August 22-25, 2014 – Sikeston, Missouri




We left West Memphis Friday morning and drove north to Sikeston, Missouri where we are visiting with Nancy’s nephew, Christopher and his wife, Madison.  Christopher and Madison have 10 month old twins named Nathan and Hattie – we are so anxious to meet these two little ones.
We met Madison’s parents and grandmother for dinner Friday night and after dinner Great Aunt Nancy couldn’t wait to get on the floor and play with these two sweeties.









Nancy and Madison are reading the books and playing with the stuffed manatees we brought from Florida.  These two babies are so sweet and happy all the time – we only heard them fuss once and that was because they were tired.  Nathan, sitting on Nancy’s leg, is serious and quiet while Hattie is the more lively and active one.







Saturday we met Madison’s parents for breakfast and then went to the farmer’s market in town.  We bought some great plums and cherry tomatoes – Mmm nothing like garden fresh fruits and veggies.  The rest of the day we spent playing with those two little ones.  They are the happiest and best behaved babies we have seen.  They keep Christopher and Madison very busy all the time.  Christopher and Madison are doing a wonderful job with these two.  We had a great time visiting with Christopher and Madison and especially playing with Nathan and Hattie.  We enjoyed meeting Madison’s parents and her grandmother.

June 4-11, Loveland, CO

Sunday morning, we drove to Loveland, CO – again it rained the entire trip.   We are staying at Loveland RV Park.   This is the park we stayed at for 6 weeks between our house selling and our retirement starting. Monday morning, we attended the services at Fort Logan National Cemetery for Nancy’s parents.   Nancy’s mother passed away 5 years ago and her father passed away in January.   There wishes were to have their ashes interred at Fort Logan National Cemetery.      Waiting for the ceremony to start.                                                            Folding the flag Taps (see video below, make sure audio is on) and a 21-gun salute.                       Deacon Mike giving the final blessing. It was a beautiful ceremony in a very peaceful and restful setting.  We were fortunate that we had nice weather and it did not rain.  After the ceremony, we visited the grave of our good friend, Bob, who was buried here last year. We spent some time with Nancy’s son, daughter-in

May 6 – 31, 2023, Chama, NM

We arrived in Chama and got set up on a river site at the Rio Chama RV Park.   We will stay here until June 1 st and help the new owner, Dale, get the park ready for the season.   The river is very high right now but the view from our campsite is wonderful. We drove to Pagosa Springs on our day off to get groceries and were happy to see all the snow still on the mountains.   We are glad that the Rockies got a good amount of snow this winter. We enjoyed our time helping Dale get the RV park going and also seeing all of our “Chama friends” but we are anxious to get back to traveling again.

September 5-11, 2013 – Copalis Beach, WA

It must be moving day again as it is raining – seems like the last few weeks it has rained every time we move.   We left Port Angeles and headed west on Highway 101 and then turned south and followed the west side of Olympic National Park.   The highway then turns west to the coast where we stopped at Ruby Beach.   We donned our rain gear and walked down to yet another beautiful Washington beach. People had stacked little rock cairns on a sand dune in front of these great rock stacks. We could barely see Destruction Island Lighthouse through the fog. After spending a little time on Ruby Beach we headed back down Highway 101 to Copalis Beach where we are staying at the Copalis Beach Sunrise Resort.   This is a very nice resort next to the beach. We only have to walk to the end of the resort then about a block through some dunes to the beach.   This is a great beach and is almost deserted this time of year.    The dogs love t
