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.

ENDING 2015 and BRINGING IN THE NEW YEAR in OHIO

December 27, 2015
The year is quickly coming to an end! Being tired of ham and sweets, we decided to take Victor and go to O'Charleys after church. The fish was good!!

December 28th,
Carol who is in the Bible Study that I have attended for the past three months, had a birthday.
Ann, Anna, Renaye and her granddaughter
Renaye and her grand daughter,Cheryl, Carol and Judy.
The group decided that this would be our Christmas celebration as well as a special day for Carol by going to Annabell's for lunch.  Very good atmosphere and fellowship there! I got to say "Hello" to Susie, the owner, but I think that she did not remember who I was. She had rented from us when we had the duplex on W. School Street many years ago when she was single.
The next couple of days were spent getting Gary's sister, Janet to a couple different doctors. I think that she is on the right track now and has some medication that will take care of her skin problem. It's been months coming on, so I am sure that it will take time to heal.

December 30th
We finally had a Salem branch Home Savings get-together of former employees. There were twelve of us and we enjoyed the evening at Ricky's English Pub. There surely was no shortage of conversation. In the process of coming up with names of all who worked in Salem sometime during my 28 years there, my final total is 52 names.  We were surprised, but I will try to get contact numbers for more of them before May when we will be back in Ohio.  We hope to get together again then.

December 31st
We decided to join a group of friends at the Conser's to celebrate the incoming year. Of course, there is always good food and much conversation.  Then several of the group decided to play Skip-bo, which is new to us. I watched and hope to get in on the game the next time.
Sandy, Carol, Bonnie, Nile, Don, Gary, Gary R and Gordon.

Gordon, Vivienne, Sandy and Nile.
Plans for New Year's Day, nada!!  Just a day to relax, read and watch TV with Victor.
Hope that you all had wonderful holidays!!  We wish you a Blessed and Healthy New Year.
