We kicked off the first 3 weeks at… Continue reading Orlando Thousand Trails Resort – 3 weeks Dec 2019
Nov 22-24 We’re a Great Team
I am so glad that when we first thought about getting a motorhome we agreed that we would only get one if we BOTH were comfortable driving it. Not only are we both comfortable driving Vinny, we both enjoy it, so we share driving 50-50. This also allows us to have occasional days where we… Continue reading Nov 22-24 We’re a Great Team

NOV 18We’ve started out on our next travel adventure. First stop–YUMA. We stayed with our friends, Janet and Bob Bockus.

Intro to Pickleball-TT Palm Springs Jan 2019
Barry and I brought out our new Monarch Dragon Slayer pickleball paddles that I bought over a year ago in preparation for this retirement lifestyle.

Palm Springs TT – Dec 2018:
We decided to have an early Christmas with the kids so that Erika and Justin wouldn’t have to fit time with us in on their very busy Christmas Day. Having an early Christmas actually had unexpected advantages. It allowed us to have one-on-one time with them that was not rushed. Nor were Isaac and Mona… Continue reading Palm Springs TT – Dec 2018:
