Niagara Falls…It’s Big Unless You’re Over 12 Feet Tall
We went to Indianapolis last week to work at a trade show. We do this every year, and generally take a weekend before or after to see the country around the show’s location. This year, we decided to take our vacation after the show, so it’s more than a weekend…we’ll be gone two weeks!
Walmart…All the Comforts of Home
Last week, we spent our first night in a Walmart parking lot. It had been a long day; Curtis worked a couple of hours in the morning and we hit the road around 11am. After driving close to 500 miles (longest drive so far in the RV), we were tired and hungry. We pulled into the Walmart in West Memphis.
Holiday (in the) Park, with a View
Our new life is turning out to be a blessing. It affords us the luxury of deciding where we wake up every morning. We also have a lot of control over our immediate scenery, ie the view. When you have an opportunity to pick a view, might as well pick a good one, right? Pick one with good company and it’s even better.
Internet and TV: Thinking differently in an RV

At each TV was a dedicated computer that ran Windows Media Center and an Apple TV. All this was tied back to a central NAS storage system containing a vast library of movies and TV shows I had accumulated over the years. An over the air antenna, subscription to Netflix, access to iTunes, and even some Read more →
A Tale of Two Kitties
We have three cats. Archie the Mittens, lives outside. He just showed up one day 5 years ago. He was about 5 months old. He is a very sweet, very cool, polydactyl cat. The backyard became his domain. When we sold the house, we made an agreement with the new owners that Archie would stay with the house. After all, it was already his. We were very, very sad to leave him behind, but it’s what was best for him.
This is a tale of the other two cats. And change. Read more →
Ancient Ovens
One of the reasons we have been looking forward to moving away from Paradise is the time commitment it required. This past weekend is a prime example.
Selling the House and Moving Into the RV
The decision to sell the house and move permanently into an RV was an emotional one. We loved our house. We had outside cats that could not make the move with us. But we knew we had to work through these issues. Read more →
