Danube River Cruise Vacation Part 1: Planning and Getting to Munich
Over a year ago we made plans with Wayne’s two sisters and their husbands to go on a Viking River Cruise to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. I had been wanting to do this for a long time after seeing the advertisements on PBS, and hearing from other people who had been on a riverContinue reading “Danube River Cruise Vacation Part 1: Planning and Getting to Munich”
Gold Canyon 2024
We are back home in West Central Minnesota now. Some snowbirders stay in Arizona (or wherever they go) for as long as 6 months. I am starting to miss home before the end of our three month reservation at Gold Canyon RV & Golf Resort. This winter of 2023/2024 was a non event in MinnesotaContinue reading “Gold Canyon 2024”
Snowbirding Recap 2023
We are back home in Minnesota now after three months of snowbirding in our Fifth Wheel Trailer at Gold Canyon RV and Golf Resort. This winter in Arizona was colder, wetter and windier than recent years. Most days high temperatures were in the 60’s, with only a handful of days above 75 degrees. The coolerContinue reading “Snowbirding Recap 2023”
Fall Road Trip, Another Pair of Socks
In October Wayne and I went on a two week road trip to Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, and Virginia, putting 4000 miles on our Honda CRV. Our fifth wheel trailer sat in the driveway while we were gone, as we had family to stay with for 11 of the 14 nights we were away. WeContinue reading “Fall Road Trip, Another Pair of Socks”
Brown Socks on a Ladies Trip
Most of my readers are not interested in an entire blog post about another pair of hand knit socks. Instead I am sneaking a sock project into this post about a ladies trip I went on in July. I have traveled with high school friends in the past to Savannah, New Orleans and Quebec City.Continue reading “Brown Socks on a Ladies Trip”
Life in the RV
We have been home now for a few weeks after our snowbirding trip to Arizona in our RV. We did not know what to expect, but after living in the fifth wheel trailer for two months I have some thoughts on how it worked out and what we might do differently in the future. IContinue reading “Life in the RV”
Snowbirding in the RV
Our newish fifth wheel RV trailer sat in the driveway for several months waiting for its maiden voyage. We had hoped to go on a camping trip in the fall before towing it from Minnesota to Arizona at the end of January, but that did not work out. Two years ago we rented a smallContinue reading “Snowbirding in the RV”
New Adventures
Years ago when I was in the throes of parenting and working, I was envious of friends and acquaintances who were able to work out a break from normal life for an adventure that was completely outside the box. I dreamed about having an experience like that, but I did not know what I wantedContinue reading “New Adventures”
