[A/S] Fleet of Airstreams?




Hi Betty,

My sentiments exactly. Our fleet shrunk from 4 to 3 Airstreams when we 
sold our '86 32' three years ago.  Now, we only have one LARGE 
Airstream ('89 32') for when or if we retire.

One of our SMALL Airstreams (1967 22' Safari) won a blue ribbon at the 
2004 International for "Best of Show 1960s Decade" and a white ribbon 
for "Shiniest Airstream".  That Airstream won't be sold in the 
foreseeable future.

The other small Airstream (1963 22' Flying Cloud) is sitting in our 
side yard with a lonely face waiting her restoration to begin. All 
systems worked when I parked her there several years ago. My original 
thinking was I'd start on her when the restoration of our 1967 was 
finished.

Little did we know that we'd inherit my Mom's Florida home when she 
died a few months ago. Fortunately, Mom's Last Will provided sufficient 
funds to maintain her home for a year or two.

This month, we're pondering the question of what do we do now.  Who 
says we can't have a fleet of Airstreams? Maybe our fleet will shrink 
and become two.  Or maybe we'll.........      But, then again, we 
could..........   Or, how about.......     etc., etc.

And, who says we can only have one house?

Betty is right. Jump in. Life is an ongoing saga of choices,
