We spent a quite enjoyable evening with friends. Deb and Pete plied us with delicious food and drink. Then we got to tour both their back and front yards with all the landscaping they have added since our last visit. Anne grew glorious sunflowers this summer and there...
Gary's definitely on the mend. We've been trying to get him out of the Rehab Center for reasons other than just for physician's appointments. Today we went to the house and we worked on sorting through the books in his library. Unless he wanted to set up parallel...
We arrived at Pasco Regional Medical Center today to the news that the surgeon had approved Mother's discharge if the pulmonologist agreed. So we waited for the him. And waited for him. And waited for him. The room was almost too small for the four of us when she was...
We signed Gary out of Oak Manor to go to Mike and Cathy's Fourth of July Cookout. Burgers on the grill and trimmings. And beer! We toasted to an afternoon of independence for Gary. He gloried in adult conversation and the view of things beyond the four walls of his...
We are former pool owners. We know the feeling. Taking care of a pool is a costly and time consuming proposition and often you say, "I just want to fill it in and make a planter out of it." There needs to be a good joy/aggravation ratio to make it worth having a pool....
In our travels around Largo today we had the privilege of being the first car in line as a CSX train traveled past. As Karen scurried to get a good photo Steve exchanged waves with the engineer. It evoked memories of the time Steve was Engineer for a Day and drove one...
Gary hasn't been home for more than a month and his kitty Giuseppe has missed him terribly. The cat has had to put up with us who he sees as the" he monster" and "she monster". Today Gary had an appointment and also needed to go to his house to scan and email some...
It's been exactly a month since Gary's surgery and nearly four weeks since we arrived in Largo to be of assistance in his recovery. He's progressed to where he can walk independently with a cane according to the PT staff. Don't tell that when they aren't looking he...
Deck Day is never complete until the 3D puzzle is complete. Once long ago the puzzlers were determined to finish the 6 ft tall Big Ben puzzle and persisted until it was finished at 2AM. Somewhere there is a photo of the persistent puzzlers, the completed tower, and...
We've been in Pinellas a little more than a week now. We're visiting Gary usually twice a day, running errands for him, and working on a project for him at his house. We're immersed in helping him out. But we are taking time out both last Saturday night and tonight to...
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.

In 1997 East Grand Forks, Minnesota, and its big sister city, Grand Forks, North Dakota were devastated by a major flood of the Red River of the North. Nearly every home was damaged and whole neighborhoods were wiped out. One local told us that everyone in the area...
Besides short travel days and longer stays, this trip is also remarkable in that we don’t have a destination. It’s about exploration especially of the small towns scattered across the country. And we’re finding a lot of city park campgrounds often located within easy...
When we first arrived at Arnold’s Campground RV Park in International Falls, Minnesota, we learned Amanda had arrived just minutes before us. Set up was minimal, just plug into shore power and put down stabilizers before setting up our chairs in the shade. Right away...
