Water! -in Arizona???

We love to come and visit our family in Arizona! We enjoy getting to know them better, and we love to help them out with projects that they may not be able to do on their own – or sometimes it’s just much easier for us to do them…Many hands make light work. This year […]

our time here…

So, while we are still in our RV (ummm, it’s our home…), we have been parked for a week and a half now. What have we been up to? Well, we are in Arizona, so it’s… Family! of course… Aunt Vera (who is Vaughn’s aunt), reads Molly a book. Molly has gotten quite used to […]

answering your letters about large family rv living…

Occasionally I receive emails from people who contact me through the blog. They are usually wondering about various aspects of getting on and living on the road. I thought that I would answer some of the letters here on the blog in case anyone else is wondering the same things! 🙂 Hi,I found your blog […]

Dear Gramma…

I’m sorry that I have been neglecting my job… I will try to reform my postings to include more pictures of your grandchildren. I hope that I will, in the future, post an adequate number of photos of your babies so that I will not require further reprimand. (hehehe! 🙂 Many XXXOOO, your repentant daughter-in-love

meeting fulltime RVing families…

One of the things that we love the most about our gypsie lifestyle, is the people that it allows us to meet, or sometimes just reconnect with! Our stay at Cottonwood was full of just such wonderful meetings. Nearly every summer while I was growing up, my family would hop in the car and take […]

Montezuma Castle and Well…

Near Cottonwood, AZ is another National Monument that we visited in addition to Tuzigoot. I was glad that we went to Tuzigoot first, because while it was interesting in it’s own way, Montezuma Castle and Well are much more grand, and TNM would have been quite a let down had we done it the day […]

Tuzigoot National Monument, Jerome AZ, and mini golf…

While we were staying in Cottonwood, AZ, we took the opportunity to visit the 2 local National Monuments; Tuzigoot and Montezuma Castle and Well. I THINK these are the only 2 National Parks in AZ (that offer the Jr. Ranger program) that we had not been to yet.  One day we took a lunch and […]

Celebrating birthdays on the road – Bethy's turn!!!

Last week, while we were in Cottonwood, AZ, enjoying the company of 4 other fulltime families, we… CELEBRATED BETHANY’S 16th BIRTHDAY!!! (yeah, I can’t believe it either!) There really wasn’t anything that she wanted to do to celebrate her birthday, so I drug her out of the house and we went shopping. Cottonwood is just […]

Cottonwood, AZ…

A week ago, we pulled into Cottonwood, AZ. It’s about an hour north of Phoenix, and situated between Sedona and Prescott. It’s NOT on the way to Uncle Larry’s, which is supposed to be our destination.The reason that we would make such big a detour was to meet MORE fulltime families!!In our first 2 years […]

our visit to Quartzsite, Arizona…

After leaving Lake Havasu AZ State Park, we drove south to Quartzsite, Arizona…. I keep saying that Q isn’t really our thing, yet we have found ourselves here for a few days each year!We pulled into our usual spot – out on Plomosa Road, a few miles north of the little town of Q. This […]
