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.

NOVEMBER & DECEMBER in OHIO

November has been pretty uneventful except for doctor appointments and a few visits with close friends and family here.  The results with the doctors were very good.  I am very thankful that surgery was easy and no radiation or chemo treatments needed. PTL!!
We got our oldest son to assist in purchasing a new laptop and getting it all switched over!! That is a praise in itself. 
I went to the Home Savings Retiree luncheon and Gary has been to his Retiree luncheons with his SES friends.  Gary also did the usual Honda oil change in Akron.  And we have also attended our Class luncheons for '62 and '63.
Class'  '63 - Louis, Lynn and Maria, the first week of
November at (B B Rooner's which is under new ownership).

Ruth and Elaine facing this direction.
Elaine does a great job keeping the group together
and informed.

Rudy and Gary
Not sure who is entertaining who!

I am going to put some names with this picture, and
hope that I am correct.  Tom, Jim, Polly, Donna and Fred,
Connie and her husband.
We got together again the first of December but changed location to Adele's.  I did not realize that
Adele's have a separate room, but it was nice and we were well taken care of.
Seems all we do is eat though!!  That must change soon!!
Our Salem friends, Bill and Esther, finally got moved to their double-wide that they purchased earlier in the year in Punta Gorda, FL.  They seem to be settling in very well.  We are envious, just a little!!
I have our Christmas cards sent out and our Christmas emails out.  Today was the last of my gift wrapping. So I am very relaxed.
We missed our grandson's girlfriend's baptism this past Sunday.  Everyone seemed to forget passing the event's plans on to us.  So yesterday I went to Lion and Lamb Store in Salem for a gift remembrance from us.  The important thing was that Savannah's mother attended and our grandson's sister, Miranda, also attended.
All we have left to do is a few Christmas events with friends and family, and our close friend visits.
We have a Christmas gathering here in the Condo Thursday and we look forward to that so we can meet more of our neighbors.  I think that we have had more moving in during the past year.  I will make Veggie Pizza for that and peanut butter, chocolate squares for Christmas day.  No excessive cookie baking this year!!  I'll leave the cookie baking to Savannah. She loves that. We all need diets!!  Though Gary has been doing well with his.
A couple residents on our floor took it upon themselves to plan our event and to decorate the ends of our hall and the main lobby in the building.  It looks great and I always like this time of year decorations!!



Time to rest??
We do have a lovely lobby!!
This is one view from our balcony as they prepare
the walkway to the car-ports to be closed off from
the wind and snow!! They do take good care of us.
The pool is covered also and that is another view from our balcony.  But we will be glad to leave Victor to enjoy the condo during the rest of this cold season!!
I may have a few pictures from the balance of our stay here, especially Christmas. But we are glad to be moving south after that.  Then it will be time to order our hard bound book of the Blogs for 2018.
Have a very Joyous Christmas season celebrating the Lord's Birth, and a Healthy, Happy New Year!!
