The beginning of November means… it's horse show time! You may remember from previous posts that our niece rides in horse shows. The shows remind me of dance recitals - an afternoon of spirited music, sparkly costumes and kids wearing huge smiles. There was the occasional toddler meltdown or sudden bout of stage fright, but … Continue reading Horse Show Camping

Meet Winnie
Meet Winnie... our Winnebago Micro Minnie. For our first ‘shakedown’ trip, we camped at Grayson Highlands State Park with the #StillWinnie Adventure Team and additional friends. How many Winnies do you see? Fantastic food, bikes on the Creeper Trail, sweet dogs and good times with friends... life is good.

Love where you live
I love where we live - but not the cold weather. I endure the 4 months of winter waiting for the reward of the weather the rest of the year. I love a beautiful snow day - one day. After that, I’m over it - ready for summer! There is a sense of accomplishment though … Continue reading Love where you live
One year of retirement, a review for my “PD peeps”
The featured image for this post pretty well represents a lot of my thoughts and experiences in the last year. It was taken during my "solo retirement RV adventure" trip in February. I had been planning to take this trip days after my retirement date at the first of the year. A delay due to … Continue reading One year of retirement, a review for my “PD peeps”
