Everywhere you look people are talking about spring cleaning. The RV is no different. When we had our class C, we would take a day and go through it top to bottom. Mark would take care of the outside while I handled the inside. It looked so good when we were done. Our Phaeton is no…
The Camper That Started It All
When I say Mark grew up camping, I really mean it. He has camped his entire life. It was a white 1964 Corvair Van. A camping van complete with a little refrigerator, sink and stove. They later added a little pop up for the top that added another sleeping spot. Then came a little awning…
Cool Lemony Delight
Easter in Arizona is always an adventure, weather wise. After our winters are over, we look forward nervously to the warming temperatures of spring. We don’t want the 90’s to arrive too soon because that means the 100’s are not far behind. If only we could have January and February temps year-round, sigh. Most times…
E-Z Hook
People often post questions on different forums about “must have” items for their RV. The responses range from a plethora of tools to wine openers and more. We also have a list of things that are so important they stay in our Phaeton. Yes, tools and a wine opener are on that list. So is…
Super Spinach Salad
Sometimes you just need a big salad for lunch or dinner. I don’t order salads in restaurants all that often. Most times they are way too big or are drowning in salad dressing. When I do, I order the dressing on the side and ask for a take-out container right away. In my head, it’s…
Happy Easter!
From our Easter basket to yours…
Butternut Squash Ravioli Bowl
I admit I’m a little late to the butternut squash party. However, it’s a party I’ll be dancing all night at and will be the last one to leave. I never thought to buy it for us. It’s a vegetable, and a new one to Mark at that, so I never thought he would even…
Lemony Iced Sugar Cookies
This recipe was one of those happy accident kind of things. I made blueberry bars that called for some lemon juice and had 1/2 a lemon left so I hopped online and found this wonderful gem. Credit Passion for Savings for these delicious little cookies. When I made it the first time, I had already…
Blonde Brownies
I know it’s spring now and I should be thinking about making lemony things or lighter desserts but I can’t get these blonde brownies out of my head. Mark’s been training for a triathlon so we’ve been eating better. Thank goodness that’s over! Well, for a hot minute as we do have two runs in…
Silver Strand State Beach Campground
Sun, surf and sand? Yes please. Growing up in Southern California the beach was a big part of my life. Anytime we get the chance to get back for some fun in the sun, I am all in. Silver Strand State Beach fits the bill. Silver Strand is a nice little campground in the state…
