If Eternity Is Forever, Am I There Now?
We have not yet found our rhythm. For six months we have been setting up our campsite, and making it home for a week or so. We play, eat, sleep, visit, then we pack up and head off towards what could be our next (non-virtual) PlayStation. New day, new campground, new surroundings, sometime the NEW… Continue reading Red Top Mountain State Park
From his neck down a man is worth a couple of dollars a day, from his neck up he is worth anything that his brain can produce. (Thomas Edison) Our six month on the road anniversary had just past, and we found ourselves camped next to Andy and Carolyn. We were in our travel trailer,… Continue reading From The Neck Up
In March Deb drove us to St. Augustine, FL. It lays claim to being the oldest city in the U.S., and is known for its Spanish colonial architecture, as well as Atlantic Ocean beaches like sandy St. Augustine Beach and tranquil Crescent Beach. We had walked over seven miles on Crescent beach a month earlier. … Continue reading St Augustine, Florida
The past months we have identified a number of campsites, which would fit nicely with our route of travel. Sometimes the campgrounds are for military personal only. Grassy Pond has been open to the public for two years. It is located just south of Moody Air Force Base where my dad was stationed for six… Continue reading Grassy Pond, Military and Public
We sold our home 24 weeks ago, and have been living in a 238 square foot travel trailer for 24 weeks. That’s the way it went down. We drove our truck and trailer to the realtor’s office October 5th for the closing, and drove off with a check. One week earlier we had retired from the workplace. The… Continue reading Teeners and Shufflers
Boca Grande There was only one ask, “Be at the dock by 10:00 am.” “Gee gosh, you mean I have to set an alarm? Punta Gorda is a two hours drive away! Well OK, if I have too.” Getting up early has its rewards. Coincidently my brother Bill and his wife Vicky were vacationing in… Continue reading “Where are we going?” “I dunno, where is your heart leading you?”
Love thy neighbor. Which one? The quiet retired couple to the right of us, the loud talkers several more sites to the right, or the spring break party bunch behind us? They are all neighbors. This transient, nomadic life style provides for many neighbors. We have different neighbors almost every day. Every week or so, we… Continue reading Neighbors
For six day’s Deb and I partnered with “Time To Revive” (TTR) in Apollo Beach, Florida. It was a controlled blur. Everyday a great deal happened, too much to document and share. To paint a tiny picture of how the TTR model plays out, I have three short stories; Blissology, Gibsonton, and The Tower. Blissology… Continue reading Love, Listen, Discern, Respond
It’s kind of weird/normal having a personal relationship with Jesus. I suppose by some it could be viewed as having an imaginary friend. I use to see it that way. Oh but what a wonderful friend, and tour guide we have. In Sarasota, FL we met up with Ellis and Marcia, several dear friends from… Continue reading Shuffleboard, anyone?
Our third trip on Silver Spring Run offered up rhesus macaque monkeys, how cool is that? We launched from Ray Wayside Landing about 5 miles south of the springs vents. This is also a popular landing for kayak and canoe tours that drop you in the water upstream, and then you drift to a pick up… Continue reading Monkey Business
