More pictures at Twin Lakes
It was only 86 degrees this evening -- that's much cooler than the 98 earlier in the week. So we decided to walk to the other side of the lake to take these pictures looking back at our spot.

Twin Lakes
We are now living in our coach. We are in a very pretty location, Twin Lakes RV Park, in Cumming, GA, 33 miles north of Midtown Atlanta. We are in a wooded site overlooking the lake, From my desk I can only see the lake and trees -- there is not another RV or building in sight. And somehow we managed to find a spot where the satellite dish works so we even have TV. This picture is a view of the lake taken only a few hundred feet from the coach.

The move from the condo into the coach was more stressful and chaotic than we could have imagined. We knew of people who had parked their RV next to their house and spent six months to a year preparing. We had two and half months and our coach was parked miles away.
Jill had been interviewing real estate agents late last year, but we had not listed the condo for sale when, on June 26th, she got an email from an agent asking if he could show the unit the following Saturday. We spent 48 hours making the place presentable -- we had previously emptied our storage locker into the living-room and there were boxes everywhere.
On Monday the agent brought us a signed contract. Days listed = zero! But the deal was contingent on us being out by July 30th -- the buyers needed to be out of their apartment on July 31.
It took a U-Haul truck, multiple trips up and down Georgia 400, and several sleepless nights. The new owners had the keys to the condo and we still had stuff in the building's hallway. It was not a pretty sight.
There are now boxes everywhere in the coach and stuff in a storage locker near here. It will probably take us several months to finish organizing and stashing so that we can really "hit the road." We will definitely need a vacation!
