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.

UPDATE FROM ARIZONA ABOUT A CHANGE IN RESORTS and WINTER PLANS

Since arriving at Apache Junction, we have been busy getting acclimated. Our first two Sundays were spent fellow shipping with old friends at Calvary Baptist in Mesa. We have a church picnic coming up on Saturday that we are looking forward to.
After church this past Sunday, October 8th, Gary decided that we should eat at Olive Garden. Since we had gift cards from our son, Richard and his wife, Lynn, it was a good choice!!! Thanks again Rich and Lynn!!  We had an awesome waiter who was so pleasant and helpful that we took home enough Chicken Alfredo for another three meals for each of us. Eat your heart our Pearl!! I know that is your favorite dish, and he gave us many Andre' mints!!  We'll have to remember to take him his favorite cookies, chocolate chip!!

Gary's belated birthday celebration?

This is our home location in Apache Junction, though we were not happy with our site layout. It sure was a tight squeeze outside.  Because of the angle that we have to drive to get out between the electric light pole and boxes and the front corner of the motorhome, we were not real happy with the site. Gary has been in and out many times and I have driven it twice but that does not really make it any easier. 


It is just a short walk to the office and pool complex, so we find that convenient. However, since last weekend, we decided that the job situation was not worth keeping and staying in this park.

So yesterday we went back over to Mesa Regal where we have stayed three other years and made a good deal for a site there.  We will be moving on Monday!! No more working for this winter.

We look forward to our fun activities in that park, Gary's colored pencil workshop which he started a few years back, the genealogy workshop, wood carving, my scrapbooking workshop and a TOPS club meeting all within the park. So we are happy campers!!

Then this morning Gary has had two calls from the nursing home where his sister is located. It seems that her situation is declining. So we ask that you all keep Janet in your prayers, and us also if we decide that we have to make a return trip to Ohio by car. Things can change hour by hour!!
God Bless you all!!
