I’ve been goofing off, but it’s really not my fault. It’s hard to concentrate on writing when I can hear the surf crashing onto the beach from my motorhome and the wind is perfect for kite flying. Damned hard. But I did manage to crank out another 1,000 words on my newest Big Lake book […]
Okay, I don’t hate you, but I hate everything else! Especially the dweebs that invented computers and the internet in the first place. It took me over two hours to get Tuesday’s blog to load. Every time I tried to publish it the photos disappeared and everything became one long paragraph with no breaks between […]
No I wasn’t at Disney World, but I had the words to that old song running through my head yesterday. While we were having lunch with Don and Sharon Del Rosario the other day, we had a conversation about the small world encounters we all have from time to time. You know the ones I’m […]
Much of the last week has been spent getting the new issue of the Gypsy Journal ready to go to press. I finished it yesterday afternoon and then Terry spent several hours proofing it before I uploaded it to our printer’s web server. It always feels good to get another issue behind us. This is […]
Thank you to everybody who sent me suggestions for products and home remedies for the gnat bites that have been driving me mad. As it turns out, Miss Terry had the best answer, Windex. Yes, regular glass cleaner with ammonia in it. She told me to put some on my arms and darned if it […]
I wrote in yesterday’s blog that after working a lot of hours this past week finishing the new issue of the Gypsy Journal, I planned to spoil myself and sleep in, and that’s just what I did! We got to bed about 3 a.m. and woke up about 10:30. I guess I needed it; I’m […]
It seems like nothing ever gets cheaper, even if our income stays the same. That’s why Millenicom customers hoped that the announcement of yesterday’s price increase was just a bad April Fool’s Day joke. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. Millenicom has been providing its customers real bargains on internet service; $69.99 a month for 20 gigabytes of […]
I keep hoping that now that I have stopped using the Fluorouracil cream on my face things will start to get back to normal. And it is, but very slowly. At this point I just look like I have a really, really bad sunburn. The pain has eased up a lot, but due to my […]
We originally planned to leave Santa Fe RV Park here in Apache Junction today and to go back to Tucson to get settled in for more stuff at the V.A. hospital next week. But we decided to extend for two more nights to give me time to get the next issue of the paper finished. […]
We have been spending most of our days for the last week at Barrows Neurological Institute in Phoenix with our friend Sharleen, who has undergone two surgeries in five days for a brain tumor. She has come through both and is doing well at this time. It is just amazing to me that someone can […]
Spend enough time behind the wheel of a big motorhome or dragging a fifth wheel trailer around the country and you’ll eventually pick up a lot of knowledge and ideas that will make your trips smoother and more enjoyable. Here are just a few of the lessons I’ve learned in fifteen years of fulltime RVing. […]
In our fifteen years on the road we have met thousands of working RVers, and I think the numbers are growing, based upon the e-mails I get from people who want to earn money as they travel. Many newbies to the mobile lifestyle immediately think of working in an RV park, commonly called workamping, when […]
Congratulations to the winners of this week’s drawing for the CD He Came – The Gospel of Christmas by the Boggs Family Ministries. The five lucky winners are Candace Rivero, Steven Malcolm, Joyce Space, Bob Jae, and Sally Daniels. Stay tuned, a brand new drawing starts Wednesday! If you are squeamish, I apologize in advance […]
Our routine has been pretty much the same the last few days; get up, check and answer e-mail, fill any new orders that came in overnight, drive about 35 miles across town to Barrows Neurological Institute and spend time with Jim and Sharleen, grab a bite to eat, come home, answer the e-mails that came […]
Well, Thanksgiving has expanded our waistlines and Black Friday has reduced our bank accounts. It’s the Christmas shopping season, so let the madness begin! Get out there and stimulate the economy, it’s a holiday tradition and your duty as an American consumer. Me, I’ll just stay at home listening to Christmas carols and let you […]
This wasn’t a typical Thanksgiving for us, sitting at a table loaded with food and surrounded by family and friends, but it was still a very good day. And I think Terry and I both ended the day feeling very grateful for all that we have in our lives. We spent most of the last […]
Yesterday was a whirlwind of last minute chores as we got ready to leave Santa Fe RV Park in Apache Junction and move down to Tucson today. And we still didn’t get everything done that we wanted to! As always, the day started with answering a lot of e-mails and deleting even more without looking […]
