Today’s blog has a definite musical theme, as we drove Mr. Bond through East Arkansas, North Mississippi and Southern Tennessee. We were looking forward to catching live blues music in Memphis for instance, but we got a whole lot more in the bargain… Thanks to terrific local museums and old recording studios, we learned about […]
We’ve been slowly developing our own “RVing style”. Something that full time RVers do talk about a lot when we meet or on online forums, “Take your time, try different things and you’ll discover what sort of RV life suits you best”. It takes a while to find your ‘niche’, find a way of life […]

“Ter… what??!! Terlingua? Is that a place or a disease? It’s not even on the map! What is there to do for 6 days in a place that’s not even on the map?!!!!!” These words eminently spoken by my dear husband and travel partner on the eve of our departure for Terlingua, TX. It was […]
I’m a ‘mountain’ person in that I tend to re-energize or recharge best surrounded by mountains. If water is nearby in the form of an ocean or a lake, that’s a bonus, but truthfully, get me near mountains any time!
