Home Sweet Home...sort of

We are alive and well in Florida!  Have you missed us?  For those of you who wondered, what the heck happened to those Bakers, we got to Florida for Christmas and liked it, so we are still here! I know, you guys up north all had a very mild winter but one does not make a trend!  We have established our residency in Florida on a concrete pad at Thousand Trails Campground in Clermont, Florida. It gives us a place to leave the spare car (which we re-appropriated from Sarah) when we travel and gives us a place to call home.

Geoff quickly found buses to drive here carrying happy little campers to and from the vacations of their dreams. No, he's not working for Disney, he's working for MEARS, the company that does all of Disney's transportation outside the parks. He loves it, and no, he will not be returning to PA to drive!  People have asked us how long we will be here. Our response is... "Until we're not."  We have a lot of Florida to explore, and we're planning a trip to Virginia in June for my 35th Reunion at Mary Washington College.


I have been busy building my SendOutCards business with workshops and other events at Thousand Trails while building my network in Orlando. I also opted for a Disney Annual Pass, as the options for Florida residents are irresistible, but more on that later!


on our way to the Techno-Geek Learning Rally in Bushnell FL next week, to get a "geek-over," but more on that in my next post.  I hope you are all enjoying spring wherever you find yourself.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  It seems like forever since I have been in communication! 

Sarah flew in to join us and we spent a lovely Thanksgiving in Columbia, SC with our friends, Bill & Carol Buck and their family. Then it was on a NC/SC Newmar Rally - Christmas at the Beach - in Myrtle Beach. We had a great time with our Newmar friends and as usual, enjoyed Myrtle Beach.  Then it was on to Orlando to spend Christmas in the sunshine and the shadow of Disney.  We spent Christmas Eve at Universal Studios munching on fish and chips at The Three Broomsticks and riding the Harry Potter ride ... followed by Midnight Mass and  We rung in the New Year with our new friends at Thousand Trails with music and dancing.  

The holidays are over and we are  busily creating the future. Actually, the future is NOW and it's time to GET UP AND GET BUSY!  Geoff has taken a position with a company here in Orlando that he really loves. He's driving coaches for Mears Transportation, taking people to and from their dream vacations.  I, on the other hand, am focusing on building my SendOutCards business.  I just returned from Salt Lake City this weekend where the company announced exciting new options to grow the business.  SendOutCards is on it's way to becoming a household name!  If you haven't sent a card on me, please go to my website at www.LauraSendsCards.com and send one now! It will get printed, stuffed and stamped, and mailed first class with my compliments!

So here we are in Orlando, enjoying the sunshine and settling in for the Winter.  In order to keep from moving around so much while Geoff is working, we have taken a seasonal site at Thousand Trails in Clermont, FL, just down the road from Disney! So if you are vacationing in the area, let us hear from you! Our phone numbers and e-mail haven't changed.

PS: for those of you who followed Yoshi's surgery, he has fully recovered and has more energy than ever.  He has made many new friends here in the park and loves everything except the "sand-spurs".

Best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

Laura, Geoff and Yoshi
