Tropical Storm Cindy altered our plans. When we realized this morning that the storm path would intersect our route from Texas to North Carolina, we made a quick decision to leave as soon as possible. It's been a long day of hard driving. We've made just two quick...
It's tradition. Every time we visit Bedford we meet up with friends over a meal and a glass of wine and exchange stories about grandchildren and travels, opinions and political views. It's always a lively conversation. Tonight we chose Tony's Pizza on Harwood as our...
Twas a delightful Father's Day with Karen's Dad. Cedar Planked Salmon on the grill, Texas Rangers on the TV, various family members gathered around, and lots of old family photo scans up on the big screen TV to evoke memories, "remember when" stories, and laughter!
Today’s route took us along a lovely stretch of highway in western North Carolina, across the northwest corner of Georgia, and into Alabama. It feels strange to be traveling without the T@B-400 behind us but it makes sense in this June heat with a family visit in...
It was an amazing experience watching our granddaughters and their cohorts present an extravaganza of dance. On Friday we saw most of their dress rehearsals. On Saturday we got some chill out time with them and family members. Then on Sunday was the grand event. We...
If they have been serving food to the good people of Canton for more than a century, they just might be doing something right. We think so. Every time we visit Ferraro's we get a good meal and pleasant service. Today it was breakfast and a tasty one it was. If you're...
Yummy and fun! It's the thing to do on a Saturday in the northern part of Ohio's Stark County, midway between Akron and Canton. It's Hartville Market, a farmers market, flea market, meat market, gourmet market, antique shop, restaurant, and more. We started off with a...
Steve's cousin came to join the party for Deck Day and then lingered. Â We always enjoy his company! After cleanup was accomplished Brian wanted to tackle a couple of improvements around the house. Thanks to him our flood light now actually lights up the driveway, we...
It's amazing how much we depend on the copper wire that provides us a DSL connection to the internet and to Verizon cellular system. Mother Nature took it out late Saturday night with a lightning strike on our neighbors' property. Once we figured out why we didn't...
What an amazing gift!  Our friend Mike Cleary gifted us with an autographed copy of his latest book, Happy New You. But to make the gift much more special, we are mentioned in the chapter Knock, Knock about being unafraid of new opportunities!
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.
