November 29, 2021 I follow the “Back Roads and Other Stories” blog. Margie and Tony travel in a van for trips and they always find something interesting to see along the way. I noticed on their blog that Margie and Tony were in Denver to help out their daughter. Since we are still in the […]

Dinner Rolls for Thanksgiving

I modified the “Dinner Rolls for Aunt Agatha” recipe from The Laurel’s Kitchen Bread Book for my dinner roll recipe. I made these in my RV and carried them to Jeannie’s (ajeanneinthekitchen.com) for Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving. She had five guest and counting Jeanne and Larry, seven people feasted on her amazing food. When we […]

Showing Off the RV

November 24, 2021 Since we’ve moved back to Dakota Ridge RV Park in Golden, CO, which is only four miles away from the office, many of my friends from work have wanted to stop by and see the RV. Most of my friends have stopped by at lunch, toured the RV, and then we have […]

Update on Low FODMAP Diet

November 19, 2021 I wanted to provide an update on Bruce’s experience with the low FODMAP diet. This is not a diet to lose weight, but to tame lower GI distress. Bruce has been on the low FODMAP diet since September of 2020. First, we limited the foods that Bruce ate to only low FODMAP […]

Just Ouch! How Can I Walk Into RV?

November 12, 2021 Yesterday, Bruce and I were getting ready to put the insulated ends onto our heated water hose. I put on my jacket and hat. My hat was getting blown off by the wind, so I was leaning down to keep the hat from blowing off. At the same time, I was adjusting […]

New Computer Desk for RV Arrived Today

November 8, 2021 This summer, as part of getting rid of things, Bruce sold the couch in the RV that pulled out into a bed. To us, it was not a comfortable couch, and it was a very lumpy bed when pulled out as a bed. Our plan was to put another desk in the […]
