Finally, we enjoyed a camping experience with cooler temperatures, however, we had rain, a lot of rain. That’s okay with us. It was a great opportunity to test our wet-weather van camping skills and tools. We realized quickly that we did not have an umbrella, the floor gets dirty real...
It was an exciting day at the end of May, when after much planning and dreaming, we bought a used 2024 Ram Promaster 3500 Cargo Van, and dropped it off with a custom builder to be converted to an RV. Two months later we picked it up and made the...
It’s the beginning of September but the temperatures haven’t gotten the memo! We’ve been enduring triple digit heat for weeks, but I think we may get down to 95 tomorrow. Yay. 😐 I haven’t posted an update all summer, nevertheless, life’s ups and downs have not ceased. In my last...
Dale and I are currently dog sitting while our new high school graduate and her family tour California. We’re considering it an eight-day adventure vacation, well, Dale has to work, but we’re doing our best to have a few adventures. The first half of this year has slipped by like...
Our granddaughter, who is an amazing baker, made Dale and I some delicious treats to take on our trip to South Dakota and Michigan last summer. We thought it would be fun to save one of her Blondies and photograph it in many of the places we visited. For Christmas...

The first Saturday morning of January was a good day to go on a short road trip. We weren’t interested in our normal activities around town, especially with so many post-Christmas shoppers and back-to-school preppers. So we headed toward a town that my friend Cheryl took me too last year....
November is always a good month for us: Dale and I both celebrate our birthdays and our anniversary; we get to spend time with family for Thanksgiving; we decorate for Christmas; and the temperatures cool down a bit — but not much. As a matter of fact, it’s been very...
We first celebrated our anniversary in Fredericksburg, Texas in 2002 for our ninth anniversary. Over the years we have spent many anniversaries in or around Fredericksburg, and we’ve enjoyed every one. So when Dale whisked me off to Fredericksburg for our 32nd anniversary, I was extremely happy about it. Dale...
