A CABIN OR A CONDO, WHY SHOULD I CARE? (June 13 - July 24, 2020)






Our time at our cabin has come to end after 114 days and, as I construct this blog, I am sitting at a large desk in our condo in the WYNDHAM KINGSGATE RESORT in Williamsburg, Virginia.  While the cabin is "technically" our place of residence, it feels like we've come  "home".

The familiar blue glasses are on their shelf.  The white linens and soft pillows on the King size bed call out, begging one to settle in for a nap.  So many familiar things await on arrival and each, no matter where you land, says; "Welcome home".

I will miss the quiet refuge of the "Point" and the "Wi Golf" and the"Westerns" I watched with Sherry's brother.  We were there so long that I watched the garden planted and harvested.  Thanks to Covid, I made wonderful memories that will not be forgotten.We were blessed with visitors to the cabin and our daughter's home in Avon.  Mike and Elisabeth Adams came to the cabin and Mike and Lois Crawford drove over to Autumn's from Ohio. Good friends are good medicine for the soul.
Now it's time for 6 weeks of our  WYNDHAM life.  We will have to see how that goes .  

 

REFLECTIONS 

Cabin life or condo life, it's pretty much the same.  You eat, exercise, sleep, read, mess around on the computer, talk on the phone with friends, take your meds, shower, sit in the sunshine, listen to the rain, pray, write a blog, watch TV, and do other stuff.  Day in and day out, when you are retired and elderly, it is pretty much the same.  So much so,that you tend to lose track of what day or date it is.

In reality, neither the cabin or the condo will be my ultimate residence.  There will be one final journey and one fantastic homecoming.  There we won't worry about what day or date it is.  We won't have to remember to take our meds.  We will really be "home".

Until then I chose to enjoy each day and each challenge.
