Well, today didn't go quite the way we'd planned it but due to Steve's diligence we did make some progress. We have been wanting to add more stepping stones around the hot tub. We made a trip to Bryson's, got four stones, put them amid the existing stones and decided...
Today's the first of three business days we have at home before we head to Zephyrhills. It's time to spruce up the road weary. We took Eric the Red to Rick's Car Wash for the full treatment. Then we took ourselves to Jill's Barber Shop for much needed haircuts. While...
This morning we had peach pie for breakfast. It was supposed to be our dessert Friday night at Dutch Valley in Sugarcreek but we'd had no room for it after the Amish buffet. Then this afternoon after church we treated ourselves to steak and eggs at The Mad Batter in...
We so wanted to visit Greg and Rachel in Boston. Our plan had been to camp south of the metro area and drive into Dorchester for a visit but plans changed and we left the T@B in Enfield and stayed as houseguests at Greg & Rachel's. It was a most salubrious visit....
Many years ago we became friends with Ben and Lynda. As the years progressed or daughters became very best friends. Then their daughter and our son met independently of us and proceeded on a long and sometimes rocky road that led to their marriage two years ago. Now...
We arrived in Enfield early this evening in time to get the T@B parked in Ben and Lynda's driveway and do a bit of visited before sitting down to a wonderful family dinner of succulent pork chops, beautifully roasted onions and peppers, delicious rice, tender...
After a great day hanging around the campground hobnobbing with other teardrop campers here ahead of the gathering that begins tomorrow we climbed into th truck for a trip to Canton for a dinner visit with Peyton And Riley, Dave and Amy. We arrived half an hour before...
As the family story goes Steve's cousin Hilda lived in an orphanage for a few years after her parents' death then lived "with relatives in Lima, Ohio" before marrying in Toledo where she and Ed spent the rest of their lives. We're curious as to who these relatives...
Visited today with Karen's aunt and uncle/godfather. We lunched with them and swapped family stories. He has done an amazing amount of genealogical research that we are now incorporating into the family history site. Then we had dinner with them and several cousins....
It's time for lunch and Castro Street is so close! What choice could we make but to walk a mile and choose from a wonderful selection of restaurants? We chose the Irish pub and opted for the outdoor seating. From there we could see and hear some of the coverage of the...

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.

Today's adventure has been another day of driving The Great River Road starting from the hamlet of Palisade along back roads. It felt a bit like a trip through time when the route took us on dirt roads through farmland with old and weathered farm buildings. Along with...
Yesterday was our first day of actually driving the Great River Road. We joined the Mississippi on the east side of Lake Bemidji and meandered along the river all the way to Palisade. It truly is an area that invites you to travel over the river and through the woods....
Today we begin our exploration of the Mississippi River along The Great River Road. Actually we've been fascinated by the great river from Lake Itasca, the Mississippi Headwaters in northern Minnesota to Destrehan Plantation near New Orleans, we've visited quite a few...
