Because it’s Friday, and I think we all could use a good laugh at the end of the week, I now present to you for your enjoyment, 18 faces that every RV-er will recognize. Enjoy! I hope you have as much fun laughing at these as I had putting them together! TeeHee! Hope you…
Boo! Scared ya, didn’t I? With Halloween just behind us, what a great time of year to have camped at Eden Springs Campground in Benton Harbor, Michigan. This campground was weird, and spooky, and weird. But fun! And interesting! Eden Springs Park was a popular zoo and amusement park, founded by The House…
So the last month has been pretty boring as we have been stuck back in Illinois. The good news is that Brian’s Eagle Scout project is turned in to his troop. And now we just have to wait for the Council to contact us for the final meeting. This could take several weeks, so as…
When Jim said, “Let’s go to South Dakota!” when we were trying to figure out which direction to go first after our launch, I was all like, “Meh. South Dakota? Not much in South Dakota, except the Badlands, which are only mildly interesting.” Boy, was I wrong! We spent several days around Deadwood and the…
I had no idea that there were Sunflower fields in South Dakota! When Jim and I were discussing which direction to go when we left Illinois a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to go to Colorado to photograph the Sunflower fields, but Jim wanted to go to South Dakota and see The Badlands. So…
We finally broke free of Illinois for a couple of weeks!! Woot!!! So we started heading west and stopped for a couple of nights in Amana, Iowa so we could see the Amana Colonies. The Amana people began in the early 1700’s in Germany by two men, Eberhard L. Gruber and Johann F. Rock, who…
Day seven of our full time journey… It’s getting more real, slowly. We’ve been full time Rvers for a week now, but still cleaning up “former life details” in the Chicago area. Yesterday was a big day. We finally closed and sold the house (Yay!) And I sold my jeep. Not sure how I feel…
Well, we’re not having a very sexy beginning here. We are camping on the hot (its 92 degrees right now!) black asphalt parking lot at Jim’s work. We did not close on the house as expected on Friday. Something about some child support paperwork that the buyer still needs to get to his bank. In…
Seven more days. One week. At this time next Friday we will be full-timers. There’s still so much to do! And yesterday we got word that the buyer’s bank is insisting he have the radon mitigated, even though it only tested at a 4.4. I always thought it didn’t require mitigation if it is under…
We’re counting down! 9 more days! So far we have: *Held 2 garage sales *Sold multiple items via Craigslist *Taken 2 carloads to Goodwill (stuff that didn’t sell in the garage sale) *Dumped multiple loads into the dumpster at Jim’s office. And all this is AFTER we just sold the big house in December and…
