Ya know, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s ok to just REST!
Providence RV Park in Lake Fork is a great place to rest
Making a living, raising kids, our own and sometimes some others.
Saving money, investing, trying to get to the point of retirement.
It’s enough to wear a body out, or maybe drive a body crazy,
Or in some cases, put you in the ground!
I think the best advice before that happens is, REST!
And the best place I’ve found where there is peace and quiet and rest,
is Providence RV Park, if I do say so myself.
Here at Lake Fork here in Quitman, Texas, there’s everything you need – natural beauty, friendly neighbors and time to recharge your batteries. Though there’s plenty to do, it’s ok if you just want to rest!
And Providence RV Park is one of the few full time RV living parks at Lake Fork.

The colors of life in sunset and trees
My wife decided to paint our living room at Providence RV Park. “What color?” I asked.
That is a simple question, I thought, and I should have known better than to ask.
You see? When my wife says paint, re-paint, new color, etc. IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE COLOR, what shade of this color or that, how many drops of “burnt umber” it has, if it shines or doesn’t shine…… the color is about what kind of “life” will it give the room and pass on to those who enter, visit, and fellowship there. In other words, a living color.
One question, ”HOW IN THE WORLD DO I FIND THAT COLOR?” Where can I buy it? How much does it cost?
I know that when I ask “What color?”, she might just say, “I don’t know, but I’ll know it when I see it.” And in fact, She will!
Wives, and probably most women, have that ability.
Most of the time they DO know it. The right color, the right piece of furniture, the real friend, real love when they see it, the best thing for them, their kids, their husband, their family, etc.
In other words, LIVING COLOR!
We have that at Providence RV Park.

I was painting one day and trying to pick colors. And then I saw God’s painting. He’s quite a show-off and just look at what He showed me. This beautiful western sky over the trees. Note the deepening & richness of colors as twilight came.
I hope that is true for my life. In the twilight of my years, I hope He paints a deepening of faith, a stronger depth of values, even richer relationships, and spreads on more wisdom. I know He will if I just stay on His canvas.

Are you serious? You mean crappie fishing at Lake Fork between Yantis, Alba, and Quitman Texas?
I’m serious! I know when most people hear the name Lake Fork, the next phrase is, ”Yeah, Best Bass fishing in Texas, or anywhere depending on who you ask.
Here at Providence R V Park located at 1762 FM 288 in Quitman, Texas, we seem to attract a lot of fishermen, and women, who are very particular about what they fish for. One couple, who has a spot in our park year round and visits when they feel like it, decided to hire a guide and go fishing. And we have some incredible fishing guides in this neck of the woods. The wife came back with a black bass as long as her arm, and real heavy.
I got a call from a man in Delaware who wants to move to the Lake Fork area, to our R V park. I asked him, “ How did you decide to move from Delaware all the way to Lake Fork to live?’
His answer, “Fishing!” And his favorite kind of fishing, Crappie of course! Why, Lake Fork has Crappie tournaments, Bass tournaments, Catfish tournaments…
You get the picture.
So if you’re a real fisherman, or woman, and need a clean, quiet place to park your R V for the time when you’re not fishing, take a drive thru our park and see what you think.
You know, another thing we like, CRAPPIE FISH FRIES!
Best of fishing to all,
James

Autumn Arrives
Trees Turning
Cider Simmering
Squirrels Scurrying
Fall’s my Fave
It’s beautiful in autumn here at Providence RV Park in Lake Fork.
As summer fades and autumn arrives, I’m reminded of how perfect this spot is for year-round RV living.
Enjoy the season from your friends at Providence RV Park

It was the 4th of July and it was quite a celebration at the Providence RV Park, one of the few parks that allow full time RV living!
Some of the full-time, part-time and weekenders at Providence RV Park join in for a 4th of July celebration.
Did we get together? YES
Did we have good food? YES! You know, the salad, the brisket, the potato salad, the desserts, and I mean we had desserts! The deviled eggs, the chocolate cake,
Did I mention the deviled eggs?…..You get the idea.
Here at Providence RV Park at Lake Fork Texas, we decided to have a 4th of July dinner. We invited all our community, and ALL who were at the park came.
Have I told you, we have the best bunch of folks you could have in an RV community!
We had our dinner, and then we talked, then we ate again, then we played games, then we laughed, and laughed, and had a great time. We really do have the greatest people here, and they all could relate a story about life.
Of course, we always honor our nation and all the people that keep it safe and functioning. We also honor our GOD who has intervened on so many occasions on the nation’s behalf to continue what He started.
If you make it here by the next 4th, then YOU can be a part of our Celebration at Providence RV Park. Providence
Come and see!

