Some Old Time Rock and Roll!

Posted on January 14, 2019January 14, 2019 by Jim Mellema

Magnet Board

Posted on March 25, 2018March 25, 2018 by Jim Mellema

The Funniest Thing Happened in Tampa!

Posted on February 25, 2018March 29, 2019 by Jim Mellema

Ditching The Cold It was January in Tennessee and it was cold (yes, we are wimps now). So cold we might have been back in Chicago again! We decided we had to escape! Good thing our house has wheels! We’d been talking about going to The Keys, but that was so far and so full…

Full-Time RVer’s Again!

Posted on March 28, 2017 by Jim Mellema

When we left you, way back in August, we had bought a fixer-upper house on Douglas Lake, near the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee. Sorry we’ve been away so long, it’s been a very busy time. We cleaned and cleaned and painted and painted inside that old house. We ripped up nasty old carpeting to…

On My Honor…

Posted on December 10, 2015December 11, 2015 by Jim Mellema

Eleven years ago, My lil Brian announced “I wanna join Cub Scouts.” Our 2 older boys had both been in scouting, it’s a quality organization, we signed him right up. Brian liked Cub Scouts, and before long, he was announcing to anyone who would listen “When I get big, I am going to be an…

S-N-O-W: A four-letter word

Posted on November 27, 2015November 27, 2015 by Carol

We’re from Chicago. We’ve both lived there all of our lives – still not sure why!! Between the housing prices, taxes, politicians, and the HORRIBLE weather in winter, I seriously think we were nuts for staying there all these years.

How To Sell All Of Your Crap And Take Off In Your RV

Posted on November 20, 2015April 15, 2019 by Carol

When we decided to start this full-time RV-ing adventure, we had 3 properties (1 house, 2 commercial properties) and a TON of crap. At one point, six people lived in my 4000 square foot crap-holder house, including a pack-rat mother-in-law whose favorite hobbies included beading, puzzles and books. I swear her crap filled up half…
