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…

Asheville!!
Hi all! Hows everyone doin tonight? We’re in Asheville, North Carolina. Believe it or not, we went here for the dog park! Our poor pack has been leashed for like 6 weeks, they were itchin to get loose, and we haven’t found a good fenced dog park in East Tennessee. (Now that I say…
Back to the Smokies
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
Nature – to most of us full-time RV travelers, it is the main reason we chose this lifestyle. We sold it all, left the rat race behind, and now spend our days hiking through forests, climbing mountains, and (finally) having a chance to smell the flowers along the way. We chose to make nature our…
One Hot Night With Greg Brady
Here’s the story Of a man named Brady… Sorry, I had to do it LOL. We are in Branson, Missouri this week – home of many small theater shows. When we first arrived in Branson, we got the show schedule and looked through it. I immediately knew that the 70’s Music Celebration starring Barry…
Hello New Friend. Goodbye.
We love to meet new people. Just yesterday I had a most interesting hour-long chat with some guy in the laundry room all about buying and selling stocks – something that Jim and I have talked about learning how to do for quite some time. This guy (I didn’t even catch his name) had some…
It’s All About Making Memories
In the words of motivational speaker and author Brendan Burchard, we should end each day asking ourselves these three questions: Did I live fully today? Did I love today? Did I matter today? In other words, did I live my life robustly and fully today, being present in each moment? Did I love to the…
Stop The Glorification of “Stuff”
About two years ago we made the decision to sell all of our “stuff” and pursue the full-time RV lifestyle. When my husband first brought up this possibility, it sounded ludicrous to me. After all, here I was living in a giant house, with a pool and everything I needed to live the luxury lifestyle….
Power from the Sun!
We (RVers) all dream of unlimited power. Power to boondock anywhere, to live far from the nearest extension cord. Our motorhome came with 4 golf cart batteries and a 2000 watt inverter that can run nearly everything, for a while. To charge those batteries, we can use our generator, but wouldn’t it be nice not…
Fireplace Wiring Repair
A lot of people are scared to death of electricity. Glad I’m not one. Our motorhome has a dozen 115v AC breakers in the main power center, 40 or 50 12 volt fuses in 2 different fuse panels, plus various other relays, switches, controls, etc. And maybe 2000 feet of wire. And all this stuff…
