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.

WINDING DOWN - - WINTER IS COMING!

OCTOBER at last!!
Gary went to his last First Tuesday gathering at Inner Circle in Poland.  Much catching up there.

Audrey had her second evening with Home Savings friends at Mike's Penn Grille, but there were not as many attending this time.  We really missed the ones who said they would be there, but were not able to make it after all.  So keep tuned for next summer!!
I am going to share some pictures that Marsha shared with us in July on our first gathering of Home Savings, Salem people. She entered these in the Canfield Fair.  I did not know of her talent, so I am happy to share it!
Sorry, but my picture taking was not
up to par on this one!  A lot of detail here!
No ribbon here, but I think there should have been!

Red ribbon.  The shading was awesome on this!!
My last Scrapbook day on Perry Street in Salem, which includes card making and some crocheting, was fun but always sad to know it will be another year before we are together again.

We did a cook-out at Rich and Lynn's with my sister's great chicken recipe for the grill.  Lynn had never had this chicken before, but she sure found out what she was missing!  It was a good thing that I prepared as much as I did!!  We had a few days of leftovers.
During our time out and about, we happened upon a Craft Show at Bunker Hill Methodist Church. We had to share this liquid acrylic art work.  She even teaches it.  So Savannah, check it out! 



Monday, October 7th, we had Richie and Savannah meet us at the Dutch Haus for dinner.  It was wonderful to have one-on-one time with them!!!  We must do that more often!!  He shared more about work and she shared her interest in art.

We ran into a friend from days past at First Friends Church who works there.  So we introduced the kids to her and picked her brain about employment there.

I got started on Christmas gift shopping after I found something that I had to get for Lynn, our daughter-in-law.  So I finished up the very last day before we left.  I had fun doing this, but did not find anything for Victor.  I am sure that he can do better with money to add to his camera collection anyway!

Our last Sunday together was at Royal Chinese Buffet and Grille in Boardman.  We invited our friend, Rick to join us.  And I ordered a cake to Celebrate our upcoming 55th anniversary on October 24th.

Richie, Savannah, and Lynn
Victor must be sharing something interesting!













Guess it is time to head south when I have to dress like this to keep warm in the evening!!

Our next stop is West Virginia!! Then Mt Airy, North Carolina and on to Lexington, South Carolina to visit for a week with our friends there.  Stay tuned.
