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.

BEGINNING HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS!!

Another week has gone by !!
Gary had the coffee klatch this morning with a few guys from around the park and weather was good for it to be outside under the awning!!  There were four of them.
I had a work time at the church for stuffing envelopes with three other ladies and the pastor.  It only took us twenty minutes, but it was a good get acquainted time with new people!! I appreciated that!
Yesterday at church there was the cutest little red head in front of us!!  I just couldn't not take a few pictures before the service began.  She had an awesome color of hair. I don't believe I have ever seen such a red!!

After church we had left overs for lunch at home before going for a cake and ice cream birthday party for a 98 year old lady (Jeanne) in our park.  She is such a sweet thing and still quite active.  We often see Jeanne and her daughter riding about in the park on their three wheel bicycles. And I play Bingo at her table in the Clubhouse. It is nice that the park has a patio just off the kitchen at the Clubhouse so we can be out during this pandemic time.   

Jeanne, 98 years old!!

Birthday Jeanne and her daughter, Jean.

Another lady in the park was out and about on her golf cart and offered us a ride.  Whe-e-e-e!  She is also over 90 and one of the original members here.  She has a lead foot and a very loud horn!! She loves a laugh!!   We do sure have fun here!!
Tuesday, December 8th the lady SKPettes of the park went to the Historic Avon Park, Florida's  Jacaranda Hotel for a buffet Christmas dinner.  It is a beautiful place and still operates as a hotel.

Jeff Klein, pianist, for guests 
listening pleasure!

Another entrance. Their Art Gallery
is in this corridor.
Gary checked it out!

Ten of our SKPettes!
We all did have a good visit!!   With everyone from different locations across this great country, conversation was interesting!!
Not many things/activities have been planned for the park because of the pandemic, so attendance was not nearly as good as it was last year.  We just keep plugging along as best we can.  Gary did make plans this morning with one his coffee friends to go to Lake Placid in January to check out some good Thrift Shops. He and Jan visited us in Ohio during the summer.  So we do have that to look forward to. 
We have a couple yard sales here in the park coming up.  Need to keep making money!!  I am sure that we will find some other things also.  We do have a Christmas dinner at church for New Years Eve and a Ladies Tea this coming Sunday.  So I'll try to keep the Blog moving along.
You all have a good Christmas and New Year celebrations.  Take care and stay healthy!!
