My laptop screen is black, and unit has aged to the point where Apple does not service it anymore. We relocated to Indian Creek Recreation Area. Posting with iPhone is tedious. Last night tornado warnings got us out of bed, and into the "Very tall Ram". We did not hear the sound of a freight… Continue reading Macbook Air Bummer
Squirrel Head Gumbo
Chicot (She-co) State Park is within the boundaries of Evangeline Parish, Louisiana. Now, I’ve never tried squirrel gumbo or squirrel head soup, so I can’t knock it, but it is a pretty big deal here. So much so the schools in Evangeline Parish are closed on the opening day of squirrel season. The event name "Squirrel Day" was… Continue reading Squirrel Head Gumbo

Keeping the joy, you betcha!
Before we retired Deb bought a 2018 Flagstaff 26FKSB (Travel trailer) sight unseen. It was in Bossier City, Louisiana (LA). We transitioned into the new unit on Thursday 10/18, but because of a failed component we are still camped at Cypress Black Bayou Campground and waiting for Tuesday’s service appointment. Fortunately we didn’t motor on down the… Continue reading Keeping the joy, you betcha!
“Free!! No way, ay”
10-16-18 Tim and Eva, a very lovely couple bought a used tiny trailer, and are visiting the U.S. for several months. They were able to purchase the National Parks and Recreational Lands Pass even though they are residents of Ontario. The pass is good for one year, where as ours is for lifetime. (Approximately 40… Continue reading “Free!! No way, ay”
Hot Springs Arkansas
Our first day in Hot Springs, Arkansas (AR) was focused on hiking. We walked to town using a mountain trail right from the campsite, and had homemade banana pudding ice cream. Turn of the century Bathhouses is the tourist draw to Hot Springs, AR. They are part of the Hot Springs National Park system with an… Continue reading Hot Springs Arkansas
We are South Dakotan’s
Relinquishing our Minnesota (MN) residency for the benefits of being South Dakotan's did not play out as I had imagined. I was expecting to leave MN with a warm pat on the tuckus and hearing “Off with you now.” Instead it was a cold wet slap in the face and hearing “Ha ha,,, in your… Continue reading We are South Dakotan’s
Houseless
The past 5 months have been an uneven balance of decision-making and recreation time. To date Deb and I have retired from working for the man, sold “The Bohnarosa,” and purchased a very tall RAM truck to tow our travel trailer. Today we implement the final step… Continue reading Houseless
Mystery Holes
Nature tables are found in National, State, County, City Parks and libraries among other places. I particularly like the mystery hole display. You know the kind. The sign reads, “What is it?” So you reach through the hole, feel what is inside and guess what it is. My wife and I retired, signed up for… Continue reading Mystery Holes
After 37 years
There is so much to talk about. In a couple of weeks I will have time to share some life changes such as selling a home for the first time, and living in a travel trailer full-time. The last four months have been demanding, with laser focus on "Doing the next right thing." With Joy,… Continue reading After 37 years
