Everything’s bigger in Texas! New Years Eve morning 2018 we rolled out of Cajun Palms, heading to “Cousin Ann’s house” in Montgomery, Texas. Montgomery is a suburb north of Houston, some 250 miles from Cajun Palms. After a nice drive including a couple hours on a rural 2 lane, we were in front of Ann’s…

Winter in Texas Day 3
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…
Winter in Texas Day 2
No longer a boring title, it’s now a “THEME”! This morning we woke up at 5:30 in Wills Creek RV Park in fort Payne, Alabama, and managed to get rolling by 10 am. That’s actually pretty good for us. No idea where the time goes. Does anyone else pick up a phone or a laptop…
Winter in Texas Day One
Wow, thatsa boring title. Accurate, but boring. East Tennessee isn’t Chicago when it comes to winters, but it’s still cool and cloudy and rains a lot. So we planned to take off after Christmas and head south. We have the month of January reserved at Gulf Waters RV Resort in Port Aransas, TX. This place…
I need to start blogging again… (and more often.)
As many of you know, a little over 2 years ago, we settled in East Tennessee and bought a house. Since then, we just haven’t done many blogposts (not that we blogged enough when we were travelling.) I’ve got lots of reasons (excuses) for that, including: I need to collect and organize my pictures. I…
When In Wisconsin We MUST Do A Supper Club
Ahhhhhhhhh, Wisconsin… Dairy farms, local beers, cheesehead hats, deer running in front of your car on the highway… And Supper Clubs! By definition a Supper Club is a dining establishment, typically found in the upper Midwestern states, and located in rural areas on the edge of town. The Supper Club became popular in the 1930’s…
Magnet Board
One of the things we enjoy doing on our travels is hunting for the perfect magnet to commemorate our time in each location. Years ago we chose magnets as souvenirs because they’re nice and small and they travel well. We always stuck them to the fridge in our old coach, but they don’t stick to…
The Funniest Thing Happened in Tampa!
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…
Two Great Days At Cedar Key in Florida
We left Tampa with our new (to us) RV on Sunday (will post the new RV soon) and headed for Cedar Key. I’m not even sure where Jim heard about Cedar Key or why he wanted us to go there, but I’m glad he found this cute little gem of a town! Eclectic doesn’t even…
A Very Personal Post
Hi guys! This post is going to be very personal. And maybe a little heartbreaking. Grab a cup of coffee and read… Tomorrow is February 1. February is Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Month. I guess it goes along with it being Valentine’s Day in February as well (hearts and all). Now honestly, Congenital Heart Defect…
