People are always commenting on the places my husband, Robert, and I visit. They find it amusing or fascinating (really, they may think we are crazy) how we become nomads for a period of time during the year. Exploring our great country on highways, byways, and back roads is what Robert and I love to …
Little House on the Prairie in Kansas
A little off the beaten path, just south of Independence, Kansas is a roadside attraction that’s worth the stop. Little House on the Prairie Museum sits on privately owned land and is one of the many childhood home sites of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Robert and I happened to be in southeastern Kansas and saw the …
Day 6 — What Time Zone Are We In?
We needed to stay put for the day and work on a deadline for a client. With lightning fast Internet we made great progress. During a work break, we took a hike on the property down the mountain to a creek. Pretty steep hike, but wonderful! It’s good to get the ole’ heart a pumping. …
Day 5 — Foster Falls and Chicken of the Woods
By 8 a.m., we were packed up and had left the campsite and headed east toward Monteagle, TN. We passed through Winchester and connected on Hwy 41A east. When we arrived at Cowan, we had to stop. It was such a cute small town. We needed to take some photos. We were stopped by a …
Day 4 — Tims Ford State Park for the Day
We stayed put at Tims Ford State Park for the day. We needed to get some work done and since I figured out that we had some Verizon MiFi signal, we felt a ton better to get something accomplished. The Internet wasn’t lightning fast, but it sure workable. After work was done, we did some …
Day 3 — Started Soggy then Had A Little Meltdown
Sunday morning was a little soggy. That didn’t deter us though. We folded up the tent and left our campsite by 7:15 a.m. We stopped at the entrance so that we could take some photos, check the tires and make a smoothie. We were just under a quarter tank of gas, so we headed to …
Day 2 – Quirky Festival and Meriwether Lewis National Monument
It was Saturday and we took our time in getting up and around. By 9:20 a.m., we were packed up and headed toward Centerville, TN to the National Banana Pudding Festival. He headed east on Hwy 100 toward Centerville. At 11:45 a.m., we arrived in Centerville and enjoyed a craft fair on the square and …
How Many Ways can you make Banana Pudding?
Who knew there was a festival celebrating banana pudding? We certainly didn’t, until we stopped at the Tennessee welcome center and saw a poster advertising the 6th Annual National Banana Pudding Festival. It just so happened that the festival was in Centerville, TN the very weekend we were to be in the area. Of course …
Time to Downsize Again!
We’ve been living in our 38-foot Alfa SeeYa for four years now. At first we put several miles on it because we needed to be in different parts of the country. We seemed to have settled back near family in Missouri. We’ve enjoyed ourselves and have worked hard building a business. Our business is designed …
Quaint Fort Scott, Kansas
Robert and I were itching for a little road trip, so one day, we buzzed over to Ft. Scott, KS. Growing up in El Dorado Springs, MO, I took for granted all the wonderful little attractions that were just a hop, skip and jump away. I guess we do that when we’re young. Now that …
