Our first month of full time RV life.

We sold our house in Michigan. It was on the market a little over two weeks. We had very little time to sell a lot of our furniture and excess "stuff".  We had a sale for a total of seven days and we were both exhausted when it was over. What did not sell was given to Good Will, Damascus House and Habitat for Humanity.  We took off for Minnesota. We managed to find a place to park at the Dakota County fair grounds in Farmington.  We stayed there 18 days then went to St Croix Bluffs regional park. What a beautiful place.  While in Minnesota we were able to spend time with the kids, other family members and old friends.

Overnight in Battle Creek Michigan.  So tired of driving on bumpy bad roads!  Michigan politicians should be ashamed of the road conditions in this state. The Cracker barrel did not do well either..the noise level is always bad, of course, but food was too.  The only good thing is the size of the parking lots are good for parking. Time to hit the road and head for Monroe.  I will be glad when we are out of this state.

Our home!


Full time RVers now

We are now full time RVers. So far it's been mostly good except for being without internet service at times. Right now I am using up valuable data. I will have to catch up on what we did the first month of our new lifestyle. Seems like we did a lot! Right now , month two, we left Minnesota yesterday. Spent last night at the worlds biggest truck stop in Walcott, Iowa. Plenty of parking designated for RVers. We ran across the busy highway to Grandmas kitchen for dinner. Slept great and got a Caribou coffee in the truck stop where they sell everything imaginable. On the road just crossed into Illinois. 160 miles to Chicago and will avoid the bad traffic there. Orange barrels!
