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.

ANOTHER PLAY DAY in FLORIDA!

MARCH 17th, Thursday -
While in Arcadia yesterday, Gary made plans with my great niece's husband, Michael, to visit his work place to see two Warbirds (T-28) that they got in for restoration.So Gary and friend, Bill, took off for Punta Gorda Thursday. These are toys belonging to the rich and sometimes famous!



It made Bill's day when he found out that Michael was a former Marine!!

While they were gone I stayed with Esther in their Rainbow RV Park near Frostproof, Florida.
We enjoyed 5-Crowns for a couple hours and then drove on to Frostbite Cafe' for a delicious lunch, including ice cream.













They advertise "staying back in the "50's".  Then we went back and played a couple more hours so Esther could recoup! Thanks Esther, it was great!!

On Friday, we went in to Walmart in Bartow to get my script and to finish getting the groceries that we might need going from here to SC for a month's stay, to sight see and enjoy visiting some friends.
They had forecast rain for Friday here, but then it got moved to Saturday and Sunday.  However, it is nearing noon on Saturday, but there is still no rain yet.  I can handle that. I enjoyed sitting out to read yesterday. I won't always have the shade for that.
Gary has been suffering headaches so much since Wednesday. He is thinking that it is pollen, but I wonder if it is not a sinus infection. I guess time will tell.
We don't have much more going on while here, just getting ready to move on and Gary has his last Art Class on Tuesday down in Wauchula, FL.
