More friends visit

We first met Roy and Carolyn Trout in 2008 in Coffeyville, KS, when we were all working for amazon.com.  We thought they were a fun couple and enjoyed talking with them some during lunch.  We worked with them again in 2009 again in Coffeyville.

We keep in touch through Facebook. I noticed they were traveling through New Mexico and Colorado for their summer camphosting job in Frisco, Colorado.  So I suggested they call us when they passed through Alamosa/Monte Vista and we’d meet for lunch and touch base.

So Sunday they called and we met at Baldo’s Mexican Restaurant for lunch and conversation.  They agreed, Baldo’s is the best!!!

The conversation kept going and none of us wanted it to stop, so we invited them to come back to our campground and spend the night…which they did.  Once they got settled in a space, we drove through a few of our campgrounds so they can see where we spend our summer.  They agreed that we live in some beautiful, beautiful territory!!!

After our little tour we settled down to more sharing.  Our new camphosts, Billy and Frieda, also arrived from Texas during this time, so we all got together and I made a vegetarian spaghetti dinner.

It had been a long day for us all, so we retired at sundown.  This morning Roy and Carolyn came over to say goodbye.

In just the day and a half we had together, we learned so much about each other. We shared our fulltime RVing lifestyle stories, SOPs and plans. That’s the great thing about RVers…we know we don’t have a lot of time to get to know each other, so we kind of “unzip” ourselves and let the other person really “see” us and give them permission nose around and find out who we are. 

This is what we did with Roy and Carolyn. What a wonderful couple they are and what a wonderful time we had together.  I hope we have occasion to be with them again.  Thank you Roy and Carolyn for a great visit.

Remember, you are loved.
