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.

OUR LAST TWO WEEKS IN OHIO before HEADING TO FLORIDA

Here we are on the count down in October.  Time does fly when we keep moving!

Tuesday, October 6th, we met with Richie and Savannah for his birthday breakfast at Das Dutch Haus.

A little early for his birthday the 14th, but we all had to make the best of our time. It was a great visit as usual!!  Then they had to get in their night's sleep after each working the night before!! 

Tuesday evening, Gary also went to his usual First Tuesday with former co-workers from Bliss.  

And Wednesday evening Audrey met up again with her friend, Louise, for another visit and dinner at Olive Garden.  This summer has gone too fast for enough visits!!  Of course, the covid scare is also an issue for safe meeting places.

Friday, October 9th, I scrapbooked for a five hour day at Eugenia's with friends, Leah and Betty/  It was a great visit and lunch!!

Saturday, October 10th, Gary went to the Covelli Center in Youngstown for the Men of Faith, Rally in the Valley. Bing Newton does such an awesome job in organizing these.  They had some awesome speakers, Mike Lindell of My Pillow;  Veteran of Vietnam War, Dave Roever;  Jeff Stultz, Hope Dealer;  Lee Haney, Mr. Olympia; Tim Ginter, State Rep. What a line-up.  These men have such great testimonies about difficult times in their lives and how they turned it around!  I hear that Bing is already working on 2021 Rally. 


Sunday, October 11th, we took KFC to Richard and Lynn's for our last visit with them and Victor. Richie and Savannah were sleeping after their night shifts at their jobs.  Had a good visit, but didn't wake the sleeping!! It's a good thing that Richard and Lynn have such a big house to accommodate everyone!!  
Monday was our last laundry day and our last evening of card playing with our friends, Jim, Carol, Nancy, Kenny and Karen at NEO Park.  That is always a fun evening!!
While I did laundry, Gary picked out some of his art at the condo to take to Florida with us so that he can get in some shows, hopefully.  
We took the motorhome to Williamson's for oil change and any other care needed.  Then we pulled out Thursday morning to head out for Kentucky on our first day on our way south.  
Check up for our stops along the way.  Take care and have safe and healthy winter!!
