Valentines Day

Belovedest and I bought this as our mutual present to each other today.  It's fast enough for me, and pretty easy to drive.

Just routine

A friend emailed me the other day, and asked why I haven't posted in a while. I had to reply that yes, we are safely parked and not doing that much so here is our typical routine of the day while we are at home:

Get up in the morning, have coffee.

Let the dog out.

Let the dog in.

Get the mail, pay bills.

Read a book.

Let the dog out.

Do some chores.

Let the dog in.

Let the dog out.

Check email, Facebook, return phone calls.

Let the dog in.

Eat lunch.

Talk about what to eat for dinner.

So some planning for the next trip.

Let the dog out.

Let the dog in.

Have dinner, watch the news (or right now, the Olympics)

Go to bed

Start all over again.

So, not a whole lot worth blogging about, at least not on a daily basis.  And the dog wants me to tell you that he really does not take up half the day, as mostly he just sleeps.  Yes, with his eyes open.

Happy February

The Beach House on the Move.  I think that is what we are sticking with. Now safely ensconced at home, with the Beach House washed and most things washed and put away, we get the oh-too-early spring wind which just deposited a layer of dust and dirt all over said newly washed Beach House.  Hmmppphhh.

We are beginning to get ready to commence to start thinking about the next trip to the South East US all the way down to the Florida Keys.  IF you want to see us on the way, please be sure to leave a note below or email us if we have not already talked to you about stopping by.  A couple of you will be out of town (so we will maybe see you in FL!) but we hit the road for a spring trip in just about 6 weeks. Via Texas,

We are looking forward to being able to pack the Beach House with the things we want to have, not just what fit into a rental car on the way out to pick it up.  Until then...

Thank you, thank you verrrra much

Just a quick shout-out to Bonnie and Barbara for your continuing comments and faithful readership!

And...we're back

The Beach House on the Move is washed and parked in its new home berth.  The warm and sunny day we had yesterday has been replaced by the cloudy and cold background you see in the photo.  This will be the last post for at least a week (or two or more) until we get re-settled in our routine, but check back in occasionally for the next adventure currently scheduled for March or so.  Subject to change, as always.

Homeward Bound

We opted to take two days rather than drive 9 hours in one long slog home.  So, naturally, we did not break it into two 4-5 hour days. Nope, we made it one 5 hour day, and one 7 hour day and detoured for one night to the Grand Canyon.  It was cold and windy when we arrived, but with our trusty heater we managed just fine.  And the clear view of the Milky Way and the sunrise over the canyon made it all worth it.

If you look carefully at the photo above, you can see Hercules the Travel Dog driving the RV.

Game Day

We are in Laughlin, NV, where we have taken a two day plan to 1) winterize the RV before leaving the Land of Warm and 2) watch the football game on TV rather than listen on the radio.  And in case football is not your thing, we are adjacent to a beautiful golf course where Tom has figured out we can watch the par 3 hole and rate the players.  One birdie so far.
