Why do I do this to myself…

Well, it's going to be the coldest few days for the Midwest in almost two or three decades and I just can't stop thinking about spring. Not just spring for the sake of the warmer weather and blooming flowers, but instead for the adventures that will begin another year of memories. We started out last... Continue Reading →

Become like a child…

As we age, our interests change throughout our life. As a child, we may be focused on activities and games that sometimes we just grow out of. I'm pretty sure there aren't too many adults getting together for a night of playing Chutes and Ladders. But there are other activities that follow us into adulthood.... Continue Reading →

Let the planning begin…

The end of the RV season is upon us. After over 8,000 miles of travel in 2018, Stevie the Bus is now officially in storage for the rest of the winter. Water lines were flushed, fuel and propane were topped off, and other than the monthly start of the engine and generator to keep things... Continue Reading →

Nashville lights…

There is something about the experience of live music that is refreshing. It seems the energy that performers put out while on stage, in some way or another, just finds its way into your body. Each artist, regardless of how small the venue, how unknown they may be, is giving you every bit of energy... Continue Reading →
