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.

GARY'S ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE OF OUR PARK - -

Like I said before, we do keep busy!
Gary likes to plan outings for the morning Coffee Klatch guys, also known as the guys at The Table of Knowledge.
I won't remember the names of the places, but I have heard comments that Gary sure knocked himself out finding INTERESTING locations.  One of the businesses even gave the guys safety vests and hard hats.  
This was the tour at Fly Wheelers:
 

Tour of the Aviation Area at the Vocational School:



Tour of the Metromont Plant - It was the first tour that plant had done, so they were especially good to the guys.  














That just touches on Gary's activities outside of his Art.  And it keeps him out of my hair!!

It's a good thing today that he came back from his time with other men in our park who gather to carve.  If I had needed him while he was gone, I would have been SOL as I had forgotten or didn't hear where he said he was going or what he was doing.  I guess we both need hearing aids!
So that is just a touch on what he finds to do.  
Everyone is going north, home or leaving to travel more around the country.  So it is getting sparse for people around here and we've had our last meal at the Clubhouse for this season.
Friends of ours who we met here (originally from southwest Ohio) , went on a European tour just after they finished our deck and steps.  Many of those guys went.  Now those same two friends are going soon on a World Tour for 274 days.  We will be sitting their golf cart for them while they are gone to keep it working well.  That sure will not be a hardship for us!  We have at times wished we had one of our own.  But we really only need it when there is laundry to do at the Clubhouse Laundry Room and Gary is off with our car. 
You all take care and keep the warm weather when it gets to you!!
