Meet Little Willie, so named by previous owner's Eric & Eileen of St. Paul, MN. This wonderful young couple are the long-time, best friends of my youngest son, and Eric is the best car mechanic ever! So when they asked if I would please stop by on my way West, it was so very easy …
Hello from "Up North"
I've just enjoyed 2 wonderful days in Minong, WI - population 352 - gas $2.15 a gallon! Good friends Don & Carrie have their summer cabin here on lovely Pokegama Lake. They leave their winter home in Ft. Myers to come back up North in the early Spring to late Fall. I just seem to …
Good Morning from Carlock , IL
And what a wet, gloomy, LOUD, morning it is. But I get to that later.After leaving Mt. Airy, NC, I spent the next night at the Bean Pot Campground in Crossville, TN. What a lovely campground. The folks were wonderful and helpful and the park lovely, with RV sites nestled amongst freshly-budding dogwood trees. But …
Back on the road….
....but it was terribly stressful just getting here. I took Winnie to get her North Carolina 'omissions inspection' on Tuesday, a requirement of all NC vehicles to be registered and plated. It was the first time I had started the engine and drove her since parking on the beach a whole month before. My good …

Nothin’ Could be Finer than to be in Carolina!
Home - on the beach and settled for an entire 5 weeks - yeah! The trip from Jacksonville, FL to Lumberton, NC was easy - the sun was shinning and the temps were warm. I was up early on Wednesday morning to make the quick, 2-hour trip to the beach and get settled in at …

What Sun?!!!
I woke up this morning to rain, clouds and wind. It was time to head out and all I wanted to do was to crawl back under the covers and go back to sleep. Carrie and Don wandered over to say good-bye and Don repaired my broken door handle and made sure I had assembled …
Basking in the Florida Sun!
For the past 5 days I have enjoyed the bright, warm sunshine of Central Florida - Ft. Myers to be exact. Because of the weather delay in Texas, my trip to The Keys was canceled and I drove to Ft. Myers to spend a wonderful time with my good friends Carrie & Don. They have …
