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…

Orangeland RV Park
We found this gem of a campground during our recent trip to California. Orangeland RV Park is located in the City of Orange, across the Santa Ana River from Angel Stadium and the Honda Center, home of the Anaheim Ducks. It’s also only a few miles from Disneyland and California Adventure, making it a great…
Hawaiian Chicken Sliders
When our boys were young, we were knee-deep in sports. Baseball, football, soccer and volleyball sure kept us busy. During baseball season, sometimes our only day off was Sunday. I actually looked forward to the nights when we had two games in one night because that meant we could have another night of us all…
Happy Birthday America!
Today our wonderful country turns 243! However you celebrate this day, take a moment to think of those amazing people who came together to make this great place called the United States of America.
Patriotic Jello Parfaits
Watch it wiggle, see it jiggle, it’s Jello brand gelatin. Jello is such a fun and easy dessert. Fancy Jello desserts make their appearance every year during the holidays but they are sometimes forgotten the rest of the year in our house. If you’re looking to get your kids involved in the kitchen, making Jello…
O Canada!
Our first trip to Canada in our motor home was part of our three-week cross-country trek. We left Arizona as soon as Jeff’s last baseball playoff game was over and hit the road. To quote the song from Smokey and the Bandit, “We had a long way to go and a short time to get…
Vineyards RV Park
When people tell you Texas Hill Country is pretty, believe them. They are 100% telling the truth. There are a few RV parks to choose from in Fredericksburg. Our choice was The Vineyards of Fredericksburg RV Park because we’d read good things and vineyard RV parks in other wine country areas have been winners. We…
Downtown Fredericksburg
As I’ve said many times, I love me some little downtown areas. I love walking up and down the streets, especially ones with old western boardwalks, and learning the histories of these places. Downtown Fredericksburg, in the heart of Texas Hill Country, ranks near the top of all the downtown places we’ve been. Many of…
Cheesy Garlic Asparagus
Mark has been anti-vegetable for as long as I’ve known him. Yeah, there were a few he would eat; peas, corn, potatoes and artichokes but that was pretty much it. Early in our marriage he added salad to his repertoire, but only iceberg. He called it a Honeymooners Salad, lettuce alone. Insert hysterical laughter here….
Happy Father’s Day
