Last weekend we celebrated my 38th birthday. 38?! Hard to believe, but grateful to be here! In line with our pared way of living, we prefer to celebrate with experiences rather than tangible gifts. We also enjoy special meals or takeout. For Ellie we do typically gift 4 items, following the philosophy of something to… Continue reading How We Birthday

Lake Camanche
It’s been several months since our stay at Lake Camanche, but I wanted to share a few pictures and thoughts about our experience. We scrambled during our 30-day maximum stay at Cal Expo RV Park to find our next stop. Between our fellow traveling line family and us we must have made close to 100… Continue reading Lake Camanche
“Real-ish” Winter in an RV
Neither George nor I intended to experience a “real-ish” winter in our RV but here we are. I write “real-ish” since despite all the snow, the typical lows are in the upper 30s and highs have been in the mid to upper 50s. Not too bad at all. In any event, I thought I’d share… Continue reading “Real-ish” Winter in an RV
Hello 2022…and Winter
It’s been an interesting week or so since we returned from Christmas vacation. We spent almost a week down in Lancaster, CA celebrating Christmas with George’s dad. We also enjoyed visiting with his aunt and uncle. On the day we were scheduled to head “home” to Pollock Pines, we learned the roads up the mountain… Continue reading Hello 2022…and Winter
Sacramento
Been trudging through internet struggles for the past several weeks in a beautiful, rural campground. I’ve managed to piece together a choppy post. Let’s rewind to our first stay in California – Cal Expo RV Park. This RV park was basically a parking lot, but it worked out just fine. The maximum stay is 30… Continue reading Sacramento
Road Trip Tips
In the past few months, Ellie and I have logged a lot of miles together. In July, we drove from Sarasota, FL to Lake George, NY. Just shy of two months later, we drove from Lake George, NY to Sacramento, CA. In both cases, George did his thing focusing on finding truck stops and we… Continue reading Road Trip Tips
Lake George
What a special summer we had in Lake George, NY. While the best part was being close enough to visit family in nearby Maine, we really did like the area. We stayed at beautiful Ledgeview RV Park. It is by far our favorite yet. It offers mountain views, large sites and beautiful facilities. The park… Continue reading Lake George
Hello from California
Once again, there’s a lot to catch up on. After about 3 weeks, we got our home (5th wheel) back from Lazy Days in Tampa, FL (this was in early June). I wish I could say it was a good experience, but there was a shocking lack of communication on their end and our home… Continue reading Hello from California
Bye Bye Venice
Hello again, again :). I’m typing from a beautiful rental house in Myakka City, Florida. It’s out in the country and has my dream wrap around porch as well as a sizable fenced-in back yard. There are even a few cows in a pasture right next to the house. Goats and roosters are within earshot,… Continue reading Bye Bye Venice
Hello Again
Greetings from the Sarasota area! Yes, we’re still here. We opted to stay put with the pandemic and have been bouncing around the local RV parks. Thankfully, there’s been plenty of work for George to remain in the same contract. After many months without true wifi at our home on wheels coupled with no longer… Continue reading Hello Again
