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.

TOUR OF HARVEST AVIATION at WAUCHULA, FL


Our New Hope Baptist Church offered a tour time at Harvest Aviation.  I did not know at the time that it was planned because of NHBC's shipment of chairs for a mission group in Belize. The group attending the tour was mostly the mission group of the church and our group of five from the SKP Resort.  It was a good tour after which our five went to lunch at Giovanni's Italian Restaurant in Wauchula.

Good food and great visit with our neighbor, Skip and Bruce and Susan from across our park. 

I watched a fellow take a plane up for a ride. 
I remembered when Gary took his hour ride
a couple years ago..



Gary has a chat with Eric the Harvest CEO
who spoke at a Men's Ministry meeting 
at the church a week ago.  He is quite 
interesting because of his past ministry and
mission work.



The green plane here was recetly donated
by a doctor. in southwest Florida.


Gary went inside the plane that will be taking 
the goods to Belize. 


Gary loves these tours!!


Our group hearing all about the plane that
will make the trip for shipment to the
missionaries in Belize.  Liz who we knew
first from our church was sharing 
information with us.

Joan, Susan, Liz, Bruce and speaker, Eric.

Shipment to soon go out.

Mostly our church group.

Liz begins our tour!! She is so knowledgeable
as she is a paper pusher, packer, mechanic, 
( and a pilot though not in these planes).

Liz answering questions.

Gary has also been volunteering at the Art Galary in Arcadia Florida and will soon begin a class to teach colored pencil drawing.  He sure keeps busy!

This past Sunday the Troy Burns family conducted the music portion of our service.  They were here last year also and presented a great service!! Awesome voices and awesome songs!! 

Not too much going on in our park, except an ice cream social this afternoon and Bingo tonight.  So stay tuned and we will continue to share.
Take care and stay healthy!!
