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.

CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES 2022 - Enjoy!!

My last problem Blog seems to have published !!  So I will begin a new one. 

Sunday, December 11th, the youth of the church provided a lovely lunch for the Senior Department of the church after the morning Service.  It was a good meal and great Fellowship.

That same evening our S. S. Class had our usual Holiday cookout and carry-in at the Ranch of Wilbur and Susan's.  They raise cattle, 140 acres of watermelon, and orange groves.  Another fellow from the church brought his Smoke Cooker to do Pork Steaks for us.  Yum!!!

Probably getting ready to take pictures, 
and Wilbur on the right.
The ranch is quite large and a family
business.

This past Friday, December 16th we went with another couple, Jan and Skip  from our Park for Fish dinner at Olympic Restaurant in Avon Park before going on to Fly Wheel Light Show at Bowling Green FL.  It was a drive through show and very pretty!!!  I can't imagine how much work to get all of the lights out and about!!  















Santa and Mrs Claus about to sit in the 
carrousel.

These ladies are sitting in one of the buildings
on the grounds.  They were waving and calling
out to us.


There were many buildings and tractors to be seen!!  We understand that the show used to be a walk-around after you parked your car in the fields.  We were quite content with it as it is shown now.  Very pretty and we hope to see it again next year.

Wilbur again accepted Gary and a couple men from our park to visit their Ranch.  The guys love it when Gary makes these plans and Wilbur is ready with many stories about the Original Old Florida !!

Ian took it's vengeance out on.

Many cedar trees on their acreage:  

In fact their current house was built from the cedar on their ranch.

Wednesday, December 14th,  the ladies of our park (the SKPettes)  went for our annual Christmas lunch at the Historic Jacaranda Hotel in Avon Park.  It is a beautiful place and we love the Christmas decorations.  I am trying to find a new place to go to next year for a change.  It will be a difficult place to replace!!  
There were more than twice this many ladies
the past two years.  But we always enjoy it!!

I still have more to share just from the first of November, so tune in again!!  Take care and stay healthy!!
