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.

TRAVELING ON SOUTH into SOUTH CAROLINA to VISIT FRIENDS

We were so saddened to loose one of our South Carolina friends.  Mike passed away a couple months before we headed south.  So we decided to stop Monday, October 18th to share hugs with his wife, Sandy.  We also spent some time with other friends there at the church we have spend time in throughout our traveling years.  We met them all in 2008, our first year on the road.  Sandy was in an auto garage waiting for work to be completed on her car at the same time we were doing the same.  We surprised her by turning up at her church the next morning!!

This visit Sandy was expecting us!! First thing we see as we enter her kitchen. I may have shared this with you before, but was worth sharing again.  YUM!!


The first evening was supper and Bible study at their Church of the Living Word.  Great fellowship!!
Pastor's wife, Vicki  -  She's checking
out Mary's desert!!  You can tell we 
all enjoy eating!!



Johnny, his wife Mary, and Sandy!!


Fun, fun!!  Mary and Sandy



Pastor, Jack and wife Vicki.
Sandy and I did spend part of a day working on our scrap booking.  Then she took Gary and I on a jaunt to check out Lexington's Thrift Stores.  She knows that is one of our pass times.

Another day we had made plans to meet up with Johnny and Mary at Shealy's Buffet Restaurant.  Gary always thinks we have to go there at least once during our visit with our closest friends there.  Again, YUM!! 

We also had time to sit out and enjoy their weather on her patio.  So enjoyable!!

After we left there Friday, October 22nd, we finally arrived at our winter location in Florida,  Sandy had a couple of her friends help her decorate her mini van for Trunk or Treat.  She sent me a picture of their great work and I had to share it with you.  A great message!!   

Trunk or Treat!!  

This banner greeted us when we entered Sandy's kitchen.  She said that a friend made this for Mike to have hung in his hospital room.  It was so-o-o Mike!!  I'm sure that he was very pleased with it!!


They were such a sweet couple!!

As we journied on south we noticed the change in the fall colors.  So beautiful!!

I didn't notice many reds though.

We also had a rock from someone's tire hit our motorhome windshield!!  Seems it's always something!!
Our next Blog will be from Florida and about Florida.  Take care and stay healthy!!
