Update on Low FODMAP Diet

Cold Weather Has Arrived

November 18, 2021 We’ve had a very warm fall this year in the Denver metro area of Colorado. We would have a few days here and there that would dip down below just freezing at night, but mostly the days were sunny and comfortable, in the 70s and 60s F, with lows in the 50s […]

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 […]

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 […]

A Tale About Nox’s Tail

Moving Day, Back to Dakota Ridge RV Park

October 29, 2021 On Wednesday, we packed up the RV and moved it from Denver Meadows RV Park to Dakota Ridge RV Resort Park. With the cold weather, we don’t expect the loud live bands from across the street at Dakota Ridge RV Park to be a problem. We were also delighted to find that […]

RV Neighbors Find Raccoons in Basement

October 27, 2021 On Sunday, we were outside moving items around in our storage in the RV’s basement to be better organized. One of our neighbors walked by with a spray bottle, spraying the road. Bruce jokingly called out, “Are you disinfecting the road?” The neighbor and his wife stopped to talk to us. They […]
