After spending eight nights at our son’s house in Alabama, as well as a night going and a night coming home in hotels, it sure was good to sleep in our own bed Friday night! So good that I think we both went into a sleep coma as soon as our heads hit the pillows, […]

I spent part of yesterday setting up my new Lenovo ThinkPad laptop. I seem to go through a computer every three years or so, and I’ve set up many of them before with no problems, but this one decided to challenge me right from the start. I plugged it in into a power source and […]

Note: We were on the go all day yesterday grocery shopping and taking care of some things, so I didn’t have time to write a blog. So here is a re-post of a blog about our tour of the Winnebago factory in Forest City, Iowa from a few years ago. Yesterday was a horrible day […]

Yesterday was an easy traveling day for us, just four hours. We hardly had time to get our Cummins diesel engine warmed up! As I wrote in yesterday’s blog, I wasn’t sure where we were headed, either to the Lake Minden NACO campground a little north of Sacramento, or the Russian River NACO, near Cloverdale. […]

It’s been so windy here in Apache Junction that I’m afraid a farmhouse might land on my ex-wife’s mother! The wind started blowing Tuesday night, and it rocked our motorhome all night long, rattling the slide covers and keeping me awake most of the night. It slacked off a bit during the afternoon yesterday, then […]

I can say one thing for this cold weather that is blanketing most of the country – it’s sure promotes marital harmony. I don’t know how any couple could fight when it’s this cold, because we need to snuggle up together to keep from freezing to death at night! I predict that we’re going to […]

Yesterday was a horrible day for me, because I had to get up at 5 a.m. so we could be dressed, and have the motorhome ready to roll when the factory techs came to get it a 6 a.m. Anybody who knows me knows that I hate getting up early in the morning. I do […]

I spend a lot of hours every day working at my computer, and a lot of that time is spent online, either answering e-mails from our readers, updating my blogs and websites, or researching new places we want to visit to see what kinds of stories I can find there for the Gypsy Journal. But […]

We really enjoyed our time in Mount Airy, and we know it’s an area we’ll return to again. The people are friendly, the scenery is beautiful, and there is a lot to see and do. Mayberry Campground is one of the nicest places we have stayed, and if you are passing through the region, put […]
