As the old saying goes, if you don’t like the weather, wait half an hour and it will change. That’s seems to be true here in Florida. We had freezing cold temperatures on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and snow was falling in southern Brevard County, south of us. Yet the weatherman says it’s supposed […]

Really? That’s Why?

I’ll admit I’m just an average guy, maybe even a little below average in most respects, and I guess I don’t see the “big picture.” But I’m always amazed at the things people find to worry about. I received two emails from people yesterday saying they were canceling their summer travel plans because of Great […]

Over the years a lot of people who know about my phobia of high bridges have told me about the Sunshine Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay, and I was definitely not looking forward to crossing it yesterday for our trip to the Bay Pines VA Hospital. But as it turns out, it reminded me of […]

Terry says today is just another day. Not to me it isn’t. Today is her birthday, and after all these years, I still don’t understand why this beautiful, talented woman is with a flawed troll like me. But I’m grateful she is, every minute of my life. Happy birthday, baby. I love you with all […]

It cooled down a bit yesterday, from bloody miserable to just very hot. It was 86o, which was almost twenty degrees lower than what we’ve been experiencing for over a week here at Elkhart Campground. The rest of the week is supposed to be in the mid-80s, which everybody has been looking forward to. Yeah, […]

Yesterday we did another one of those long days on the road that I always tell everybody else not to do. I never take my own advice. We were up at 7 a.m. (I really need to break that nasty habit), and on the road by 8. We started our day in northern Wisconsin, and […]

When they stopped working for the day on Tuesday, Chris, the tech assigned to our motorhome, told us that he had a couple of hours left on it, but he hoped to have us out by about 9 a.m. the next morning. So once again we rolled out of bed yesterday morning before the chickens, […]

We have been sitting still way too long, and Terry and I are both itching to get back on the road and see some new places and new faces. Yesterday I finished putting the new issue of the Gypsy Journal together, and once I got the hang of InDesign, our new page layout software, it […]
