02.01.14 Dora is a slim chick!!!

We put off having Dora weighed as long as we could, but today was the day we got her on the scales!  The annual vehicle registration folks from South Dakota sent us a form to complete last month and it asked for her weight.  We gave them the manufacturers maximum weight from the manual but… Continue reading 02.01.14 Dora is a slim chick!!!

01.30.14 Mount Dora …… is that a mountain named after our RV Dora?

Never, ever in our previous non RV life would I imagine myself pulling into a strange shopping center parking lot and calling it home.  Yet that's what we've done a few times including today.  We have our own supply of water and can generate our own electricity for a little while so we're set! We're… Continue reading 01.30.14 Mount Dora …… is that a mountain named after our RV Dora?

01.30.14 Bye Bye Bee’s RV Resort!

We are leaving Bee's RV Resort on our way to St. Augustine to visit our friends Russ and Annie. The weather is really bad in St. Augustine right now (the Louisiana weather must be making it's way there) so we're going to stop at a nearby Sams for the night and try to drive there… Continue reading 01.30.14 Bye Bye Bee’s RV Resort!

01.29.14 Universal Orlando parks still standing, Chauvins……. not so much, but loved every minute of it!

We had an absolutely marvelous fun time at Universal Studios and Universal Islands of Adventure!  The ride waits were not bad, except for two or three of them. The weather was perfect - in the 70s both days!  Some new rides awaited us since the last time we went to Universal.  The rides now incorporate… Continue reading 01.29.14 Universal Orlando parks still standing, Chauvins……. not so much, but loved every minute of it!

01.26.14 Honey Pot, Lakeridge Winery, Abracadabra and RV Park Worship!

Our stay at Bee's RV Resort has been an enjoyable one thus far.  This is really a place where the snowbirds land when leaving the cold north for the sunny south.  Most of the park are plots of 800+ square feet that you can buy and it's yours to bring your RV whenever you want,… Continue reading 01.26.14 Honey Pot, Lakeridge Winery, Abracadabra and RV Park Worship!

01.24.14 It snowed in Louisiana!

For the many northerners that asked us if it ever snowed in Louisiana, the answer is yes!!! It snowed this morning in our hometown of Hammond, Louisiana.  Roy and I are in Sunny Florida, but my Facebook wall was filled with snow pictures and cartoons this morning. The schools are closed including the University and… Continue reading 01.24.14 It snowed in Louisiana!

01.23.14 Day Three (Final Day) – RV Window Repair

Day three is our final day in the process of having our windows defogged.  We were originally told it might take five days so we're pretty happy with how fast they did their work. Our cardboard window coverings are a thing of the past.  In their place are beautifully clear and shiny defogged windows.  After… Continue reading 01.23.14 Day Three (Final Day) – RV Window Repair

While all the work went on inside the building disassembling, cleaning, recleaning and resealing our windows nothing went on outside at the RV.  The pictures below are what we look like with cardboard windows in place while we wait! Thank goodness for a big front windshield that is open and sun coming in,  or it… Continue reading 01.23.14 Day Two – RV Window Repair

We pulled in on Monday, the 20th at Suncoast Designs in Hudson, Florida.  Checked in at the office and parked Dora for the night. This morning, Tuesday, the 21st, someone came to assess the work they are going to do for us.  I was still sleeping so there are no pictures of this part! They… Continue reading 01.21.14 Day One – Window Repair Journal

Do you have foggy RV windows? We have 5 of them and we're getting them fixed!  Not replaced but they remove them, take the glasses apart, clean them, reseal them and reinstall them. Lots of RVers have this same problem and we thought this would be helpful information to pass along.Here's information from the company… Continue reading 01.19.14 Do you have foggy RV windows?
