Hi Jaime,
Welcome aboard! Whereabouts in Saskatchewan are you? I spent a year in Saskatoon a long time ago filling in for U. of Sask. faculty member who was on sabbatical. Very cold in the winter, but usually sunny, and I loved it there.

Hello Froggi, Tim & Robyn, Thank you for your welcoming words. I look forward to jumping right the forums to get to know you’ all. I live in Regina, South of Saskatoon our winters are just as cold and accompanied by plenty of snow. In the mid sixties, I lived in Saskatoon to attend college. In 1999, I took a leave from my government job to move to Laredo Texas. My first trip was for two years. I came back to Regina and in 2002; I took another leave and returned to Laredo. In 2003, I returned to Regina and resumed my position with the government. I will take early retirement at the end of 2008. The warm weather and no longer having to shovel snow in the winter was the deciding factor for me to retire in Texas. I decided on full time RVing, as it will provide me with the freedom of mobility around the country. Cheers, Jaime

Here I set in Texas 104 degrees and a little snow does not sound bad right now. Welcome to the forum....better get that in before I melt. Joe and Sherri

As full timers we didn't retire "in" any state or province, we move around. You can also.

We have only spent a couple nights in Saskatchewan, but I found I really like Saskatoon Berry Preserves and am still hoarding a jar.

Hello Tim & Robyn, Speedhitch and bjoyce, Tim & Robyn I do not mind a mild snowy day, if I can be inside next to a fireplace with a good book and watch the snowfall outside my window. It is the blizzards, icy road conditions, the 40 below days that have finally gotten to me. My current job has me on the road a few times a month and in those conditions I do not like to venture out, in fact I have to cancel many road trips in the winter because of weather. When I was in my twenties, it never occurred to me not to venture out or be concerned if I was caught in those conditions. Somehow the older I get the less adventuresome (in poor snow conditions) I have become. Hence, I began thinking about the Southern part of the country where the sun forgets to go to bed! LOL My first winter in Texas spoiled me. It was interesting though, when I knew I had to go on the road in Texas in the winter my first thought was "I wonder what the roads will be like" , I was still in the winter mind set from up North. Saskatchewan is a pretty province with many lakes and trees especially in Northern Saskatchewan. I live in the Southern part of the Province a few hundred miles away from the USA border. Speedhitch, Thanks for the Welcoming words. I am looking forward to getting to know people in here and learn about everyone's experiences. bjoyce, I will be making Laredo TX my home base and travel from there. I realize I do have the make a trip back into Canada for tax purposes, but I will be discussing that with Canada Revenue before my departure for the South. I know I need to get all my ducks in a road so to speak. Saskatoon Preserves, yep they sure are yummy! Cheers, Jaime

Welcome, my husband and I are fulltimers from Ontario and have been on the road since Aug23, 2004. Ottawa is our home base and it sure is cold by the time we can leave Canada as well as when we return. I envy you being able to retire in Laredo! Sandra

Hello Sandra and Lois, Thank you. Sandra did you purchase your RV in Canada or USA? I am still researching MH and will likely purchase a Class A in the end. Not sure what brand etc. Lois you would like Sask lots of trees further North, I live in the southern part of the province. I have been looking through this site to know were to post some of my questions about MH and what to watch for when buying used or new. Cheers, Jaime
