This is an update to the previous update Connie wrote. Would you believe that wasn't the end of being attacked by squirrels? We ended up "eliminating" 3 squirrels and a chipmunk INSIDE of the motor home. They had chewed through the heater ducting again AND through more furnace wiring! I had just repaired the damage and was putting it all back together again, when I heard a %$#@! squirrel in the he...
I just realized we didn't update you with the rodent attack. We found out it was a squirrel that had done all the damage to the heater. We had seen and heard this squirrel around the motor home, jumping from the tree onto the roof running across, jumping onto the awning into another tree, dropping his pine cones from the trees and hitting the motor home, you know, being a real pain. We suspected t...
I forgot to tell you about our last weekend. We took a drive south, again, to Lone Pine. We had recommendations to check out the Film Museum, of which we did. $5 per person donation and it was a very nice little museum. Not real big but sure had a lot of stuff in it. Oh so many movies and shows have been filmed in the Alabama Hills over the last 90 years. Hop-along Cassidy, The Lone Ranger, Gunga ...
Happy Anniversary to us! 10 years ago today we pulled away from our sticks & brick home to start our new life on the road. Still so much to see and experience. We have met so many people and made so many new friends since we have been traveling. Looking forward to seeing what the next 10 years has in store for us. If anyone is interested in our story, read our "How it all started" and "Countdo...
We have a heavy heart today. We lost our precious Grandma Cappie. She would have been 100 years old the end of October. I have so many loving memories being with her; standing on a stool and stirring and spooning out the cookie dough, playing on the piano, ironing the handkerchiefs and pillow cases, homemade ice cream (she LOVED ice cream!) Easter egg coloring parties.... No set date for the Celeb...
I wish my brain was functioning a little quicker this morning during my walk. My walking trail takes me through an underpass so I don't have to cross the busy road. The sun hadn't risen yet but it was plenty light enough outside, more so than I was normally starting out in the mornings. As I approached the tunnel I saw a shadowy movement. I stopped, it stopped. I realized that it was a bear. I bac...
Happy Labor Day and thank you to all the hard working people who help make our lives a little easier. We haven't heard any negative reports from our area managers so I think all in all the busy, last hurrah of the summer, went off without a hitch and today was mass exodus for our campers. It was a beautiful day, it's our day off, let's go! We spent yesterday doing chores. As you know, Larry fixed ...
The other day, our rear gas furnace stopped working after a few minutes. The next time we used it, I realized it wasn't putting out any heat. During our days off, I thought I'd better take a look at it, before it gets real cold here. (BTW - the heater is a Suburban F35) Taking this heater out of the motor home involves removing a side body panel to access the heater. Then I need to remove the 5 he...
I had an affair this weekend with my husband We took off on an impromptu getaway to Big Bear, CA. Visited with our friends Allan & Silvana. Stopped on our way home at some places we always drive by but too busy to stop and explore. One of these placed was Fossil Falls. Now we are home and ready to start our work week. Sigh, I love affairs
Welcome to our new "Blog"! We've added blogging to the website that will allow us to better keep track of what we;'ve been doing, where we've been, and what adventures we've had. Since Facebook became very popular a few years ago, we haven't paid much attention to this website and it became a bit outdated. However, we're going to try and get this site fully operational again. Part of our reas...
