Friends

Livingston has actually become home.  It's because of all the familiar faces I see when we return from a trip.  No one here is a stranger.  We are welcomed into any group activity and conversation is always at a premium.  We met old friends today at the pool and it was a great time.  They have daily pool exercise group twice a day and you can show up or not what ever floats your boat.  The people we meet always seem glad to see us.  Good feelings.  I feel safe and secure here and participate in the activities - especially tomorrows ice cream social.  The Escapees Escapade is at the end of August in Gillett Wyoming and we will be there.  A thousand sites are there for the week long event held for all Escapees everywhere.  I am so looking forward to it.  Most of the folks around here volunteer here at the park or Habitat for Humanity or the SPCA.  I decided to do my part and start washing dishes at the Escapees Care center Monday until they hire someone.  The Care center is for elderly Escapees who need meals, some medical care, rides to doctors etc.  Their campers are parked around the Care building and many people volunteer to keep the center running.  I think it is a great service and am grateful to be part of such a wonderful group of people.
