Riding our bikes along towpaths used by mules and horses which towed canal boats, for us, is historic enjoyment. Being in this place, in this time period, allows us to picture the scene from the 1800s. It stirs the imagination and brings you back to a time when transportation was experienced at a much slower pace. Continue reading
I dare say that almost everyone had a Teddy Bear as an infant. Some bears survive and others are so badly worn they go to Teddy Bear heaven. But, there is a place you can go to relive that first animal connection. Continue reading
Mini Cinnamon Buns and Chocolate Baklava
When John approaches “the edge” Laurie knows he either needs food, caffeine or both. So we’re driving around Zachary, LA mid-morning desperately searching for a coffee house. Droid tells us, “no Starbucks, no CC’s (Community Coffee’s coffeehouses)…not much around. Close to desperation John looked around and says, “The Chocolate Café”! On the front was a neon Coffee sign – we’re parked and going in. Continue reading
Carmela Vineyards where it all comes together – wine, food, and rving. After a week of family festivities culminating with a wedding, what more could we ask for than an oasis in southern Idaho? Continue reading

Texas was in our rearview mirror and Colorado was ahead! Five days of slowly waltzing across Texas was enough. Repairs done, tornado weather behind us, blue skies in front, here we go. Continue reading
The wind in Texas has been unrelenting. We stopped in Nocona, TX on Tuesday. Wanting to sit outside and enjoy the evening, we set up chairs and our small table, had a glass of wine and the wind about beat us to a pulp. This has been a crazy weather trip along with our repairs. Continue reading

Getting ready to leave this morning we each did our usual walk around and then we checked lights. For some reason the left tail light would light yet no signal, emergency flasher or break light; yikes! No worry, call Good Sam Roadside Assistance. Yikes again; it is Memorial Day and no Mobile RV Repair is available. The best they can do is tomorrow morning. We also tried to locate someone with no luck. Continue reading
