This evening before supper we took a short walk around the French Creek State Park Campground; at least B loop, which we are in (B-28). Very few are out in midweek May, and the quiet is refreshing. Just up the way from our site we found a larger coach nestled in the trees (and some fresh poison ivy!). The travel map on the side of the 40' pusher showed almost every state and province of North America visited, and not just driven through, but VISITED. We were contemplating walking to the door when a most cheerful and vivacious woman bounded out of the coach and introduced herself. Millie Snader invited us to sit for a spell. Then her husband LeRoy came out and together they warmly made us welcome. That's how we learned they were full timers. But next to them we are truly only Newbies!

This is their 10th year on the road living 12 months a year in their wonderful 2004 Holiday Rambler. The Snader's keep their legal address at their daughter's home in New Holland, Pa, their original starting place, but their home truly is wherever they happen to be today. This is the same service Jenn and Chris, our two married daughters are offering us.
Millie and LeRoy have gone where we want to go, at least in the way we'd like to do it. No plans much beyond, "Where do we want to go today?" Stay for a day, stay for a month, but go where and when you desire. Where and when God sends you.
Millie asked what I did and Mona told her I was a soon to be retired pastor. They asked which church. I loved Millies answer, "Oh United Methodist! Yes, that's a good religion!"
TY Millie and LeRoy for making our first actual camping evening such a memorable one!
PS: The gas/electric water heater is working like a champ! TY John McGrath, once again, for your kind advice!
