It’s an exciting day! Last week the wonderful folks at FMCA asked me to be part of a team of guest bloggers as they build the lifestyle portion of their brand. To say I was excited was an understatement. I couldn’t stop smiling all week! Today was the first of I hope many blog posts…
Explore Safely
We had a nice twenty-mile ride Saturday morning. It had been a while and it was good to be back in the saddle again. There are no headphones when we ride as we need to be able to hear cars and trucks around us. Aside from the noise of the wind, and man, Saturday’s ride…
Easy Lemon Meringue Pie
Easy and Meringue in the same sentence? You betcha! In our house, pies aren’t just for holidays. That’s why we run. And right now we are running a lot. This recipe comes from my mother in law, Gail. She found it in the recipe book for her very first microwave over forty years ago and…
Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmas, aunts, step-moms and special mom figures in our life. May your day be truly blessed.
Scallops and Zoodles
Raise your hand if you’re trying to eat healthy. Wave your hands wildly if it doesn’t happen everyday. Sometimes you just want a cookie, or ten. I’m sure eating an entire container of Oreos would be frowned upon. Delicious, but frowned upon. No cookies for us for dinner this week. We are still working on eating…
Deb’s Broccoli Salad
Cue to Father’s Day probably 15 years ago. It’s pool party time with several friends and neighbors for our annual BBQ. Sometimes the number of people change but one thing remains the same; really good food. The guys cook for us on Mother’s Day but Mark insists on manning the BBQ for Father’s Day. Okay,…
The All Important Weather App
You have your travel planning apps, fuel apps and fitness apps. They are all key apps to have for RV travel. But don’t forget one of the most important apps: weather. Currently I have seven weather apps on my phone. I know, seven may seem excessive but I used to have nine. You could say I’m…
Blueberry Breakfast Casserole
Breakfast after Pat’s Run is a tradition for us and our friends, Eric and Michele. Most times we head to a restaurant for a nice big breakfast, because we deserve it. This year we talked about our post-run breakfast at a new breakfast place but there were eleven of us. That could be a challenge…
Pat’s Run
Every April 30,000 people gather in the parking lot near ASU’s Sun Devil Stadium. It’s early, but they still come. There are super fast sprinters, wheelchair racers, teams, families, military platoons and walkers. Many, like us, have the date circled in red on the calendar. They come from near and far but they are all…
Country Thunder
What. A. Weekend! We can now call ourselves Country Thunder veterans. We’ve talked about going for years, even buying a campsite before then selling it, but this was the first year that we were actually able to go. In years past, the boys sports schedules and Mark’s travel interfered and we ended up selling our…
