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 …
We’ve Hit Rock Bottom, Again!
Here we are, Robert and I are hitting Rock Bottom. Yep, we are going to the Rock Bottom Chuck Wagon Races again. This event gets bigger and bigger every year, and it’s even in the middle of nowhere! Over 5,000 participants and spectators are expected to diverge onto the ranch near Green Forest, AR this …
Unexpected Connection
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 …
Florida Reflection
At the beginning of the month, we flew to Florida for a quick trip. As we traveled, we were reminded why we choose not to call Florida our full-time home. Top 5 Reasons We Don’t Like Florida 5. It’s too Hot 4. Traffic 3. TOO Many People 2. Fire Ants 1. Did I mention the HEAT?!! We lived in …
Ten Years and Still Going Strong
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 …
Adventurous or Redneck?
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 …
They’re gonna put me in the movies…no, just tv
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 …
The Beeping Insanity
Our Norcold fridge has its quirks. The darn beeping drives us nuts!! When the door is ajar, it beeps. We are sure that it has something to do with the seal or the door latch. It seems to go in spurts. When we close the doors and walk away, it may begin to beep after …
Snow Hiking
We just had to get out of the RV today. We’ve been cooped up too long in front of our computers, focusing on work. It had been raining and snowing last night and wasn’t supposed to get above freezing today. The sky was gray and gloomy, but we didn’t care, we had to get …
Old Threshers Reunion
We spent the week before Labor Day in Mt. Pleasant, IA at the Midwest Old Threshers Reunion. We arrived the Sunday before the festivities were to even begin. We thought surely the campground would be fairly empty, but were we wrong! Acres and acres of places to camp and when we arrived it already looked …
