Tucson Visit, 3rd Week of January 2018

One interesting place to visit.  We went to Tucson AZ and choose the San Xavier del Bac.  It is a 350 year old mission that still runs a school for 150 students from the reservation.

November 26, 2013 - Canton MS Again and Again

Image
On the way to do laundry, I decided to take a picture of the shower house/laundry room.  If you look closely, the laundry pair is in the screened area between the restrooms. Holmes County State Park Mississippi Site #2 for the Travelers Court House Square in Canton MS As we were trying to find a seal for my pressure cooker at the Presto Factory in Canton, we passed this Court House.  This town was getting ready to have a Victorian Christmas Celebration.  There was a merry-go-round for the young and the young-at-heart. Little Red School House (Mississippi) We took the exit to visit this school house.  It is the birth place of the Eastern Star.  It has housed soldiers, It is full of history. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.  Going to make pumpkin and pecan pies tomorrow.  Finished wrapping gifts today.  Now when we get to Vicksburg, we will find a UPS office and help Santa get a few packages on the way. ...

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. ...

February 16 -- North Florida Again

Image
On February 7, we headed northwest to Silver Springs/Ocala again.  We liked the park and felt comfortable there.  The weather in Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois is still poor.  We will stay here until we see some signs of warmer weather coming. The picture is of palm trees in a row and the car sitting there selling orchids.  (I never got one!)  This was on the northern out skirts of Homestead.  Homestead is where Uncle Ralph Wilkerson and his family came several winters to pick produce.  Aunt Dorothy has been explaining this to me and Jean Henning Bell remembers her mother talking about it too. Just to see some new scenery, we headed west across the Everglades.  It was a good road and was a Seminole reservaton.  Construction around the Tampa area. As we were turning east to go into Ocala, I spotted this sign stating that Ocala was the Horse Capital of the World.  Amazing! Gary found this flock of birds interesting. ...
