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.

A FEW COLD DAYS IN WAUCHULA, FLORIDA !!

NO WATER AEROBICS!  TOO COLD!  The Soup lunch planned for yesterday, was planned well.  It was left over ham from Christmas made into ham and bean soup and then they added potato soup from the left over baked potatoes from the Valentine dinner. And the cornbread was the best!

We almost forgot to go to the open house last evening at Highland Art Museum in Sebring, Florida where Gary had three of his drawings on display.  Thank goodness Sandy here in the park, who also had entries on show, called to remind us.  So we hurried over!
Gary's colored pencil entries at the Snowbird Show at
Highland Art Museum in Sebring Florida 

Sandra's oil painting entries.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20th, there was a speaker who lives here in the park who gave a presentation on his trip and work done in Southeast Asia.  Very interesting, but then the speakers usually are!




The gal on the left was one of his most knowledgeable
students!!  She got a bureau chief's position in another
country with a very healthy raise in income.

including school, church and all needed in a village.


Notice the bruises on the body of the boy on the right.

 properties from the body. 

















 Wednesday, February 19th, was our usual dinners out for the ROMEO's  (Real Old Men Eat Out) at Wild Turkey's Tavern in Sebring while the SKPette's went to Cowpoke's Watering Hole also in Sebring. They were both good food!!  Gary never takes pictures at his functions!

Everyone was amazed at this appetizer!
The Escargot at the bottom of picture
was another appetizer that
everyone was dipping into it!


Elsie and Julie 

This was a great room that we had all to ourselves!
We went here last year also.

June in the center here had to give up the
duty of planning these dining out
events for the ladies of the park.
So I volunteered!!  We are expected to
be involved, so I figures this was
something I could handle.
She was shocked to find she had such a
quick volunteer.

Judy and Rose sitting to my right.
I am getting better with names!!  But I have to work at it!!
Needless to say, this was a busy week!!  I was so glad to have today with nothing planned, so I took a nap.  I probably should have gone outside to pull weeks, but put it off instead!!  I am sure I will pay for that decision.
Hope you are surviving the cold also.  We are looking forward to our South Carolina friends coming to visit in two weeks!!  Hope we have good beach weather then!!
Take care and God Bless!!
