Our History

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.

MERRY CHRISTMAS in OHIO !

Our Christmas began with Gary, I and Victor loading up and going to Richard's. We have to go where the action is or it is not much fun.
Of course, Charlie was there for action
or I should say attention!



I like to fix breakfast so my daughter-in-law and son do not have to. I saw a new recipe on FB so had to try it out on them.  Not much to it, so not difficult.
The new kitchen is not finished,
but very functionable. Of course Lynn does not know where
Richard has packed everything away for work time.

Can you tell that I put an extra egg in each roll.
I did not want to take eggs back home!
They were very good!
Lynn and Richie putting finishing touches,
or checking it out?

















By time the gifts were opened, breakfast was ready.

Richard in his easy chair in front of
his latest work, the new closet doors.
The plaster work has come along beautifully.
The new furniture comes later, after
all of the mess is gone.
Looking across the room!
Floor done, tray ceiling about finished and
ready for paint. Put come crown moulding up
and installed light fixtures on the room dividing posts.

The kitchen is about finished except for cabinet doors,
drawers and moving the refrigerator across the room.
Paint on walls and ceiling finished and it has
the same hardwood floor as the living area.
The latest addition was the bar stool/chairs.



















Miranda and Doug had to hurry out to go to his sisters where there is a nine month old. I'll bet that was a fun day!  Rich, Lynn and Richie had to go on to her family Christmas at her mom's. So Victor, Gary and I took off for Salem to visit Janet and take her presents to her.  She did not expect us, but she was tickled with what we took her.

She needed a footstool, so we took care of that also.  Then we went back home to Victor's where I fixed dinner of ham, sweet potato casserole, monkey salad and rolls. Each of us had our favorite desserts, blue berry pie, cheesecake, and lemon bars.  Of course, the cookies and snack mix are never ending!!
Hope that you all had a wonderful day!! Take care.
