I am beginning to have some growing hitch-itch. For non RVers hitch-itch is the desire and even yearning we get when we are off the road "too long" and want to get back to traveling and exploring. We still plan to head west after the house is rented. I follow several blogs, a few of… Continue reading 01.17.15 Two Chauvin men working hard… and a little hitch-itch!
1/9/2015 I woke up this morning to equipment digging up ground. ABC Well and Sewage arrived to put in our septic tank! We moved Dora forward several feet but not out to the road like before. Just enough to get her rear end out of their way! Before he put the top of the tank… Continue reading 01.09.15 Septic Tank Day!
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
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!!!!
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?’
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!
It has been non-stop for us since we left Hammond. We moved to our new property on Wednesday. On Thursday we went with our contractor Ronnie to the Roseland Health Services department to apply for our permit to install a mechanical treatment (sewage plant). Ronnie, Roy and I met with the man who will dig… Continue reading 12.12.14 We are moving right along!!
Our RVing friends Russ and Annie are headed west now to visit family and work a bit. We loved having them visit us in our little free spots at Berryland Campers. We left there this morning and they left yesterday morning. If you're from Hammond you know it's not a big sightseeing town but we… Continue reading 12.10.14 Good friends, little angels and precious grandchildren!
