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.

LAST WEEK IN PENSACOLA, WINDING DOWN

I had lunch Wednesday, September 16th, with the ladies from our class at Olive Baptist, at Egg and I.  Great lunch and wonderful visit!!
Carolyn, Ruth, Gail, Henrietta, Lana, Audrey
Joann, Diane, Nikki, Emily, Lydia and Teresa
Diane- thought I might copy your haircut.
Hope you do not mind!!
Of course, it won't look as good on me,
but that is okay.  I just have to have a no-muss do.
We are packing up more as Gary dug the luggage out from 'under the floor storage', along with the blankets to take with us. Getting down to the wire, and the last with most effort is cleaning out the fridge and freezer so it will dry and do laundry. Have to prepare for three months to keep us happy.

Thursday dawned very overcast, but decided to go to the beach anyway!!  There isn't supposed to be rain here today anyway.
Think the clouds and dark are going over toward the north.
 Yeh!!




Dunes here are not nearly as high as NC, thank goodness!!
I'd never make it across.

Awesome!!  Love the power of the ocean!!  God's power!!

There were several surfers out there, but difficult to zoom
and still get the waves.

Isn't zoom wonderful?



Ah-h-h, here comes a big one!!

Clouds are disappearing somewhat!!  Sun is out for sure!!

After a couple hours we decided that it was time to get some lunch.  What to get??? We don't want left overs because we have some more eating out before we leave and the fridge must be empty.


Delicious!!  We will remember to go back here.  They have two more locations in Mississippi. We enjoyed looking out over the marina behind it.  There was an ELKS right next door, but no space for RV's to stay overnight. Bob and Bill thought I would let you know..

Friday, suitcases full after two loads of laundry this morning.  Gary had breakfast with the men from our Class at Olive.  They went to Scenic Cafe' 90 in Pensacola
Men from our Class at Olive Baptist in Pensacola.
Sorry, a few were not in the pictures.
Of course, one has to be taking pictures, right?

And we both went to meet with our Ohio friend. Karen, at OarHouse for lunch.  Had a great visit!! Pictures aren't as good as with the camera.  Had to use my phone. Of course, sun behind us does not help either.
Gary, Karen and Audrey
Karen, we look forward to seeing you again in January!!
Interesting scenery.
Two days to finish and get the car packed.  It is more of an effort for us as we are taking our hobbies along with us to tide us over three months when not gadding about. And some stuff to put in storage, maybe that will lighten our load in the motorhome when we move on in January.  TAKE CARE AND SEE YOU SOON.
