We invited daughter Tiffany and her husband Kenny, along with granddaughter Hailey, her husband Toby, and great-grandbaby Tyler, over for dinner yesterday. It was going to be a simple affair of hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill, along with baked beans and homemade potato salad, but Terry still had to run to the grocery […]
If you thought Bakersfield, California was just a place to drive through on your way to the coast or someplace else, maybe good for a fuel stop or even an overnight stay before moving on, you don’t know about the excellent Kern County Museum. It’s a fascinating place that could easily take you a full […]
Since we moved here in January we have found a couple of good Mexican restaurants, two good Chinese places, two seafood places we enjoy, and on Thursday we found a good Chinese buffet not too far away in Columbus, Mississippi.

We have found many interesting stories while exploring old cemeteries in our travels around the country. So many, in fact, that I created a seminar that I presented at RV rallies called Cemetery Stories. Some of them have been heart-wrenching, some were actually funny, and some were downright bizarre. This is one such story of […]
Mention Cape Cod to anybody who has never been there, and the image that comes to mind is probably one of scenic back roads leading to miles of pristine beaches, with the occasional picturesque small village along the way.
