Recently I shared a recipe for blueberry crumble bars that I made with homemade blueberry jam. Our dear friends moved away but frequently stay at our house when they were back in town. She always leaves something delicious behind and her strawberry jam is the bomb. I was lamenting the final teaspoon of her jam…

Labor Day
Labor Day was set aside way back in 1894 to honor the American labor movement and contributions made to the strength, prosperity, laws and well-being of our country. It also marks the unofficial end of summer, a time folks in hot Arizona are welcoming with open arms! Our amazing summer storms have been few and…
Spot Free Clean
Keeping Mark’s girlfriend, aka our motor home, looking great is a priority for us. She gets an annual spa day where every inch is cleaned, waxed and polished to make her looking brand new again. Mark is the master of the dry wash after a particularly dirty drive and he cleans the windshield at every…
2nd Blogversary!
Today we celebrate two years of our blog! It’s been another year of sharing our food, fun, adventures and must have items. I’ve also learned much this year. Some blogs practically write themselves and others are major duds. My list of ideas is still a page written in different ink, some crossed off and some…
Sweet & Spicy Marinated Cucumbers
There I was, flipping through recipe books and scrolling through my All-Star board on Pinterest, looking. Looking for something to make. We were getting ready for trip to Happy Jack in the cool pines of Arizona and I was stumped. I’m not liking the scale right now so I was looking for something that was…
Cast Iron S’Mores
S’mores hold a special spot in my heart. We had them at every girl scout camp out and many times as a teenager hanging out at a friend’s house. Our family camping trips with our boys featured the yummy and messy treat at almost every campfire. I love seeing our boys’ messy smiles while eating…
French Quarter RV Resort
Our recent super quick trip to New Orleans was made better by being able to stay nearby. Both of us had seen rave reviews about French Quarter RV Resort and knew it was the place for us as we wanted to maximize our time being tourists. We were there St. Patrick’s Day weekend and it…
Biking NOLA
My first time to New Orleans was definitely one to remember! We stopped for St. Patrick’s Day weekend on our way home from the FMCA Rally in Georgia. Mark has been several times for work but I was a NOLA newbie for sure. It was a long drive from Perry to New Orleans and we…
Minot Musings
The 100th FMCA Rally in Minot, North Dakota is just around the corner! It’s sure to be another fabulous Rally full of information, RVs and fun. Anyone else excited? Minot dates back to vast railroad expansion in 1886 and named after Henry Minot. The town nickname, Magic City, comes from the tent town that sprang…
Blueberry Crumble Bars
We have these fabulous friends that up and moved two states away recently. Two whole states! Thankfully, they have occasions to come back and even drive through our state on their way to see their daughter. We joke that our house is their unofficial B&B. But, we weren’t going to be home on her last…
