When I became critically ill, while we were in the Rio Grande Valley, we had a decision to make. We were full time RVers. There was no way that I could do the tasks necessary to just manage the day to day routine of living and traveling in a fifth wheel. What were we to … Continue reading The Next Chapter

ALONG THE WAY – THE GREAT MISSISSIPPI TEA COMPANY
As we travel the roads of this nation, we discover things and places we just weren’t expecting. The Great American Tea Company was one of those places. While panning our route from Biloxi, Mississippi to Homer, Louisiana I discovered a Harvest Host location which was a real surprise. I just wasn’t expecting a tea plantation … Continue reading ALONG THE WAY – THE GREAT MISSISSIPPI TEA COMPANY
THE GREAT LAKES STATE
After leaving the Dakotas we traveled back to Michigan for the first time since we began full timing ten months earlier.

Upon arriving we did … Continue reading THE GREAT LAKES STATE
SOUTH DAKOTA
We chose South Dakota as our place of residency for purely practical reasons. It is only a little over four hours away from our youngest daughter. So, if we need to take care of any business we can do so while visiting her family without a major trek. Secondly it is affordable, no income tax … Continue reading SOUTH DAKOTA

THE GULF COAST’S TREASURE
There is much to enjoy here on the north coast of the Gulf of Mexico. This is beautiful country. I had been to this area as a child and later as a teenager but was not attentive enough to realize just how stunning it is down here. This is farm country.

AN UNFORESEEN BENEFIT
We made the decision to become full-time RVers in late 2015. We knew a little about RVing, but just a little. We had camped for years in popup campers. We had rented a class C in the late 90’s for an eleven-day trip. And we had spent a number of vacations with my parents who … Continue reading AN UNFORESEEN BENEFIT
AN APOLOGY
Don't let her beauty fool you! When we lived in the Groveland Mansion in Roseville, Michigan. One of my neighbors whose back yard connected with ours had a giant Cottonwood Tree in his back yard.
