceries delivered when we arrived in TX and the Kroger store near us will deliver here if we decide to do that.   

We have a lot of computer work to catch up so we are very busy.   I hope to catch up before the furniture arrives from Albany.   Then, I will be busy for a few weeks getting things in place. 

We only have one phone at this time so if you really need to reach us by phone, Ron's number is 678-877-6300.   We are easily reached by email at ronbrown20@gmail.com or patbrown10@gmail.com.
