KEEPING TRACK OF A FEW RV BLOGGER FRIENDS

EVEN MOURNING DOVES BLINK SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR TRYING TO TAKE THEIR PICTURE

A long dreary gray day here in Southern Ontario so rather than give you a blow by blow of my rather mundane daily activities from the time I got up till the time I went to bed lets just go see what some of our RVing blogger friends are up to…………….

KELLY'S WORKING ON A SPRING PROMOTIONAL FLYER FOR DEER PARK LODGE

RETIRED ROD had the insurance adjuster out to assess the hail damage to their Motor Home.  Not good!!  With heavy rains fast approaching Rod had to get a tarp over the top of his rig….fast!!  Check out his site & see what happened when he tried to do that!!

TERI is carefully planning her leisurely route from Florida back to Illinois when she slips down to near Tampa shortly & picks up her very first RV.

OUR FIRST AMERICAN GOLD FINCH HAS ARRIVED

TRAVELS IN THERAPY are in the Lone Pine & Bishop areas of California patiently exploring around some of the mountain roads that will soon be free of snow.

STU & FROGGI DONNA blew a radiator hose as steam & anti-freeze belched out from under their Freightliner truck’s engine hood.  Would Stu be able to fix the leak with his ‘Monster Tape?’  Hmmmmm.

OOOOH, THERE HE GOES TAKING MY PICTURE AGAIN!!

The Gals from Oregon over at THE MOHO & OTHER TRAVELING TALES out on a week-end road trip recently spotted a strange creature on the road ahead of them which they later identified as a Fisher.  I think it was a Sasquatch:))

FOR A CHANGE OF PACE I THREW THIS FILE PHOTO IN OF A TANKER TAKING ON A LOAD OF SALT IN THE GODERICH HARBOR LAST OCTOBER:)) 

Due to an unfortunate long term health issue DOUG & JoANN have had to make some very difficult decisions this past week & it looks like they will be leaving the Southwest shortly & heading back to Florida.

GYPSY has sold her Lance camper & is contemplating selling her big dually pick up truck that she had used to haul around her 5th wheel trailer awhile back.  It’s time for some major changes in Gypsy’s life as she gears up for her next move.

OUR LITTLE MOUSE FACE
Despite surviving about half a dozen plane crashes over the last 3 months, JOHN'S flying skills are slowly improving as he managed a couple safe landings yesterday without bending up his aircraft.  John fly’s model airplanes:))


Like so many Snow Birds seem to do every year, JOHN & BRENDA have landed themselves back in Canada on the early side………..in a pile of snow.

On their way home from Florida, KEN & RUTH have been grounded in Bedford, Pennsylvania by high winds & rain.  Not nice when all you want to do is just get on home to the comforts of your own house!!

Didn’t take MIKE long to strap on some gloves & get into some good old Montana fence building after arriving back at their ranch from the Southwest this year.


And that’s about it for a drizzly Saturday.  Chance of snow here Sunday…………….

GROANER’S CORNER:((  After last night’s groaner I figured I had better go with something light & fluffy tonight…….. 
What did Cinderella say to the photographer?  Some day my prints will come............

  1. Great shot of the doves, Al. We have some right outside the motorhome every day. The sound of doves in the morning is one of the most soothing things I can think of. When I walk the dogs first thing, the doves are always out there.

    Now that I see the lens you're using to take those bird pictures with, I can understand why they look so good! Nice setup there.

    Kelly looks like her halo is a little bit high in that photo.

    Nice post for a home day. You're as good as Andy Rooney any time!

  2. If I had that beautiful set up for my computer, looking out those big windows, I don't think I would ever leave home! Actually I had something similar in NC and I left home, lol.

  6. That was fun, Al. Thanks for the shout-out! Although it all is a big boo-boo on my part since I was trying to catch up on all the travels that Mo and I did from the beginning and somehow missed posting the date for the Eureka trip October 2003!. So now I fixed it, but I have a gazillion folks seeing my blog and thinking it was sunny in Eureka recently, and that we actually would drive there without the MoHo. Not any more. We didn't have a motorhome back then. Mo got the first one in 2005 and the current one in 2007. Ah well, just trying to keep all our journals in one place and had no idea it would show up anywhere except in my own archives.
