This past Sunday, we had the opportunity to go to the Springfield Cardinals game against the Corpus Christi Hooks. I had never been to Hammons Field and it had been at least seven years since Robert has gone. We were thankful that a friend gave us some tickets, because otherwise, we wouldn’t have thought to …
The Beeping Insanity
Our Norcold fridge has its quirks. The darn beeping drives us nuts!! When the door is ajar, it beeps. We are sure that it has something to do with the seal or the door latch. It seems to go in spurts. When we close the doors and walk away, it may begin to beep after …
Snow Hiking
We just had to get out of the RV today. We’ve been cooped up too long in front of our computers, focusing on work. It had been raining and snowing last night and wasn’t supposed to get above freezing today. The sky was gray and gloomy, but we didn’t care, we had to get …
Let It Snow!!!
The first winter storm of the season hit this week here in Missouri, and we LOVE IT!! For some reason, the cold doesn’t bother us as much as the heat, especially cold with snow. There’s something peaceful about snow that we absolutely love. Most think we are crazy, especially our Florida family. All this snow …
Hawksbill Crag/Whitaker Point
Gayla, our photographer friend Daniel Shortt, and I left early Sunday morning from Springfield, MO, and drove south on US HWY 65 to Harrison, AR. Here is where the scenic drive really began. Along Hwy 43 South out of Harrison, driving the very curvy and hilly roads, we had a few opportunities to pull over …
Old Threshers Reunion
We spent the week before Labor Day in Mt. Pleasant, IA at the Midwest Old Threshers Reunion. We arrived the Sunday before the festivities were to even begin. We thought surely the campground would be fairly empty, but were we wrong! Acres and acres of places to camp and when we arrived it already looked …
Ready for Granddaddy of Tractor Shows
The plan has been in the works for several months. My mom wanted to surprise my dad this year by going to the Old Threshers Reunion in Mt. Pleasant, IA during Labor Day weekend. In January, we got the tickets and we planned to camp on site for the entire event. We didn’t reveal our …
Refrigerator Woes
We have been having problems with our Norcold refrigerator for about a year. It would work fine when we were plugged into shore power. It was only when we were boondocking and the unit was running on propane would it falter. Last year, when traveling to Alabama, the refrigerator stopped working and threw a “noco” …
Testicle Festival
A few weeks ago, when we saw the billboard near Jefferson City, MO advertising “TESTICLE FESTIVAL,” we knew this was one event we couldn’t miss. Today was the day of the long awaited event! Olean, Missouri, population 128 grows by leaps and bounds for their annual unique festival. The city’s Jaycees club has been putting …
Working at Home in the Sunshine
Sometimes working in the office can get boring, or worse yet, you lose your creativity. Now that the days are pretty, it is worth it to lug our office outside and enjoy the fresh air. The last several days have been so productive! Something about working in the sunshine makes things go a lot better.
