Posted on December 31, 2018 by Jim Mellema

Now this is what I’m talkin about! Woke up this morning (way to early again) to a 73 degree outside temp and a nice ocean breeze coming in the tiny windows next to our bed. After waiting out a brief rain shower, we took the dogs for a walk right about dawn. Fantastic. After day…

Back to the Smokies

Posted on June 22, 2016 by Jim Mellema

Somehow, this place keeps calling to us. We enjoyed the West, the awesome scenery, the endless desert views, all that. A great place to spend the winter. But come spring, the Smoky Mountains is where it’s at for us. We’ve been here for about 5 weeks now. We spent a month at the KOA in…

Why Little Johnny Needs A Walk In The Woods

Posted on May 16, 2016May 16, 2016 by Carol

Happiness Is…
