We had driven through Mammoth Springs, AR many times. It has always either been too late at night or too early in the morning for anything to be open. A few years ago, we stopped just before dawn and Robert took a few long exposure shots. The morning fog and the dim lighting was pretty creepy yet peaceful at the …
As we were passing through Thayer, MO we saw the sign for Grand Gulf State Park. We’ve driven through Thayer many times but we’ve never taken the time to slow down and take a look. Today was the day for an impromptu side trip. Just 6 miles off of Hwy 63 on Hwy W, we were …
Perhaps one of my favorite quotes is: “Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.” — Charles R. Swindoll I think of it often. There are many things out of our control that happen to us, but we have total control of how we REACT. We have the choice …
The older we get, the more Robert and I realize just how small this world actually is. A couple of weeks ago, Robert and I spent the weekend in Warrensburg, MO. The reason for the trip was a gig Robert was playing and since it was a Friday and Saturday night show, we had time …
Before beginning our RV adventure, we had researched as to what state would be the best to be a resident of that is beneficial for the full-time RVer. Florida happened to be one of the states recommended for the full-timer. What a coincidence, we were already Florida residents since moving there in 2008. When we …
My momma told me, “Don’t fall in love with a hairy legged guitar player,” and what did I do? Ten years ago today, Robert and I met at the Lucky 7 in Springfield, MO. Little did I realize how significant our meeting would really be! We formed a true friendship, never really admitting that we …
This year has been busy and we’ve majorly slacked on updating our blog posts. We started our own business, Scrivener Solutions, and traveling on short day trips around where are staying in Missouri. We’ve kept up with our Facebook posts, but not so much on our website. We had every intention of making more posts, …
For weeks, Robert has been surfing the web for rooftop tents for the Jeep. He’s itching to go where no RV will go. I have to admit, rooftop tents are cool, and someday I’m sure we’ll have one. In the mean time, Robert had other ideas. Recently, we were visiting family in St. Louis. Robert …
This week, Gayla and I had a longer trip to St. Louis than we anticipated. I work with The Band Special 20 from time to time and they were appearing on Fox 2 News on Wednesday morning. Gayla and I decided to head up from Springfield to St. Louis on Tuesday afternoon so we could …
This past Sunday, we had the opportunity to go to the Springfield Cardinals game against the Corpus Christi Hooks. I had never been to Hammons Field and it had been at least seven years since Robert has gone. We were thankful that a friend gave us some tickets, because otherwise, we wouldn’t have thought to …
