Our History

My photo
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.

PENSACOLA FLORIDA

MAY 12, 2012

HELLO AGAIN !!

Gary and I head out and about the area on Saturdays.  Then through the week Gary has time to do things on his own.  I have been with my brother most of the time through the week.  It doesn't keep me busy in and of itself, but I managed to finish up scrapbooking, do spread sheets of scrapbooking layouts that have been completed, sorting and throwing out many pictures (I have pared five boxes down to two with room to spare), catching up with Blogs, trimming shrubs and much reading.  So I am caught up on the scrapbooks except for my grandson's.  I sure hope that they have photos ready for me to use for his album. 
In the mean time, Gary has the motorhome all cleaned and waxed, many little time consuming jobs done and has been reading much more than usual.  This is a new hobby for him in this past year!!  So that is one more thing that we accumulate to take with us.  However, we do give them away as soon as we finish reading them.

Drifters RV Resort getting a trim.  This is the view behind us.


Home is where we park it! Which is a little 22 site park on the north side of Pensacola.  Very nice and good neighbors!



Our first drive down along the coast was awesome, as always.  Sand and more sand!!





What you see next is why they call it Emerald Coast!!






What a drive!!



















Great Fish and Chips lunch, big enough to split!!



Even a freightliner through the bay.

 Having problems spacing after bringing photos in!!














Another day, Gary's outing - - -


Opps!!  Can't flip!!  153 steps up to the floor below the lense, and Gary did it all!!


Looking up!!


And looking down!
 Then he went on the Pensacola Air Museum.






How about that glasses repair??  Some engineering, huh??
He has since gotten new glasses.


Another day, another lunch.  Good Mexican Restaurant, La Hacienda.
 Not much else going on here!  Each day is pretty much the same. 

This past week we met the Seniors from East Hill Baptist Church at O'Charley's for lunch and had a great visit with new people!!  Met a long time RVer, Jonni Strawbridge.  She and her friend were so sweet and interesting.  She wants us to visit at her home to swap stories about fulltiming.  Her husband has been gone for a while so she no longer goes motorhoming on her own.  But she still goes to the FMCA rally near Pensacola for one day.  She is looking forward to it.

Gary will soon be here to pick up me and all of my STUFF that I have been working on.  It is time to stow it for our next move.

You all take care and see some of you soon!!
