Ahhhhhhh, Autumn. Leaves crunching beneath my feet, and a crisp nip in the air. Campfires and marshmallows and beautiful color. Its been a dream of mine for many years to see Autumn in The Smoky Mountains, and this year my dream came true!! To say it completely took my breath away would be an understatement….
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…
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…
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…
Today is totally gonna be a “feelings” post. The house is sold – the closing is set for July 24, at which point we will be “homeless”. Its scary. Every day I waffle between being excited and being scared to death. Jim is busy clearing out the house – maybe a little too fast! I…
I’m not gonna lie – EVERY person I have served these ribs to has asked for this recipe. For the longest time I wouldn’t give anyone the recipe – it was my little secret. People would ask, and I would tell them, “I’d tell ya, but then I’d have to kill ya.” and laugh…
Jim’s turn, and I like to do the techie stuff. At 6 years old, our front entry steps are looking kinda beat. After dragging them thru a ditch outside of Silverton, Colorado a few years ago, followed by a roadside repair, they don’t work as smoothly as they once did either. Here’s what we are starting with:…
