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.

MORE OF LAS CRUCES, NEW MEXICO

March 17th, Saturday, Gary went to a Car Show. I told him he should do the Blog about it, but he has not bothered. So I will show a couple of his pictures because they took my fancy. I tell him when you see one car show you see them all!! Of course, that is not actually true, but one goes a long way for me.
Reminds me of Harold's old green truck,
though Harold never restored his.

Just interesting.

Gary could have bought this for me.
I always want a yellow convertible though it
doesn't have to be a VW.












Then we went back to La Posta for dinner on Sunday, March 25th, and I told you that I would take some more pictures from there since our last Blog. So here they are.
Views from our table.

Gary got many years out of this picture!!

And Gary got many miles out of this dinner.
Between both of our dinners, we had many more
meals through that week!!


These are more views inside the restaurant.  I promised them, but decided not to go back to the first Blog to insert them.  Just enjoyed the adobe style and the age of the building. La Posta is in the Historic part of town, Mesilla NM.


Another mountain view, north in Las Cruses, I think.
I can't keep my directions correct in my mind.




Tim and Judy, I think that it will be a long time before we see another quartet, like the one that we saw in Mesa AZ.  
We went to see one here in Las Cruses, only to find that two of the members were not with them because of health. So we saw just two members. Another fellow from this church did signing with them on one song. So that added a little more interest. They did some hymns, and then other songs that the mother had written which were interesting. Some with a Western theme.

Stone Mountain Spear and ?? Dart.
So the names were good for a few jokes, but I can't
remember Dart;s first name. 


In the mean time we have done some Thrift Shops and visiting with Mildred and Pete, Gary's cousins.  The rest of the time we just puttered around here at home and rocked in the winds. I guess that is typical March weather here!! Gary had the car washed and it wasn't 24 hours before it was covered from heavy dust spots again. Needless to say, Gary is irritated!!
Gary went to see Pete this morning to be interviewed about his military service time.  He's doing the interviews for the Library of Congress for Veteran's stories.
I have begun some food preparation for Easter Sunday's dinner here at home.  We decided that going to stand waiting for an hour or more to eat out was not worth the wait.  So we will have Chicken Alfredo here at home.
Our other outing this past week was a trip northeast to Silver City to see the Indian Cliff Dwellings, but I will show those pictures in a separate Blog. Check it out!!
