Yesterday, Miss Terry and I got to do two things we always enjoy; we got to meet long time readers Carl and Sandy Greenbaum, and we got to tour a really cool place with a lot of history to it. Carl and Sandy are fulltime RVers who are volunteering at Barberville Pioneer Settlement, which is […]
Except for going up to the hot tub and soaking for a little bit most evenings, we have not been doing much. I have spent a lot of time just sitting on the couch reading, occasionally logging onto the Internet to check email or things on Facebook, and watching television. I really haven’t had much […]
We’ve known many fulltime RVers who work or run small businesses on the road, others who workamp at RV parks, and plenty who keep busy exploring new territory, visiting with friends, following their hobbies, or just relaxing under the awning with a cold drink. We also know many fulltimers and snowbirds who don’t need the […]
I know, that title’s probably not proper English, and if I gave it some thought I could have done better. But what can I say? I’m a rebel. Now, back to the wind. Where the heck did it go? How can I fly my kites without any wind? Wasn’t that the purpose of spending our […]
Except for the first couple of days we were here in Florence, most of the time it has been cold, with a lot of clouds and fog. Since we were spending so much time here at home getting the most recent issue of the Gypsy Journal in the mail, and then dealing with the leaks […]
Ever since we arrived at the South Jetty Thousand Trails preserve we’ve been pretty much stuck at home dealing with a series of leaks in our fresh water system and other issues with our motorhome. But those all seem to finally be resolved and we needed a day away, so yesterday we drove about 45 miles south […]
Who are these modern day gypsies who spend their lives on the road? What prompted them to leave their former homes and communities for a life on wheels? Each week we will introduce you to some of the fulltime RVers we meet in our travels and those who read this blog. Can you think of […]
Who are these modern day gypsies who spend their lives on the road? What prompted them to leave their former homes and communities for a life on wheels? In a new feature we will introduce you to some of the fulltime RVers we meet in our travels and those who read this blog. Doug and […]
Or even waddle. It was 92 here in Colonial Beach yesterday with sky-high humidity. In other words, it was a good day to stay home and give our Winnebago’s air conditioner a good workout. Hopefully it will start cooling down so we can enjoy getting out and exploring the area. Being at home meant that […]
Our most recent promotion, our Holiday Subscription Special, has been so successful that Miss Terry was busy all day Saturday just logging all the orders in, when she would have much preferred to be test driving her new loom. But yesterday she just couldn’t wait any longer and had to get to work on it. […]
Yesterday started off with a telephone interview with a young lady who was assigned to do a profile on us for Woodall’s Campground Management. We talked about how we became fulltimers and came up with the idea of publishing the Gypsy Journal, our traveling style, my book publishing activities, and what we look for in […]
I spent the last few days working on a new book project and finished it Monday night so I needed to get away from my desk for a while. Yesterday was a day for tea and tree. Celestial Tea and Leanin’ Tree, that is. Celestial Seasonings is located a short distance away in Boulder, so […]
A reader who is considering fulltiming wrote yesterday to ask me if the RV lifestyle is more or less expensive than living in a traditional house. I was reminded of an interview I did for MSNBC several years ago, when they asked me how much it cost to fulltime. I said that it costs as […]
Well, the big night we’ve all waited for is almost here! Santa’s elves are loading his sleigh right now up at the North Pole and he’ll be hitching up his reindeer any time now. Have you been naughty or nice? Last year on this day, Miss Terry made up a fresh batch of her delicious […]
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 […]
Baby, it’s cold outside! Yesterday started with more wind and rain, and it never got over about 50 degrees. The rain and wind stopped sometime in the morning, but the cold never let up all day long. And the overnight low was just 33 degrees! I’m ready to head south right now! Terry and I […]
Yesterday was a day full of “wows.” We drove about 65 miles up the coast to Cape Blanco Lighthouse, and every curve in the road gave us a new and even more beautiful view that made us both say “Wow!” There’s not a mile of the Oregon coast that isn’t beautiful, with the ocean surf […]
I ate so much yesterday that I may not go near a refrigerator for at least a week! Well, okay, but at least not for another hour or two! Miss Terry was up early, making cookies and carrot cake to take to her sister Lisa’s house for a family dinner to celebrate her parents’ birthdays. […]
When we’re not busy traveling in our RV or writing about the RV lifestyle, I enjoy surfing the web and reading the many blogs and websites about RVing that are out there. Even after eleven years on the road, I manage to learn something new every day from what other RVers are writing about. Today […]
