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.

OREGON FRIENDS VISIT OHIO, and BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

Another week has gone by. And our Oregon friends, Tim and Judy, left our park this morning for southern Ohio as they progress toward their home it Oregon. They wanted to see Noah's Ark and the New Creation Museum.

We first met them at their church in 2011 and have since connected a couple times in Mesa, AZ and again in North Carolina at their friend's a couple years later, and now this visit in Ohio.

We took them to Stage Coach Inn for fish dinner, which was delicious, as usual. Then she fixed us dinner in their home on wheels after church on Sunday. It was nice to share our church time with them after five months in their home church in Sandy, Oregon years back.
It was great to share time with them and introduce them to some of our family here in Ohio for birthday celebrations.

I found Richard,s collection of photo albums at our condo,
so I had Victor bring them to the rightful owner!
Now it is share time of the many hours of work to put
together the many years of Richard;s memories.

OK, put on your appetites.
Glad that you got your DQ cake, Savannah!!
Ben, remember this stairway?
I couldn't resist this opportunity for a
picture memory. 





We are now back to our routine, Gary will spend the day today by himself here in the motorhome, while I go to Bible Study and TOPS in Salem. Not sure how late I will be as I sure won't stay after dark if it begins to rain (which is forecast).
Tomorrow Gary will go to Alliance for the SES retirees luncheon and Wednesday will probably be laundry day in the condo.
We still have a variety of doctor and dentist appointments before we head south. Hope to get all taken care of without delaying our leaving this snow and cold area. It is beginning to turn pretty cool, though we hope for some hot days yet.
You all enjoy the fall weather and color as I do see the changes beginning. Take care!!
