We are running into one frustrating snag after another with our Arizona Gypsy Journal Rally and we are teetering on the edge of whether or not to even hold it, so I’m going to vent a little bit here, if you will allow me. Two years ago the fairgrounds changed the starting time for our […]
A lot has been accomplished in the last few days, and it’s a good feeling. Very good, indeed! I worked hard on the paper again all day yesterday, and by the time I knocked off a little before midnight I had the new issue of the Gypsy Journal finished, except for the front page photo. […]
Thank you to everybody who e-mailed yesterday expressing concern for my health issues. I spent most of the day resting under the air conditioning vent, I must have drank a couple of gallons of water, as well as Propel, and by the end of the day I was pretty much back to normal. Or at […]
I’ve had a chance to read over all of the feedback forms from our Yuma rally, and Terry has most of the paperwork wrapped up. Much of the results are about what I expected, though some are a bit surprising. There are always a lot of feedback forms that tell us we’re doing a good […]
Thank you to everybody who left comments or sent e-mails in response to yesterday’s blog. You help me reaffirm to myself that it’s okay to be selfish and put ourselves first once in a while. Terry and I are both the type who always want to please others, but we are discovering that, just as […]
Tom and Barbara Westerfield had been here at the Pima County Fairgrounds RV Park the last four nights, and yesterday morning it was time for them to head on down the road looking for new adventures. After they had pulled out of their site they stopped across from our rig to hook up their Jeep […]
We haven’t finished all the paperwork yet from our recent Arizona Gypsy Journal rally, but the clock keeps on ticking and the calendar pages keep on turning. For those of you who have been asking, online registration is now open for the Ohio Gypsy Journal rally, which will be September 3–7 in Celina, Ohio. This […]
Yesterday was the last full day of the Arizona Gypsy Journal rally, and after coffee and donuts this morning, everybody will be pulling out and hitting the road. Some will be staying in nearby RV parks, others will be heading back to their home bases in different parts of the country, and others will be […]
Okay, I admit it, my friend Greg White was right. Last September when we were shopping for our iMac computers, Greg kept telling me that while Macs have a good reputation, they are still computers and they still break down from time to time. Of course, I didn’t want to hear that. Greg was right. […]
Okay, I’ll admit it! I’m still not wild about Mission, Texas and the Rio Grande Valley, but I will admit we’ve really been eating well in the three days we have been here! Our friends Ron and Brenda Speidel took us to a wonderful Chinese buffet with a hibachi grill called, appropriately enough, the Hibachi […]
In the last week I’ve had three different people tell me that $5 a gallon gas is coming this summer, which will put an end to the RV lifestyle as we know it. One gentleman told me he can’t decide if he should sell his RV now while there’s still a chance to get something […]
Well, I was hoping to be able tell you that my new book, Big Lake Lynching, was available on Amazon’s Kindle bookstore today, but I ran into a formatting problem that I kept trying to resolve until past midnight before I finally gave up in frustration. I’ll tackle it again today, and hopefully be successful. […]
It was hard to say goodbye to Greg and Jan White yesterday but we had places to go and people to see, so it was time to hit the road. The good news is, it will only be a month or so before we join up with them again at our Arizona Gypsy Journal Rally […]
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 […]
All of you folks in Texas can quit complaining about the droughts. Nick’s here to make it all better for you! We arrived Monday afternoon under a bright blue sky and by evening it had clouded up and was looking ugly. Yesterday we had heavy clouds all day long, lots of fog, and a few […]
It’s been cold the last couple of days, and downright freezing at night. I guess it’s time to start heading for Arizona, my work here is done. 🙂 Actually, in spite of a couple of cold snaps, we’ve had pretty good weather in Florida this winter, much better than last year. But we’ve sure been […]
As I’ve written before, I am developing a bit of arthritis in my hands, and sometimes after a long day at the keyboard, my fingers and knuckles just ache. A while back I started researching the Dragon speech to text software to see if that would make life easier for me. For Christmas, I bought […]
Where does the day go to? Sometimes I look around me, and I realize it’s almost bedtime, and I have no idea what I did all day long! Yesterday was a good example. We woke up and stayed in bed for a half hour or so, talking about our plans for the next few weeks, […]
I’ve been putting in a lot of hours at the keyboard every day, trying to get the sequel to Big Lake finished, and I was getting cabin fever. So yesterday I took a much needed day off. Our friends Stu and Donna McNicol are staying at an RV park in Clermont, and we had not […]
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, […]
