It’s 80 degrees with 40% humidity and a slight breeze. As you might guess, I am not in Florida right now. We just don;t get that kind of weather this time of year in sunny Florida. I’m in West Virginia, right along the shores of the Shendandoan Rover. In fact, when I look up […]
A lot of my family is from West Virginia. Most of the branches of my family tree are well rooted in the United States, having entered before the nation was actually a nation. And, several of the families found their way into western Virginia. And that, of course, eventually became West Virginia. When they traveled […]
I like going on vacation, but I also notice that I enjoy it a whole lot more if I don’t have a whole lot to worry about while I am away from the house. If I am going to be out driving far from home, perhaps pulling a caravan or setting up camp in the […]

I love to travel. Most people love to travel, so I’m not alone in my love for getting away from home to see new sites, taste new foods and experience culture different from my own. I am, though, extremely frugal when I make my travel agreements. I just can’t see going into debt to find […]
Plans for Gigi’s 5th birthday are coming along nicely. I already have the tickets bought for us to attend the Princesses and Pirates party at Disney’s Magic Kingdom on her actual birthday.
