In the past few months, Ellie and I have logged a lot of miles together. In July, we drove from Sarasota, FL to Lake George, NY. Just shy of two months later, we drove from Lake George, NY to Sacramento, CA. In both cases, George did his thing focusing on finding truck stops and we… Continue reading Road Trip Tips

Lake George
What a special summer we had in Lake George, NY. While the best part was being close enough to visit family in nearby Maine, we really did like the area. We stayed at beautiful Ledgeview RV Park. It is by far our favorite yet. It offers mountain views, large sites and beautiful facilities. The park… Continue reading Lake George
Hello from California
Once again, there’s a lot to catch up on. After about 3 weeks, we got our home (5th wheel) back from Lazy Days in Tampa, FL (this was in early June). I wish I could say it was a good experience, but there was a shocking lack of communication on their end and our home… Continue reading Hello from California
Bye Bye Venice
Hello again, again :). I’m typing from a beautiful rental house in Myakka City, Florida. It’s out in the country and has my dream wrap around porch as well as a sizable fenced-in back yard. There are even a few cows in a pasture right next to the house. Goats and roosters are within earshot,… Continue reading Bye Bye Venice
Hello Again
Greetings from the Sarasota area! Yes, we’re still here. We opted to stay put with the pandemic and have been bouncing around the local RV parks. Thankfully, there’s been plenty of work for George to remain in the same contract. After many months without true wifi at our home on wheels coupled with no longer… Continue reading Hello Again
Thanksgiving
Though we celebrated Ellie’s first birthday almost two weeks ago (post to come), this was Ellie’s first Thanksgiving. She missed it last year by about ten hours. We had a wonderfully simple and sweet Thanksgiving at home. Initially, we planned to join George’s dad in California, but in the end we decided to wait until… Continue reading Thanksgiving
Books We Read – The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself
I haven’t been writing book recaps for months, but I continue to enjoy reading while nursing Ellie. I typically email what I highlight to myself via the Kindle app, but I realized my notes for The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael A. Singer didn’t make it through before returning it to the… Continue reading Books We Read – The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself
Mom Mobile
A few weekends ago, we awoke to the startling sound of a severe weather alert. There was a tornado warning in our area. Evidence of rotation was identified on radar and headed our way. Living in a 5th wheel and unsure which buildings at the RV resort would be accessible at 3:30 am, George and… Continue reading Mom Mobile
Halloween
This was the first Halloween I spent with these two. Of course it was Ellie’s first Halloween, but also the first time George wasn’t away on storm since I met him. We had a pretty routine Thursday, with the exception being I brought a little turkey with me to Mom & Baby Yoga at Rosemary… Continue reading Halloween
From Bradenton to Venice
Two weeks ago we moved about 30 miles south to Venice (FL). We spent the previous 3 months at Winter Quarters Manatee in Bradenton. With the back and forth to New Port Richey, we didn’t do as much exploring as we would have liked, but here are a few places we enjoyed in the area.… Continue reading From Bradenton to Venice
