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.

ALONG THE RIVER, MORE OF WABASHA, MINNESOTA

More of Lower Minnesota!!  I could not get pictures moved from our new phones to the computer. It is principally the same, but some setting must have been wrong. I tried for days before I succeeded. Gary asked if I made notes of "How to".  Didn't take the time, too many things for my hands all at once. I may regret it. We'll see!!
If I had taken the camera rather than just phones for pictures!! Next time I will take more effort!!

Today, Memorial Day, we had planned to picnic with Ben, but he text this morning and said how about next weekend as it's too hot. It is supposed to hit more than 100 degrees today. It was 88 before noon.  So I know what we will be eating all week, picnic! But as always our plans are very, very flexible!  Our campground cleared out early today as I think that they all picnic-ed the past two days. But we did get pictures of the PARADE back home from this morning -
This is Salem's Cubscouts, Troop 2.
Our grandson is the driver. This tractor is he and his dad's
summer fun.  They already have the garden in, though
Richard feels it is late!

The parade along State St. 
Thanks Pastor Pete for this picture!!

So back a week or so to our trip when we were in Wabasha, MN we also toured the Eagle Learning Center which I had not shared with you. So here goes again!
Looking from their balcony along the Mississippi River.

Looking from their balcony the opposite direction.
Beautiful scenery!













There were two school buses of children who arrived right after we did. So it was noisy! We did not take too long to look around so we would not be in their way.  The Center had a learning classroom for them and there were so many displays that were explained to them. The rotunda and it's binoculars was awesome!













There was a separate room for live birds who had been captured because of injuries and nursed back to health. However, they are not good enough to be back in the wild.


From there we went on to the displays of stuffed, etc. The real thing, but not live!

Another room was full of art work !!








Gary went to the Shop first!!
 Then went to Antiques shops too.  These items are for my daughter-in-law with the farm house to look at for decorating. Not my interest. 

Then on to another, more to my liking and I bought here!  I have to be careful as they have to fit in the motorhome for the rest of our summer on the road.  


I already have five extra boxes going with us for gifts back home!! So it is getting crowded!
Take care and maybe we will get out again tomorrow.
