It’s pumpkin season! We are happy to kick Lady Summer to the curb and lock the door. Come October I am ready for our glorious morning temps. The 100’s can stay so long as the mornings dip into the upper 60’s to low 70’s. I love pumpkin. Specifically, this pumpkin dip. It’s so easy and…
Garlic Mushroom Pork Chops
We’ve been in a bit of a food rut lately. I’ve loaded up on pork loin with BOGO deals the last few months, they are such an easy meat but I don’t want to burn out on them. Mark has discovered he likes green beans so I’m striking while the iron is hot and making…
Rancho Sedona RV Park
We have camped here since we bought our first motorhome in 1999. We badly skipped rocks across the creek. We climbed on the rocks when the water was low. We walked up to “the Y” where all the shops are and indulge in a brownie fudge sundae at The Black Cow Café. My fondest…
Fall into 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…
Pachenga RV Resort
When we wine taste in Temecula, staying at the Pachenga RV Resort is what we call a “double no brainer.” For us there simply is no other place to stay. The RV resort is located at the Pachenga Indian Casino right off Temecula Parkway, the gateway to many wineries. The campground itself it a short…
Grandparents Abroad
In honor of Grandparents Day yesterday, we are reposting our UK trip which turned into a fun trip tracing some of our family roots. We had an RV-less adventure when we took a plane (gasp) to the UK, visiting England, Scotland and Ireland. We hit all the main sights but had the added fun of…
Zoo Berlin
We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a fun trip to Europe. This time we explored Germany and the Netherlands before spending a few days on a canal boat in England. Little did we know what a fun surprise the Zoo Berlin was! We didn’t know our hotel was right next to the zoo. We…
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! Enjoy your day and thank those that are…
Summery Lemon Cake Mix Cookies
I was a mission-oriented shopper this morning at the grocery store. Mark loves yellow cake and chocolate frosting this for his birthday cake. This has been his request for 35 birthdays. Right next to the yellow cake was a lemon cake mix box. Lemon cake mix. How had I missed this? You all know how…
Seven Years!
Cheers to seven years! Today we are celebrating our blog’s 7th birthday! It’s been a busy year with not as much camping as we’d like. We were able to attend both big FMCA International Conventions this year and led several seminars. Thank you to everyone that attended, laughed at Mark’s jokes and asked great questions….
