Looking Back on the Past Year of Full-time RVing

February 17, 2023 We started traveling full-time just a little over a year ago, on January 30, 2022. We packed up and hitched up our 5th wheel toy hauler and just made it out of the campground at the checkout time of 11:00 am, just ahead of an Arctic Vortex blowing south. We burned diesel […]

Doctor’s Appointment in Effingham, IL

August 4, 2022 Those of you who have been following my blog know I hurt my left ankle and then hurt it again by trying to toe off a shoe. I was lucky enough to get a doctor’s appointment in Effingham, IL on for Tuesday. I am hoping the doctor will be able to do […]

Party Animal

June 5, 2022 I realized I didn’t post a lot while we were in Golden, Colorado. I had plans with friends and family most days while we were in Golden. It was wonderful to catch up with friends and my daughter. I meet people for lunch and dinner. Some of my friends even cooked dinner […]

Fireflies and Stargazing

May 4, 2022 Last week, I thought it would be fun to walk down to the pier and stargaze. From the end of the pier, the view over Lake Guntersville provides a wide open space to see the sky. As we walked down to the water, we saw fireflies flashing alongside the road and then […]

Septic System Sorta Recovered

March 25, 2022 We had several sunny days and the septic system at the KOA seems to have recovered. Thankfully, we no longer have the stench from The Bog of Eternal Stench. Yesterday, we had rain most of the day. The lake came back partway through the day. The park once again set up a […]

We are using the Escapees park in Florida as our physical address and we are using the Escapees mail […]

And I Am Now Florida Woman!

March 2, 2022 It turns out Florida will let you use your passport, even if it has expired, to get your driver’s license. It can’t be expired more than five years. Luckily, my passport had expired in 2020, so I could use it to prove who I am. So, I didn’t need to bring my […]

Florida Titles and Registrations Completed

March 1, 2022 Today, we rode to the library and printed out our Florida insurance cards so we could finish our title work and registration. While we were there, Bruce got his library card. Afterwards, we rode to the tax collector’s office and got the motorcycle VIN verified. Since we had the truck’s VIN verified […]

Wet Travel Day

February 6, 2022 When we left the Delhi RV Park, it was pouring cold rain. The temperature was just above freezing as we broke camp. My jeans were soaked through, Bruce’s jeans were soaked through, and Nox’s fur was soaked through. Nox had to go for a walk and she did not enjoy the almost […]

We Have Cold Water!

January 7, 2022 When I was getting ready for bed, the RV didn’t have cold running water. A few minutes later, Bruce started getting ready for bed and he tried the cold water. It started out as a trickle, then it ran normally. His delighted shout could be heard throughout the RV. He checked the […]
