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.

HELLO AGAIN FROM MESA, ARIZONA

January continues with our usual social outings with friends. This month's pot luck dinner with the seniors at Trinity Baptist was a celebration of birthdays for the year. Granny Debbie came to share her humor after dinner. She proceeded to show her props including glasses for the class optometrist, John! Her humor continued with a "dress" challenging our imagination of what it would be like to be young again!! Food was delicious and way too much!! First time I have seen a pot luck with so many corn casseroles. Very seldom do you see so many of the same!! Ours is in our freezer now. We spent a second Friday evening going back to Organ Stop Pizza with a first time workamping couple, Eddie and Pam from Arkansas and our Ohio friends, Bill and Jane. We don't get too much of the organ music!! I usually have a five hour day doing scrapbooking each Monday. And Gary usually finds something to run out and about for while I scrapbook. Last week we decided that we girls do not get enough time visiting, so we went to lunch in Scottsdale at Grand Lux Cafe on Tuesday. Not a place that I can afford very often, but it was very nice for a change!! Our Resort has the usual venue of entertainment and we try to do it all, when possible. It is free to us as workampers unless it is "big name" or with dinner. Then we have to buy tickets like everyone else. We got to see Jimmy Travis from Branson. He sings and plays guitar, as well as his comedian routine. He was very good and we enjoyed it immensely!!
Then we had crazy fingers Gordy for our ice cream social. I just love his style of playing also.
The last event this past week was the "Death Ahoy" murder mystery dinner show. We had prime rib and a lot of fun trying to solve the mystery. Of course, we were not correct, but it was fun none the less and we met new people in the park.
The cast was people who work in the offices, the resort manager, our boss the activity director and fellow volunteer workers. The murderer was the gal in the white hat. We thought that it might be Keri, as it had been her for the past two years, and we were going to call her the serial killer. Not!! She got a reprieve this year.
That is our fun for about two weeks, so stay tuned and see what we find to do for the next two weeks. We really need to be doing some new sight seeing also. It does make the time go quickly. Much too quickly, really. Stop back to see us.
