ADAPTING TO CHANGE - 28 -
Waukesha, WI 1973/1975
We finished Website # 19 introducing a system to help all of you to create a planning tool, (The Way to go) with a helpful image to use these tools whenever you have situations for use. Before I can end the numerous mentioning and explanation of the issue called "Change", it is better, maybe even necessary to clear up any misunderstanding and make a better understanding between the Planning tool (page # 27) and the Image inserted on this Page, labeled as "Change". There is not much to explain on the Planning tool, self-explanatory; however, Change needs some additional clarifications, it is not a tool for anything only a table like presentation of items, which can and most the time are the catalyst for Changes. It took a little time to write this sentence, I wanted to make sure to make it very clear. In some circles, Change I
Getting Ready
Many prior Websites revolved around most likely, as more negative as positive, however I tried to evaluate each one in a more positive way and presented my thinking and feeling to you very detailed. Today I will utilize the extra time because of the semi office reassignment. During my normal working time prior to all the past calamities, this really threw me back unexpected and very hard. During wintertime,'s most likely staid close to home caring for all the daily projects, particular snow removal and giving a helping hand to the rest of the family. The extra time spent with my children was until then a big improvement and benefitted the whole family. That would take care, without to much difference from before; however the change in the summertime, where hardly ever was a lot of extra time to spend with the family, opened up unexpected hours of extra time. How can we utilize this extra time, but finding the answers to this question occupied my mind for a long time. Many different routes I had to go without finding the perfect solution to the problem. The only productive action for solving a problem is to find the ANSWERE. The same could be said how resistance be eliminated, very simple by CONQUERING. This very straight approach helped to find what to do with extra time and reutilize to the satisfaction of the entire family member. In previous, years since the youngest girl reached around six, we went on small vacation or weekend excursions that found applause all around. Most the time we did not went far enough to come home in a day. It did not find the approval expected the constant closeness inside of most hotels my children not used too. Very easy to understand comparing the surroundings they are normally live. All this and more came to my mind to find the solution to solve the problem. The Family talked many times about a big camper with all utilities attached, enough living, and sleeping facilities and special the extra-equipped toilettes. After some consideration, we all agreed it would be nice and accommodating but not plausible. The Investment not cost effective. however created an idea in my mind that found approval. Another very important issue on a big Camper would have been a problem for sure. A new and bigger car had to purchase and for me driving such a very new experience was not in my mind at all. I recommended to all to purchase Pop-Up Trailer and start trying much more to my liking the experiences of camping from the bottom up and not the other way around. During my completely live, I did things from the bottom up and most the time have been successful; no reason to do the opposite comforted me.
Going South, Sunshine State, April 1974
It took a little while to find the right trailer to purchase inasmuch none of us had any experience in this regard. Eventual the one found fitted our needs and seemed to do the anticipated expectations. Never did I before towed a trailer or anything like it. Many years ago, when I learned different trades and profession, driving a truck expected; however there is no relation between manipulating a truck and towing a Trailer. There was not too much time and efforts spend on a possible destination for our first adventure with our Pop Up. "Florida" the undisputable choice. It made me very happy that once in awhile a decision made without a lengthy discussion, but even so I received by my family more than once as having dictatorial tendencies. My action mostly in a feeling of being responsible could have looked upon as that. Weeks before our departure packing and getting ready occupied most our time, we all enjoyed it. I kept a diary at that time, it was a big thing for all of us, and a well deserved Vacation. On 4/6/1974 we started at 4:15 AM and heading for Florida. The Highways towards Florida all under construction. Converting the existing four lanes Highways to Interstate Highways. The driving therefore very slow but giving me ample time and opportunity to get used to towing a trailer. The direction to Orlando, Fl. went straight south, and we camped during the two night. We arrived at Campground Yogi Bear on 4/8/74 at 3:00 PM. Adjacent to the famous Walt Disney World. Our first choice to get into the Disney aborted, one must have a reservation and we did not. Shortly our children a little sad; however, the anticipation perked them up fast. The driving with the Trailer went better than I thought. Before I closed, my eyes reevaluated the impressions and happenings of the day and thanked my Dearest Friend for our protection and blessing. Every time I mention Him, tears come to my eyes. Where would I be, without Him? In the morning, all refreshed we drove to camping Ground of Disney and parked in the new ground including swimming pool not without complication. While I rested or better slept, the family frolicked in the nearby Pool. At their return, they found me badly sunbird
mostly looked upon as being bad, for sure negative. None of it is true. The main assets of Change are as follows: FLEXIBILITY OPPORTUNY EMBRACING CHANGE NOT STEADY EVERYTHING IS IN MOTION! I took quite some time to come to you and make such important declaration. That means in very clear term Change is never static but always in motion or better called Dynamic. I am very proud to give your this tool for know and for your future to look on Change with a opportunity and not the end of something. To give you a very good example, there are more but this one should make it perfectly clear that Change is Dynamic. Example: Every second you live on the planet you are in motion, not standing still, but being in a Dynamic state with a speed of 1000 Miles/hr. All I can say Amazing!
and could only think or say Mea Culpa. From the Campground to the actual amusement park we had to take the convenience of a boat to get there. Their very famous Monorail to all available facilities supplied most of the other transport needed. It would be too cumbersome and too much writing mentioning all available. I am only recommending to each one who is eager to experience such an unforgettable adventure. Leaving the Disney Campgrounds and spent a few days in Indian Rock and Kissimmee, Shopping and camping until the time arrived to go our other reservation came due at beautiful Campground at the southern tip of Petersburg, very close to the Gulf of Mexico and the famous Sunrise Bridge. The Park is located in Pinellas County and based on Historical event, originated by Spanish Conquers, called "Fort De Soto'



Fort De Soto, Camping
We made reservation one week prior, our arrival with rules and guidelines outlined. The first picture presented is the exact vision I had when the idea started using a Pop-Up Camper. Even a more strange occurrence that the setting of the Camper is not only similar but looks exactly, including the children, like our setting when we started camping for the first time. He must have been with us. Never could the beginning develop like this without His Blessings. Closing this Section Page #28 with including an Image of the famous Sand Dollar, this is at this location in abundance and preview of the next Website Page #29. There is a lot to tell you about our first camping and Fort De Soto.
The other day I heard a statement, which is powerful, it said...
