Thirty-seven years ago today, was a historic day. The world changed for Karen and I as we completed our move from Tulsa, Oklahoma back to Lakewood, Colorado and signed papers which made us homeowners for the first time. We had driven through very violent weather, including thunderstorms and tornados, to reach Colorado and we were obligating ourselves to 30 years of payments of more than $600 per month for a $65,000 house. We had made a trip earlier to house hunt, when my oil company job moved us back to Colorado. We spent just 3 hours looking at houses, moving back into a neighborhood we had rented in before going to Tulsa. Like most major things in our life, we made quick decisions and didn't do a lot of comparison shopping. We lived in that house for fourteen years, so we did okay with our quick decision. It doesn't seem that long ago. As we signed the papers, we heard the news that Elvis had died. It was a historic day.
Since our first house we have had two others plus our current home on the road. Time has really flown by and we have a lot of memories of the places we have lived and the places we have travelled to. Elvis is still as popular now as he was in 1977. It's hard to believe how much we have experienced in our lifetime. Time flies.
Karen and I need to make a trip in the motor home in a few days, back to Searcy, Arkansas where we had our windows defogged before we came to Eureka Springs. I've mentioned the window leak, and we have a lapse in our Passion Play schedule next week, so we can make the trip and hopefully not miss any play days. It's been over three months since we've moved the motor home, so we need to refresh our memory about how to run this thing. I wonder what diesel costs. But for the next few days we are here, and we have our Passion Play duties to perform. See you in Searcy when next we blog. We ask for travel mercies, Lord.
