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.

AN UPDATE FROM OHIO

This past week has brought some news that may cause some change in plans. We are taking one week at a time!! This coming week will bring outpatient surgery for Audrey. Then until we get the pathology reports, we will not know what follows. I asked the doctor if this has any relation to the former cancer that was removed. She said no, but it could be related to the Tamoxifin that I took for five years after that surgery. Go figure!!!  Makes me wonder why we take any meds???? Please pray for us.
We have made tentative plans to take the motor home to the Florida panhandle for winter storage until we are sure we can leave Ohio for the winter.  Our previous plans to go to South Carolina for a month have been postponed for another time.  We will certainly miss seeing our friends there, Sandy and Mike!!!
But as our RVing friends, Bob and Donna say, Our plans are made in Jello for a reason - they can easily be changed.
We are still at the Campground, but will go to the condo in with our oldest son after we take the motorhome south. I am sure the water and electric will be shot off here at the campground soon. It is definitely getting colder here. I dug out my winter slippers this morning!!
After scrapbooking yesterday with my friends in Salem, I decided that I need to keep this busy work handy for the next few weeks.  I may sit down to work on it yet today, especially when Gary turns the TV on in the living area. He is now working on his drawings in the back room work area.
We will continue our visits with friends and relatives while here.
Our last visit was with Audrey's cousins, Betty and Larry who we met with at Bob Evans near Eastwood Mall. However, we forgot to take pictures that evening and Larry was in so much pain with his back that we did not make it a long visit.
Our other visit was with the Ross's, cousins from the east Cleveland area who we met up with at a restaurant in Middlefield/Burton area. What great visits!! Everything from computers, sewing and politics.
The Ross's, Bill, Tom, Judy and Barb,
with Gary, Victor and Audrey
 Before our cold snap we did have a few fun sunsets and sunrises. Love to share those.

Tomorrow will be our grandson, Richard's 21st birthday.  We look forward to that time of fun and feast! His choice of restaurant was Longhorn. And next Saturday will be the annual Boy Scout spaghetti dinner at the United Methodist Church in Salem.
In the mean time, Gary and I continue our eating out and running with our closest friends.
Stay tuned and we will update you in a week or so. Have a great day!!
