Hanging up the R V keys. October 11, 2021, 07:35:35 pm A few years ago I thought that the time had arrived for me to hang up my keys. I wrote about this subject on this forum and included my struggles to accept these facts. As many of you may still remember I survived my illness and retained my driving license. Although Mary and I did not make any long-distance trips since, we still had some good times hanging around enjoyable West Coast areas.Approaching the big 90 now, with some age-related difficulties, the time has arrived to say to our 2001 Lazy Daze: "You have given us great pleasures but the time has come to serve other family members".It is surprising how much easier this decision was made, compared to a little over two years ago, when I was afraid that my health was forcing me to hang up my keys. We both are completely in peace with it now and enjoy the many memories.Since there undoubtedly are future Lazy Daze owners that sooner or later will be confronted with this decision I can only say: "Keep living in a positive mind and enjoy a new kind of life".Aad Rommelse 19 Likes

Reply #1 – October 11, 2021, 08:02:21 pm A decision we all have to face eventually, no matter how much we’d all like to put it off, time catches up with all of us.My dad turned in his keys at 80 and sold his Chinook later that year. His limited time on the road spurred me to retire as soon as possible, to have more time out there.Sounds like you’ve had a great time! 1 Likes

More importantly I hope I have the wisdom when it is time that you have shown. Thanks for the good example. And I don’t think I’m all that far behind you even though I am much younger. John 1 Likes
