judelesemann: July 25, 2020...My thoughts today are full of sad thoughts of what is happening in our country today...children dying of gunshot wounds, policemen being shot and maimed, a disgruntled crowd of rabble-rousers, plus a mob of disillusioned citizens. I grieve for my county. I'm 80 years old and won't have to hang around much longer. I pray we will see peace again before I go see the Lord. Be blessed, Jude
    mrsmajor: Rabble-rousers that's a very interesting description...A mob of disillusioned citizens, another interesting description.
    I too grieve for this country, no child should die, from the use of an illegal gun, no policeman should be shot or maimed, and also no innocent human being should be killed by those that are there to protect every American...At 85years of age, I also pray that all mankind will be at peace again, and every living soul will be able to enjoy God's wonderful Blessings...
    Yes, indeed I am also sad sad today!

    Becky Kern-Taylor: I too am 80 and I mourn for my children and grandchildren. How sad they didn't get the same youthful experiences we did. I grew up in the 50's and what a wonderful era. Poodle skirts and ponytails and cardigan sweaters. Rock and roll, jitterbugging, jukeboxes, vanilla cokes, great hamburgers and cars. Who could ask for anything more. -


judelesemann: and now "Lil' Old Lady Under Umbrella" has been awarded "All Time Best" status and "By His Stripes I Was Healed" reached "Recognized" status.. WOW! Is this a great day or what!!!! The Lord is blessing me beyond measure.


judelesemann: I'm so excited "Lil' Old Lady Under Umbrella" finished first in the member created contest "Humanitarian cause." To all of you who voted for me, a big THANK YOU!


judelesemann: Settled in, bought a house, and NOW will get busy writing again.

I really appreciate all of you who take the time to read my ramblings. I have learned so much from all of your reviews and suggestions. Thanks and God bless, Jude


judelesemann: Had a humongous yard sale today! Can't believe what people will buy and what they'll pay for it! Geee...I was going to give a lot of it to Good Will and decided I'd throw it out in the yard first. We've sold all of furniture except for a couple end tables and two desks! Fortunately the livingroom furniture stays until the 14th and the bedroom set goes to our grandson. Son of a gun...the stuff is gone and we are richer for it! Will do another yard sale in two weeks.
    SueZen: Hey Jude, already sent message, but don't know if appeared, never mind, happy days/life & good for you, get rid of things/stuff, also out of our minds, SO LIBERATING !!! Love Sue xxx -
    Slythytove2: Hi- Sly here
    Was looking around to find the place to go for Fan listing. I've done this before I can't remember what I have to do to get you as a fan of mine.
    Good luck with that Winnabago or RV. But just a note- I learned the hard way- don't go down to the Keys. The price to rent a site is just as expensive as renting a house.
    On the other hand if 1500.00/month is no matter then By all means enjoy.
    I see you like Jewelry Design. My prefession was goldsmithing. Got any designs you want fleshed out?
    I'll get that Fan thing cleared up- it just might not be tonight.

    judelesemann: Hi Sly! we spent a winter in Key West and stay at the Navy base boondocking area...very cheap. We rode our bikes in and out of downtown. Problem with KW is that there are so few RV sites, other than the Navy base. $1500/month is for the rich guys...not for us! -
    judelesemann: Sue, thanks for your good wishes. Yes, unencumber-ing is certainly freeing up the soul. It is amazing all the "stuff" we can accumulate in a short period of time. Cheers my friend, Jude -
    vasquezsavage: Jude, I am vasquez savage. You just reviewed one of poems. I wanted to check you out. My mother's home just sold. She is 86. We have always talked about wanting to get an RV and just go where God leads us. Probably not a good idea now at her age and almost bed bound, but still admire what you guys are doing. I love your writing as well. Thanx again for reading and may God go with you guys. vs/ron, -
    judelesemann: Thanks so much for your post. It's too bad your Mom didn't start traveling earlier. Thanks for the blessing, Jude

judelesemann: HOORAH!!! We sold our house and will soon launch out again in our motor home to travel the country. We bought a 37' 2013 Winnebago Adventurer to live in. Will do a lot of writing on the road. I'll have more to write about than I will be able to handle. YES!!!
    DIS-illusioned: Hope you don't run into any 'bumps' with your plots. :) -
    judelesemann: Hey DIS..we've done this before for seven years and loved it. My husband went back to work so we could travel the world. We've been in over 50 countries and it's time to get back to traveling the USA again. We spent seven years as full time RVers and loved it. We are basically gypsies...in our 70's we love life and love traveling. Life is a real trip and we're still tripping! Be blessed, Jude -
    DIS-illusioned: Sounds absolutely wonderful!
    God bless you both, and please, have all the fun! :)) -
    SueZen: Hi Jude,
    I am a gypsy, free spirit, a traveller by nature... Spent 3 years wandering along the coasts of Spain & Portugal in small camper, very primitively...FABULOUS ! Going off to the 'unknown' again this summer, JEEHA !
    Bless you, enjoy your life's journey, Salut &
    all the BEST, Sue -
    justjo66: You are going to be living my dream. I have wanted to sell everything for years and just take off. My husband and I RV with our travel trailer but never for very long. I wish you much joy and great adventures.

    Jo -
    judelesemann: just..thanks so much for your post. Just bite the bullet and take off! Jude -
    judelesemann:
    sorcieresue...sounds like a great trip you took. Where are you headed this summer? Jude -


judelesemann: OK, Dennis...it is finished!!!! (Don't those words ring a bell???) Be blessed, Jude


judelesemann: All of you who write reviews are such a blessing to me. I appreciate all the suggestions and words of praise for my writings. I have so much to write about...mission experiences and just travel in over fifty countries. I am blessed in my life. Thank you Lord!


judelesemann: Phew...trying to get our house ready to sell so we can go full time in our RV. It's amazing how much "stuff" you collect over just a few years. Have to organize rather than write...yuk!


judelesemann: We just bought a 2013 37' Winnebago Adventurer. We took it to NC on a shake down cruise this weekend. Had a great time. Found a few glitches but nothing major.We plan travel full time in it in about six months. Have to sell our house.
    DIS-illusioned: Love that phrase, 'shake down cruise'. :)
    Good luck with the 'Winnebungalow'. :) -
    storyman29: HI judelesemann

    ThankS for your review.

    This plot is unique and I hope you have the time to continue.There are so many surprises ahead.

    All the best - storyman29

    P.S.I read you travelled a great deal. Have you ever been to Brazil? I spent nearly two years there and many of the incidents while I was there, I use to build up the chapters. -
    judelesemann: storyman29...No, haven't made it to Brazil yet. We've been in over 50 countries so far. March we head for China for a few weeks. -


judelesemann: I am so grateful to all of you generous people who take the time to read my brain spurts. Thanks so much. You are my inspiration to keep on writing. Jude


judelesemann: Finally, back on FanStory after a few years of silence. Need to get my creative juices flowing again.
    DIS-illusioned: That nice pub down the street might just do the trick. Happy--burp!--writing!
    :) -
    judelesemann: Thanks DIS..think I'll uncork a bottle of good Tuscany wine and settle down with my 'puter. Have so many tales to tell...just need to figure where to start!

    kerry singleton: Hi Judelesemann, thank you for your comment I wrote Blurred Vision about myself, reaching into the very core I guess you could say, Thank you for your lovely kind words. -
