Living alone takes a bit of an adjustment. And it’s probably different than what you expect. Contrary to being lonely, it’s the abundance of freedom that is the adjustment. There is no one here to be concerned about, to take care of, but also no one to share with. The girls are on a twelve [...]
I’ve been hearing talk this week about driving to New Jersey to babysit a little one name Sadie. It must be a new addition that I was unaware of, but it doesn’t matter. I just love to lick little kids. They just smell so good. This time we packed up the truck and left the [...]
Leaving our friends’ home to settle in the local KOA proved to be a two fold reason. I wanted to get the motorhome back from the shop to test everything out prior to heading out again at the end of the month. The second reason was despite trying not to leave a footprint, it can [...]
I didn’t want to bore you with redundant traveling. Like Charles Kuralt said of the interstate highway system: ”you can travel from one end of the country to the other without seeing absolutely anything.” So we left Oklahoma, getting off the mother road (Rt.66) and back onto I-40, due east into Little Rock, then on [...]
My absence has been due to the work hours of the past few days. Spring training is winding to a close and we’ve had capacity crowds with the Cubs, Giants, and Brewers all bringing standing room only crowds. We leave the RV at eight in the morning and our return isn’t until seven o’ clcock [...]
Jay and Chris had been staying with us for the last few days and its been like a pajama party every night. We stay up late and laugh, imbibing and stuffing our pie holes along the way. It’s four adolescents in adult bodies. We’re going to pay dearly for the decadence of caloric intake. But [...]
The first thing we did when landing here outside of Phoenix was to find a gym. Too many miles behind the wheel and a sedentary life the last two weeks has made me feel stiff and stuffed. We scoped a few out but just on a notion we wanted to check out an upscale facility [...]
It was time to scout out the area. So we fired up the Stratoliner and being a bit chilly we donned the chaps and leather and headed out for the famous Texas Hill Country. Should you want a wonderful ride you take Rt. 16 south out of Kerrville just a mile or so and take [...]
The Pontchartrain Landing RV Park provides a shuttle service to the French Quarter so we hopped aboard at ten this morning. Fog had blanketed everything around us and I didn’t know if photos were going to be possible. The first thing we did was head to the Cafe du Monde for beignets and coffee. It [...]

That entry is now in line for the “best of the year”. I would ask that you go here, VOTE FOR GYPSYLARRY (just click on [...]
