A few weeks ago, when we saw the billboard near Jefferson City, MO advertising “TESTICLE FESTIVAL,” we knew this was one event we couldn’t miss. Today was the day of the long awaited event! Olean, Missouri, population 128 grows by leaps and bounds for their annual unique festival. The city’s Jaycees club has been putting …
Working at Home in the Sunshine
Sometimes working in the office can get boring, or worse yet, you lose your creativity. Now that the days are pretty, it is worth it to lug our office outside and enjoy the fresh air. The last several days have been so productive! Something about working in the sunshine makes things go a lot better.
Movin’ Down the Hill
We’ve been here at Missouri Festival & RV Park since March 10th to enjoy our first workcamping assignment. When we got here, there was still snow on the ground, so we had to park at the top of the hill, close to the front entrance. Unfortunately, this spring has not been very cooperative. Although rain …
Clifty Creek Natural Area Trail
Wednesday, we decided to take our lunch break from office work at Clifty Creek Natural Area Trail. Just under ten miles away from our seasonal home of Missouri Festival & RV Park, we thought it would be a great way to get out and enjoy the chilly, sunshiny day. The trail is about a 2.3 mile loop that …
Home Improvement
For the past two months, our lives have been consumed with house renovations…HOUSE RENOVATIONS…but yet we live in an RV! We own a house in Missouri, that we converted into rental property when we moved to Florida about five years ago. In December, our first and only tenant gave notice and moved. We knew we …
Staying Put For Awhile
We’ve been living full time in our RV for a little over a year now. We certainly do like the lifestyle. We don’t miss having a bigger house to have to keep up and clean. When the RV gets cluttered, with just minutes of effort, everything is back in place. Every time we get ready …
Habits are Hard to Break
Dogs…they are such creatures of habit. We’ve been staying at Gayla’s parents’ house now since the end of August. They have a nice, big driveway and a big fenced in back yard. The driveway is perfect for the RV and the yard is perfect for the wieners. Typically when we stay here, we back into …
Copper Run Distillery, Walnut Shade, MO
We’ve been back in our old stomping grounds of Southwest Missouri now for about a month and a half. We are enjoying the time with friends and family. We’ve been going out quite a bit to several local events to get reacquainted with the area since we’ve been gone for about four years. One such …
Rollin’ Home Soaps
I started making soap almost two years ago. I became interested in it when visiting Tarpon Springs, FL and stopped by a soap shop. For months I just kept thinking about all the wonderful hand-made soaps and longed to try making some myself. One day, I bought a kit at Hobby Lobby that included molds, …
Celebrating our First Year Nomadiversary!!!
Today marks our first anniversary as full-time RVers, or our One Year Nomadiversary so to speak. As we look back at our travel log for the year, we reflect on all the miles we’ve traveled, all the sites we visited, and all the people we’ve met. We started out our new live as full-time RVers …
