Remember the boy next door? The cute kid that used to pick on you? Tease you? Wouldn't give you the time of day? I even remember crawling out my bedroom window to play ball with him and the other kids in the middle of the street after we were all suppose to be asleep. I'm …
Catching Up
I'm trying to do a little 'housekeeping' before my next 'real' post. First, you might have noticed that my route map has changed. Because I have SO many stops, the online maps will not lets me create a map with all of them. So I thought I would start with where I am as of …
Look! Up in the sky….
It's a bird! It's a plane! No...It's Superman!!!When you are going to Metropolis, IL you automatically think 'hometown of young Clark Kent' and the town fathers have planted this huge statue right in the middle of the downtown square so that you never forget. Poor Lois Lane has her own much littler and much less …
Off the Grid
Since I left Burnsville, NC I have not had access to WiFi. How weird when you live your life with a computer attached at the hip to not be able to 'connect' to the outside world. I have my smartphone so have been able to receive and send short email responses, but writing here has …
WHEELS-UP!
I packed the back, filled up the tank (at Costco - $3.50 gal) and have headed out on my grand summer adventure! First stop - Charlotte and a very short visit with oldest and dearest friends, Sandy & Rich. Normally spend time with them and their entire family the week they are at the beach, …

All across the country the temperatures are soaring into the 100's. The humidity is almost as high as the temperature and people are in general miserable. Here on the beach it's too hot to even sit on the beach...the sand will burn your feet. It's not even refreshing to get in the ocean as water …
Life is so funny, don’t you think?
If we weren't able to laugh at ourselves and the things in life that otherwise would make us scream and pull our hair out, we would all go crazy!Why I'm laughing is that in the past week I have gotten emails from two big RV companies who 'found' my blog, loved it and wanted me …
The Vagarities of Life…..
What would we do without them? But sometimes life would be so much simpler and run so much soother without them popping up and into our lives! I thought my summer road trip was all set. I had laid out my daily travel schedule, lined-up over 50 fabric shop stops along my route, and was …
Charles Kuaralt was quoted …..
...saying that “thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything.” How true that statement is, and it's the main reason I have chosen to travel as much of my 10K mile trip off the Interstates as possible, driving only the small …
