Our History

Ohio, United States
Having recently retired we are fulfilling our long time dream. We began our camping life with a tent in 1969 adjusting as each of our three sons arrived over the years and gradually progressed to a 32' Class A in 2007. Even after our sons became too busy with their own interests, we continued dreaming over the years. The Louisville, KY 2003 Great North American RV Rally and the book "Movin' On" convinced us that a motorhome after retirement was really for us! In 2007 we sold our home and disposed of most of our belongings and awaited the wife's retirement on February 1, 2008. We were out in our first motorhome ten times in our first summer in 2007, with our grandson joining us eight of those ten times. Since he must stay behind with his mom and dad to continue school, we told him he can join us on vacations (by car or plane) anywhere we are as we travel the US. Imagine the history lessons he could acquire! However, Mom and Dad don't look at it that way, especially the flying. Fortunately we don't miss work one bit!! We just miss the friends there. We have many hobbies to keep us busy when we decide to sit still for a day. Hope to see you on the road.

THANKSGIVING GREETINGS from Ohio and the COLD!

We have arrived! Yikes, snow! We would rather have had sun and beaches, but wouldn't trade the visit with our family and friends! Our grandson has been to visit us at his uncle's house and wanted to stay all night. We will spend some time baking cookies, but I am sure that what he will enjoy most will be playing games with his uncles! Our trip through the mountains was very different scenery ! No leaves this time . But at least there was not any snow on the roads! We got into snow flurries about an hour from our destination, and were glad that was all. Don't know what is wrong with our memory, but we have forgotten to take the camera with us anytime we have done anything here! We will catch up with it and will post some on the next Blog. We were pleased that our timing was right for the dedication of the addition to our home church, First Friends of Salem . There was a great service in addition to the dedication and the house was packed! I also got to attend the Thanksgiving dinner Monday night with the scrapbooking group at church and surprised them. Had a wonderful visit. We are looking forward to more visits, parties and nights out! We will share with you again soon. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. We sure have plenty to be thankful for!
