We've been living the "on the road RV life"" since April 29th of this year. We lived the "off the road parked in our own driveway RV life" for 5 months prior to that and we've learned so much about this unique lifestyle we and millions have chosen to live. We've made several RV specific… Continue reading 08.25.13 Reviews of purchases for Dora our RV

07.28.13 Satellite dish upgrade, frost possible tonight, new neighbors and blueberries!
RV life brings with it some issues that have to be researched by each RVer based on their lifestyle and their desires and needs. When you live in a sticks and bricks house you buy a TV and get the local cable guy to hook you up and it works, end of story.

07.26.13 Brrrrrrrrrrrr, Bingo and VBS!
It is Friday, July 26th and the temperature here in Kabetogama, Minnesota at Noon is 54 degrees and windy. When my laptop starts up it still shows me the current temperature in Hammond, Louisiana which was 90 degrees about an hour ago.

07.17.13 Why Your Kids Don’t Need a SuperMama, by Ann VosKamp
When one of the boys pulls off his Sunday shoes, the filthy ones ridiculously still clinging to “Sunday Shoes” status, he catches my eye and grins like he’s swallowed a canary. “So I only wore one sock to church.” What are you going to do but laugh with the grinning kid? Yeah, I am that… Continue reading 07.17.13 Why Your Kids Don’t Need a SuperMama, by Ann VosKamp
07.11.13 Chipmunks, Loons, Awnings and Chives ~~~~~
My old boss Donna sent me this when we first moved. I don't think I've ever included it in a blog post. I guess this sign was talking about us since we retired up north! We'll be back south during the winter but at least for now we're retired Northerners. We have two little chipmunks… Continue reading 07.11.13 Chipmunks, Loons, Awnings and Chives ~~~~~
07.04.13 International Falls Minnesota Independence Day Parade!
For Independence Day Roy and I went into the nearest town (population approx. 6,900) International Falls for their parade. I tried to not expect anything like our parades especially the New Orleans variety and was pleasantly surprised at how delightful it was. I believe all the emergency vehicles from all surrounding towns were in… Continue reading 07.04.13 International Falls Minnesota Independence Day Parade!
07.02.13 A T & T – grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
This post is mostly for RVers but could be helpful to anyone who has the need of a GO phone. I believe this post rivals the Conroe, TX blog in length but definitely does not have as happy an ending. A GO phone is a prepaid phone which can or does not have to be renewed… Continue reading 07.02.13 A T & T – grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
