....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 …
Westward Ho!
Just 2 more days left here on Carolina Beach before I bring in the slides, unhook the water and sewer hoses, unplug the electric and 'wheels-up.' It's been a great month - especially spending quality time with some great friends. And let me say right here and now a great, big THANK YOU to Laura, …
Easter on the Beach
The weather cooperated and Easter weekend was fabulous!Saturday friends Janet & Bob invited me over for a pre-Easter dinner and to meet all their wonderful and crazy neighbors and friends. Janet is one of those people who loves to decorate 'on a theme' and what better than bunnies? The chair covers were a hoot - …

You’ve heard that song….
"I've been everywhere" - well, that's what I feel like after 3 days on the road. I've been to AZ, TX, LA, MS, AL and now FL. Weird to drive through 3 states in one day, but that's what I did today.But I will back up. Finally got out of Kerrivlle, TX on Sunday morning. …
Good Saturday Morning – from TX!
Yes, still in Kerrville, TX where the weather has been just awful. Now that's coming from someone who would really like to be on-the-road heading East. The locals are so happy for the rain (over 5" since I arrived) that they can hardly stand it. This part of Texas has been hard hit by drought …
Under the Big Texas Sky!
I drove 341 miles today which included going through my first 'big city' - El Paso. I gripped the wheel so tight I thought it might break, I ground my teeth and wanted to just pull over and throw up! But I didn't and I finally started breathing again once I was out in the …
