When we arrived at Elkhart Campground in early June we were told that a big RV rally was scheduled for the third week of August and the entire place was sold out. That wasn’t a problem for us because whenever were in this part of the country we always come up to Muskegon, Michigan to […]
(Sung to the tune of Fly Me To The Moon) Anybody who knows us knows that Miss Terry is an avid weaver, and you have probably seen my pictures of the beautiful articles she has produced on her loom. Weaving is one of the earliest known art forms, dating back to Neolithic times, approximately 12,000 […]
A while back I posted a blog titled Strange Sights about some of the oddball things we have seen in our 17 years wandering America’s highways and back roads as fulltime RVers. But we’re not the only ones who see things that leave us scratching our heads and saying “huh?” When our friends Tom and […]
Yesterday was a gray, rainy day and there wasn’t much going on at the RV park except for people walking their dogs. I have owned a dog most of my life and I love them, but every time I see people out in the rain with a dog sniffing every blade of grass deciding where […]
We had a lot of e-mails and Facebook posts yesterday from people asking if we were okay. Yes, we’re fine, and we appreciate your concern. The bad weather that hammered much of the southeast Tuesday missed us here in central Florida. We got some rain, but that was about it. We have some of the […]
It’s very often true that you get what you pay for. Sometimes when you make a purchase, it’s better to spend a little money up front for value that will last you a long time. A good example is Tilley hats. The first time I saw one I thought that they were a waste of […]
Today wraps up our two-week stay at the Long Beach Thousand Trails preserve, and Tuesday we’ll be returning to the Seaside Thousand Trails. We booked a three-week stay there, but I’m not sure how long we’ll actually stay. If the weather keeps being wet and nasty like it was this past weekend, we may start […]
We loved our week with my son and his wife in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, but all too soon it was time to say goodbye and hit the road. Travis and Geli came over about 9 a.m. yesterday to see us off, and after a lot of hugs and a few tears shed, we left the Elks […]
Congratulations to Bob Moritz, this week’s winner of our Free Drawing for an autographed copy of Al Hesselbart’s great book of The Dumb Things Sold Just Like That! We had 214 entries in this week’s drawing. Thanks everybody for participating! Stay tuned because the next drawing starts on Wednesday. If you didn’t win and want […]
Yesterday was a stay at home and work day, which was just as well because I was a bit under the weather and didn’t really feel like going anywhere. I managed to get quite a bit accomplished on the new issue of the Gypsy Journal, which will occupy most of my working hours for a […]
We had decided that yesterday would be a good day to just stay home and hang out, do a little reading, play on the computer, and be lazy. But apparently we were the only ones expecting a slow day. I was comfortably ensconced in my Strongback chair reading my Amazon Kindle when I heard a […]
Well, the weatherman was right. It poured several times yesterday. At one point we had water streaming off the front of the motorhome like a fountain. The interior roads here at Sturbridge Outdoor World are dirt/gravel with a lot more dirt than gravel, so we had some massive mud puddles that the many kids here […]
Yeah I know, on the surface Greg White seems like an easy going kind of guy who’s always ready to pitch in and help where needed. However, things aren’t always what they appear to be. Where is Greg when I need him now? We have developed a leak in our Splendide washer, and instead of […]
I’m glad Arizona is a community property state, because Miss Terry and I share everything. Currently, she is sharing my cold. I’m not sure how grateful she is for that, but the good news is I’m feeling a lot better! In fact, if Terry weren’t so stubborn, I’d be able to pamper her and take […]
It was in the upper 70s in Mesa, Arizona last week, and tomorrow we are looking at 62° and rain with a low of 38° predicted. Yes, Nick is in Arizona! I have to apologize to my friend Mark Didelot. Mark called me yesterday morning but I was so out of it that I’m not […]
Sometimes when I’m trying to figure out a problem and get stuck, I find that if I step away from it for a while I come back with a whole new perspective, or the answer may even come to me when I’m doing something else entirely. So it was with the formatting problem I was […]
We have had a wonderful time visiting with Greg and Jan here at Galveston Bay RV Resort. But alas, it’s time to move on! There are still a lot of miles between us and Arizona and we have some stops to make along the way. Yesterday started with lunch at King Food, a wonderful Chinese […]
Well, is it over? Have we officially put the holidays behind us? Can life get back to normal now? Or at least whatever passes for normal with us? When I crunched the numbers yesterday, I was amazed at what my mystery novel, Big Lake, had done on Amazon. In December alone, the book sold 33,539 […]
Miss Terry worked her magic again this week, and as of this morning, the newest issue of the Gypsy Journal is moving through the mail toward their eagerly waiting subscribers. Now it is, officially, playing time! 🙂 Well, if playing includes trying to finish the sequel to Big Lake by the end of the month, […]
I wrote in yesterday’s blog that we planned to sleep late, and then do absolutely nothing the rest of the day, and I’m a man of my word. That’s exactly what we did! Sometimes we need days like that, where we shut out the rest of the world and just play hooky from life. I […]
