The eat-a-thon that is Halloween to New Year’s is almost here! We are hoping and praying the darn virus numbers will be down enough to spend quality time with our family. Since many of you haven’t been able to, wouldn’t you rather spend your time catching up than toiling away in the kitchen? It’s time…

Easy Key Lime Pie
This blog starts six years ago with a tree purchase. We had a dwarf lime tree in the backyard that withered and died, producing exactly three limes in almost 10 years. We decided to try again but the only lime tree left at Home Depot was a Key Lime. Every February it was covered in…
Royal View Campground
Canon City, Colorado has been on our radar for a while. We’d even had a trip there planned and reserved a couple of times before having to cancel. This time we weren’t cancelling, period. Then that darn virus reared it’s ugly head. Would we have to cancel yet again or would Royal View cancel? We…
Gorging on The Royal Gorge

NEW Campfire in a Can
Like many of you, we love a good campfire. But, living in the desert southwest can make that a challenge. Sometimes it’s our tinder dry conditions and sometimes real fires are a no-no at the campground. What to do, what to do. We’ve had the Camp Chef brand campfire in a can for a few…
Flying Flags YouTube
Flying your favorite flag high above your RV isn’t just for NASCAR anymore. Flying Flags YouTube We fly our flags when riding in the desert so it’s easier to find camp when we get close. This was really handy when the boys were younger. We’d let them ride around the area close to camp and…
Fall FMCA Savings
We have a new season upon us. Leaves are changing and there is a crisp in the air, just not in our corner of the world. Autumn here means the 100 degree temps are mostly done. It means we’ll be able to turn off the air conditioner and give it a much needed break. It…
Juicy Hamburgers
Growing up, grilled hamburgers were the quintessential BBQ food. Every pool party served them. When our boys were knee-deep in sports, burgers were the team party food. I think just about everyone has at least one summer memory that has a burger somewhere in the mind. We were pretty lazy regarding our patties. The giant…
