Samaritan's Purse volunteer Disaster Relief build in Tuscaloosa, AL…

Being able to travel has given us so many wonderful opportunities!  Last year we were able to spend 2 weeks in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with a Samaritan’s Purse volunteer disaster relief rebuild… This year, we made a point to come back through the area.  It still shows, in many areas of the town, the effects of the […]

2 weeks parked in Alabama at the Moundville Archaeological Park campground…

Two weeks ago today, we pulled into the Moundville Archaeological Park campground near Tuscaloosa, AL… …we love walkie talkies – we bought a good set for in the vehicles; we use them when we are driving down the road, and also for ‘parking’ in our sites. Lots has happened in the past 2 weeks – Caleb […]

"You know, I was thinking"…means an RV Remodel around here…

My husband knows exactly what always follows those words… An RV remodel idea. Yep, even in an RV, there are remodels.  At least for us. Since hubby is a contractor specializing in remodels and concrete, when I have a project that I think would make our ‘home’ more comfortable, I don’t have to go far to see […]

Vicksburg National Military Park, MS…

After we visited the Arkansas Post National Memorial last Friday, we spent a down day celebrating Beth’s 17th birthday… Beth doesn’t like to be the center of attention, and looking at EVERY one of her birthday pictures from the last 10 years or so, she has snatched a little kid to help her share the […]

Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas…

Yesterday we had special plans, but woke up to rain.  It had been raining for days, and we actually had put off this destination for a day hoping that things would dry out, but when we woke up yesterday morning, and found that the 0% chance of precipitation had turned into 40%, and it was raining all […]

Our last stop in Texas…Lake Conroe Thousand Trails campground

After we left Colorado River TT, we spent one night at the Lake Conroe Thousand Trails RV Park.  It was cold, and we didn’t pull in until dinner-time, so we never did really check the park out.  It looked like a well maintained campground, and Vaughn and Eli used the weight room (Jake was too […]

Do you know what this means?????  Yep, our RV is moving and we are putting on the miles rving  Texas… It means that this tribe is on the move again!  yipee!!!   (we were stopped at a rest area making lunch) While we have spent the last month loving every minute in Texas (pretty much every […]

Colorado River Thousand Trails RV park…

We had a fabulous time enjoying our favorite Thousand Trails park (so far)!  We picked lots of pecans, and still have a Target bag full of whole pecans that need to be separated so that we can put the nutmeats in the freezer. We parked directly across from the playground since that is the girls’ […]

Fishing in Texas…

This is the story of our last 10 days… fishing in Texas! guess we’ve been doing alright!  😉 Fishing the Colorado River. Actually, I didn’t go down to the river once this visit, but the riverside RVs all knew the rest of my family! LOL! The other campers would stop them to ask them how the […]

Christmas… holidays in an RV…

We had a lovely Christmas in our RV – being in 400 sq. ft. together doesn’t dampen the warm Christmas spirit around here.  but being away from our 2 bigs does  🙁   the only way our celebration could have been better would have been if Greg and Hannah could have been here with us.  This is how […]
