Most of the photos in this post were lost when I accidently deleted 2000 photos recently. We purchased all the kitchen appliances yesterday, all matching Frigidaire, to be delivered when the time is right! That will be a happy day! The storage shed parts will be delivered tomorrow and as always Roy is terribly prepared… Continue reading 01.05.2015 Update on house construction
HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE! We want to share with you some stats on our blog Dora and the Explorers for 2014. Because we didn't travel all year I began writing about topics other than traveling in 2014. This brought many new followers to the site which is kinda neat! Now that we're in the construction phase… Continue reading 01.03.15 Who read Dora and the Explorers blog in 2014???
2014 wasn't the travel filled year we would have liked. We did travel to Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Texas but that's the extent of our 2014 RV travels. We stayed longer in our home state than we originally planned because of selling our sticks and bricks house, which finally happened December 3rd, 2014. Probably near… Continue reading 01.01.15 Reflections on God’s Blessings in 2014
Just a quick post to share that after almost 3 weeks of boon docking in Dora, our RV, we NOW HAVE POWER AND WATER!! Hopefully, we'll have a septic tank next week so that will be the final part of us will be connected to something that makes life normal for us. Grant Fauntleroy with… Continue reading 12.31.14 Jim Carrey ain’t got nothing on us! I’ve got the power……!
Just when you thought you might not see Dora and the Explorers showing up in your email box or on Facebook for a couple of days, the big rains came and our new home is anywhere but in paradise right now!! The two pictures below show the view from the side of the pond looking… Continue reading 12.27.14 Uh oh, all is not well in paradise!
On Christmas day, for the first time in a while, we didn't have to go anywhere. Roy got up early to set the post and put our new mailbox together for Dora.  I wanted a pretty mailbox and he wanted one big enough to hold packages he seems to always be receiving! Roy found just… Continue reading 12.26.14 Christmas Day Campfire, trench digging and applying for electricity!!!!
It's certainly been a busy Christmas season! First our home church's Children's Choir sang and spoke words of Christmas where Christ is center stage. Then Trinity's wonderful Adult Choir shared their love for the Lord through Christmas music. We joined Madisyn, Liz, Billy and Josh at River Rock Church in Loranger last week to watch… Continue reading 12.24.14 Our Christmas 2014
I'm pretty certain everyone has heard of Billy Graham. I've enjoyed his crusade sermons throughout my life.  I still watch the reruns of really old ones, they are that special. Recently I've enjoyed reading devotionals and stories the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association publishes. Being Christmas time and since the song Mary, Did You Know? is … Continue reading 12.16.14 More to the Music: ‘Mary, Did You Know?’
So much has happened that we've been too busy for me to write regularly. Early last week we met Todd and Ronnie at our property where they staked out the location of the house and our RV pad. It was neat to see how everything will lay out on what is now just empty land. … Continue reading 12.16.14 Staking and digging and forming!
We enjoyed our time on our new land but were real ready for the boondocking to be over with! For you RV newbies, Boondocking is Dry Camping in the Boonies without Hookups. We've done it in Walmart parking lots for a day or so but never 5 days in a row. Here's one of the… Continue reading 12.15.14 Boondocking, TBC Christmas Cantata, Ponchatoula Christmas Parade and Soldier Chip!
