November 11, 2011 -- Happy Veteran's Day

First order of Business:  Thank you to all the ladies and gentlemen who have served our country in one branch or the other.  I appreciate my freedom and don't appreciate the fact that the laws are protecting the views of the minority and taking our freedom from us.  Each person has a right to their belief.  If you don't then leave me alone and others that want to say a prayer, want In God We Trust on our currency, and we want the constitution restored and all the petty laws that have been added gone.

Now, for a wonderful day.  We left Eagar AZ early this morning.  I never dreams that Arizona would have the kind of scenery that we enjoyed today.

I was totally taken by surprise when Gary asked me to put the address into Bertha the GPA.  He was taking me to Carefree Manor RV Park.  I figured he was tired of taking care of me; but seriously this sounds like a nursing home!

 Sure didn't realize that we had this much action on the mountain roads.  I thought I had finally figured out how to tie everything down so that we could just pull into a site and settle in......I was totally amazed that the desk had turned over and every single paper, pen, pencil, envelope, etc. was all over the floor.  Ugh.  Then I went up into the bedroom area and the green box that we keep the kids games and cards and crayons had fallen too and that needed to be cleaned too.  Welcome to Arizona!

Days 93 and 94; July 29 & 30 -- Canada to USA

Whee.....what a long three days.....we put a lot of miles on the vehicles and our bodies.  When I last blogged we were at Dave's RV Park in Vanderhoof, BC.  Gary said that this was one of the best kept campgrounds that we had visited.  The bathrooms were spotless and the grounds and flowers matched.  We aimed to go around 200 miles and stop.....somehow that didn't fall into place.  We stopped for lunch at a rest area.  I took this pictures overlooking the valley below from the camper door.  You can see the screen door marks on the picture.  All along this road, we passed original log houses and out buildings.  It made you feel like you were travelling on the very path that the pioneers had taken.  We finally found a campground in the canyon.  Gary got out to take his movie pictures and asked me where we were and what was the name of the campground.  Neither of us knew.  We did have a good dinner.  He grilled t-bone steaks, we had grilled potatoes, salad, and fried bread.  Yu

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a little high $3.82 to $4.07. Today we drove around O

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go for a drive, I wanted to
