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.

UPDATE FROM OHIO, FALL IS COMING ON

Having returned to Ohio from Minnesota, it was time for Gary's sister, Janet, to be released from the hospital after six weeks! I am sure that she was happy, but we are not sure that she is ready to be alone.
Shortly after that Gary's sister-in-law, Loretta, was hospitalized for more than a week. She has been very sick and though she is being released today, she has a long way to go to full recovery. Loretta, we are praying for you and asking friends to be in prayer also.
Then Sunday, Sept. 11, Gary received another text that his oldest sister in Alabama had just passed away. Talk about overload!! I think that this summer has been it.

 
While in Minnesota with Ben, we were fortunate to see him get a new apartment that will save him $300 a month. It is not farther to drive to work, but it will be closer for us when going to visit him as it is south of St. Paul. The only regret probably is that it is up three flights of stairs so he looses the two entrances that he had before, especially the one out onto a patio. Also a loss of a garage. Maybe 
he can find one around town as this is a small town and country setting.

After getting settled back at home and getting Janet settled, we had invited a few couples from our Sunday School Class to come and visit for an evening. Two couples braved the heavy rain and stopped by and we enjoyed it very much.

There is not much else going on except to get all of Janet's doctor appointments and scripts taken care of before we head south. Just know that it must be soon as we can see weather changing into fall.
This is the extent of our update. So we bid you goodbye until next time we have more newsy events.\

Until then we will show you some more extensive pictures of our new to us condo.

Guess this says it all. We are happy to know that this is here for us, but we are anxious to hit the road again!
I ran into a friend from high school this morning at Walmart. I haven't seen her or talked with her in several years. It was great to catch up. She said that she would love to travel, but her husband will not. Of course, it is not for everyone. You have to be comfortable with it.
