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.

MORE AUGUST IN OHIO

Tuesday, August 10th, we drove over to Medina to visit with Gary's nephew, David and his wife.  We had a great visit with them and they served us dinner, before we returned to the motorhome in Berlin Center.  It was quite a difference in traffic returning home from the time we drove over there.  We need to remember to stay away from Akron during the work/shopping day.  Thanks David and Ryka, it was a great visit!!

I finally made a call to our friends who returned to Ohio (Alliance) this year.  They were in Salem before we hit the road.  But while we were on the road, we visited them at their new home in South Carolina.  It was great visiting with you, Jan.  We will stop over to spend some time with you real soon.

On Friday, the 14th we did the Art Reception at the Salem Historical Museum and also went to the fund raiser here at the park where we are parked for the summer.  Had to show you the guys who did our tasty chicken for the dinner,  They did a great job!!  

Doug on the left is the park manager.
He is doing a great job.  We see a good
improvement in the park's appearance!!

Gary has been going to a wood carving group at the Presbyterian Church in Canfield at least once a month to work with other carvers. Things are always more fun/interesting when done with others!! 


Audrey joined a lady's luncheon at the First Friends Church in Salem which was planned by Cindy.  I never knew that there was such a thing held in the area.  It was awesome and I hope to attend it more often.  I took a RVing friend, Jane, with me.  The gal, Sara, who spoke did a great job.  Her testimony was very inspiring!!


Marjorie, Jane, Karen and Donna who
sat at the same table where I did, all
attend First Friends. 








I have been getting pictures picked out for a scrapbooking work day to be held the Friday and Saturday, September 10th and 11th at the Presbyterian Church in Sebring, Ohio.  Our little group will be going on Friday.  I am looking forward to that time to work and visit with others!! 

Our summer sure has been moving along quickly!!  It will soon be time to do our fall birthdays dinner.  We always do that before we head south.  Most of the family birthdays are in the fall.  Today is mine, another year older!!  I am beginning to feel it, unfortunately!!

You all have a healthy summer.  I hear more rumor of covid, so we are all concered.  But I do believe that it is something that we must get accustomed to!!  Take care!!