Residents and veterans gather for feasting and fun to celebrate our nation. So glad I live in America, the Land of the Free. So glad our founders persevered and crafted such an amazing Constitution. So glad so many have sacrificed to maintain it. Awesome Land of the Free. Makes me want to set off some firecrackers 🙂
Come celebrate 4th of July at Providence RV Park near Lake Fork, Quitman, Texas.

OUR BIG NIGHT OUT! 
Man! What a time we had last night! Well, it was a time anyway, joined by some who do full time RV living.
We met our RV friends at The Red Dome Restaurant in Quitman, Texas. We had dinner, great conversation, and then, and then we decided to throw caution to the wind and go and see a movie.
Oceans 8, at the Historic Select Theater. One screen, one snack bar, and one auditorium, and retro prices. Can you say, “Old Fashioned”? Yes, it’s the oldest continuously operating movie theater in Texas.
The History Select Theater and now also Lake Country Playhouse in Mineola, Texas, is a historic movie theater and you could NOT beat the atmosphere. It doesn’t even matter what’s showing; it’s not about the movie anyway. I can’t remember having that much enjoyment going to the movies in a long, long time. It just seemed like there was not as much pressure as going to the movies “in town.” It seemed like it was OK for us to enjoy our time without having to report to our friends that we saw “The Latest”, or “The sexiest”, or the “Wildest”, or “Bloodiest”, or the whatever the movies are supposed to be.
We live a part of our life at Providence R V Park out by Lake Fork. Arguably, the best bass fishing lake in the state of Texas, or maybe the USA, or, depending on who you talk to, THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!
This R V Park is a little different. It feels sort of like a pressure relief valve, and I don’t know any one who doesn’t need RELIEF from the daily pressure of life we all seem to live with. I have a permanent place here, my own personal relief valve, and I just don’t think I can give it up. My wife wants me to live a lot longer and I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t think that will happen without my relief valve.
And part of that relief is the people in our community. People who live here are probably the best neighbors we could have. They come from all walks of life, professions, backgrounds, but sooo friendly. Real salt of the earth types. And I would bet if you ask them, they could sense the relief as well.
I love it here.
Come and see! Come and stay: part time, full time, or join us just for the weekend.

I was just having a conversation with our newest guests at Providence RV Parks this morning. You would think when someone talks about full time RV living they are probably older or retired or just can’t take care of a house like they used to. Well, you’d be wrong!
These people are mid-thirties, young by my standards, “seizing the day” type folks! They know where they are going, and how to get there in style… AND LIVE! We couldn’t be happier to have them added to our community in the woods.
They filled their days jogging, hiking, fishing, oh and yeah, working. He worked in IT from his RV and she did travel physical therapy. They enjoyed doing what they had to do (work) as well as doing what they wanted to do (play) without loosing anytime cleaning house, doing yard work, keeping up with the Joneses.
Are you ready to make the switch? Stop by and talk to some in the park who have made the transition to full time RV living.

Well, we got a really big one in today! RV that is. Brand new, Landmark 43-footer. Three big slides, three ac units, self – leveling, etc. It is amazing to me to watch the unit level itself, by itself, without my help. It’s got it all, and it’s beautiful.
And the young owners are so pleasant to be around. Matter of fact, I’m glad ALL our people are here, and fun to be with, and they all help make up our pleasant and peaceful RV Park community here at Lake Fork.
What a really nice place to live! Have you thought about living full time in an RV? Think about us, one of the few parks near Lake Fork that allows full timers. Come for the fish; come for the quiet; come for the peace.
James
