Its All About Image

So it turns out parking your RV on a nicely treed piece of land in Wylie, Tx for any period of time is kinda looked down upon. In comparison, parking the same RV in a campground is seen as camping; or traveling; or better yet “full-timing”, which is the socially acceptable term for people that live in their RV. And just so I don’t offend any full-times, I’m sure that 95%....85… I’m sure that at least 75% of the people that live full time in their RV are doing so by choice and traveling the country and enjoying their leisure. Either way, “full-timing” is a lot more glamorous than living in your trailer on a nicely treed piece of land in Wylie, Tx.

So, I’ve decided to move the house to a campground, and once again take up status as a “full-timer”. I’m now parked in a “nicely treed campground” in Wylie, Tx. That’s right, I’ve officially declared the land a “Campground”, and thus improved my social status immensely.

And with that improvement of status comes a lot of perks. For instance, in a campground it’s socially acceptable to stand outside in plaid pajama bottoms and t-shirt and fry bacon and eggs on a portable stove set up on a picnic table. It’s also okay to wash your dishes in a couple basins and toss the water around a nearby tree when you’re done. After all, you’re just adding the bread crumbs and bacon grease back into the earth where the plants and insects can organically recycle them. Try doing those things in a subdivision or neighborhood.

So, I’m currently living high on the hog, so to speak in a nice little treed campground in Wylie, Tx. If you happen to get to the area, we’ll run an extension cord for you. We accept all types.

For example, just this weekend a stray border collie showed up, and since there’s always a dish full of dog food outside, she made herself right at home. Seems she likes us and has decided to stay for a while. Course as I just now look outside and see the two dogs sprawled out sleeping next to the pick-up truck, I can’t help to think, You Might Be a Redneck If…..

Life is good. God provides.
