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.

EVENTS at SKP RESORT, WAUCHULA

February 29th, Saturday, LEAP YEAR Dinner and White Elephant swap.

The White Elephant Swap was so much fun that I hope they do not wait four years to have another!!
Our gift bag which had a small framed, colored drawing of Gary's in with a couple of white elephants of mine ended up being stolen four times before it went home with someone.  A large work spotlight was much sought after, but not the toilet tissue or cleaning supplies!!
She was more interested in the bag with it's caption!!

Bruce and Cathy and Ed  who are very active in the Resort.

Wow, something big, must be extra special!!

Oops, not !!  She is already trading it!!

Such big decisions!!

Our friends, Robert and Phyllis,
think that she is looking to trade??
Audrey.  What can it be?
I did have it stolen and went home
with a potholder and prune juice!


Captain Kenny says,  "No one
is getting my chips and bowl!"
Our neighbor Skip II, with his
shower caddy.


Decisions, decisions!!

Banana Bread, YUM!
Hope no one takes this!!

My water aerobics friend, Susan.
Oh, what can I trade this for??
 
Hmm-m-m-m
 The evening ended well and on a happy note!!

 Gary and I move on to another day at the Highlands Art Center in   Sebring, Florida where he spends his time drawing and I work all by   myself, scrap booking!!
 I get more accomplished that way.
 There were to be more joining me for scrap booking, but they did not   show.  Oh well, maybe next year.
I get the benefit of the lake view!!

Audrey working away!!
 One more park event, Aloha Luau!!  Of course, dinner is always good.  But then they cleared half of the floor for dancing, while Bobby Remp shared his music and sang for us.
Six of the remaining founders attended!!
We have visited with Jeanne and Vera,
on the right, many times.
Never unable to dance the night away!!


I do believe Ernie and Eva were a founding couple also.
They sat beside us for dinner and we enjoyed
visiting with them.


And never too young!! 
Young'ns visiting Grandpa and Grandma!!
There is not very much going on now with the cancellations because of the corona-virus scare.  So there won't be much more to write about.
Today Gary is working on the wall and shelf for the new microwave.  That should be complete in a couple days.  We opted to put in just a microwave, not a micro/convection combination.  They are too heavy and large to maneuver. So we are saving ourselves the trouble!! But I will miss the regular baking.
It's about time to fix some lunch as soon as Gary will not be in my way, or me in his!!
Take care and we'll see you soon!!
