The time finally came to travel to Missouri for the month of January. We had been planning this trip for three or four months and we were anxious to get on the road for a change of scenery. Although we had sold a ton of stuff at our garage sale back in September when we moved …
Time to go to Missouri
The time has finally come and we were off to Missouri. We had been planning this trip for the past three or four months. After we had downsized and moved out of our rental house, we still had some things that that we didn’t feel we could part with yet, so we rented a storage …

Christmas Light Display
Wow…St. Pete has a house that could outshine the Griswalds. Our friend Pug Baker told Robert about the house, so we decided to visit it last night. The homeowners started a modest light display in 1977 and boy has it grown! Three electric meters are needed to handle the power of over 500,000 lights. When …
Indian Rocks Beach Boat Parade
Even though it’s warm down here in Florida, the holiday spirit is in the air. Our good friends Hippie and Blondy (aka Dave & Helen) invited us on their boat as they participated in the Indian Rocks Beach Boat Parade Saturday night.

RV Bath
Having a white vehicle is a pain. It seems to get grimy quickly. The last time Robert gave the RV a good bath was when we were still living at our rental house. We are parked under a couple of live oak trees and those tiny leaves get everywhere. He has swept the roof several …

Our close friends Dave, Helen, and Nikki live in IRB and asked us to join them in the parade as the homeowner’s association participated with a posse of decorated bikes. We took time …

Wandering Wieners — Cedar Key, FL
Today we got to go on a car ride with Mommy and Daddy. We all hopped in the Jeep and were ready to go. Lucy, Oscar and I decided to relax and take a nap because the last time we went on a road trip, we ended up walking about five miles. Today, who knows …
Sunday Drive — Ocala National Forest
Do you like to just get up and drive just to see what you can see? Robert and I do. Sometimes we start driving and we don’t know where we’ll end up. Today we decided that we needed to get out of the hustle and bustle of Pinellas County, so we headed north-east toward Ocala. …
