Danielson - Bob and Vicki

Bob and Vicki We retired the end of 2006, and started traveling the country, working with RVICS~~Roving Volunteers in Christ's Service. We live and travel in our motor home, and work at Christian camps, schools and conference centers accross the country. RVICS isn't affiliated with one denomination; it's a Christ faith based ministry. We don't travel as a group, rather whoever is assigned to a particular project meets up on the beginning date. We're on a project about four weeks.

If you are interested in more information on RVICS, please log on to: rvics.com, or contact us. It's a blessed lifestyle.

These are some of our adventures!

(New Life Ranch) We have some exciting news; we traded motor homes! We have now have one with a slide in the living area and a second slide in the bedroom! The slide in the bedroom is what we were wanting, as that turns the bed to the side of the room, and allows the whole back wall for closet! We have found, and I have mentioned, that it’s not the amount of clothes we need, it’s the variety of seasons~~I was forever moving the warm clothes out of the totes in the basement of the bus and putting some [View Full Entry]

(New Life Ranch) We got to New Life Ranch in time for the Big Rains….again! We’re thinking about hiring ourselves out to bring rain to “we really need it” areas! We’re located in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains (which aren’t really mountains, they’re just beautiful hills!) It started raining Wednesday evening, and with it came flood warnings, the creek~~which runs right behind us and through the camp~~ flowed way out of its banks, and there was water everywhere. Everywhere that is, except the RV park! With this rocky soil it doesn&rsquo [View Full Entry]

We left Shepherd’s Staff Thursday right after work, even though there were high wind warnings (and they weren’t kidding), because we had tickets to the underground salt mine in Hutchinson, which was 250 miles away. We drove slowly, and it worked out. We were going to spend the night in Salina, but when we got there we heard that the wind was going to blow throughout the night, and again Friday, so we decided we’d rather keep going, knowing what conditions we were traveling in, than to risk it the next day. Once we got to Hutchinson, we were glad [View Full Entry]

(The Shepherd’s Staff) I’ve done a poor job of letting you know about our tours. I always get behind when I have to go someplace to use the wifi~~I get here and can’t remember what I was going to do. We are on tour for this project, and at first we thought there would be nothing to see, but then we (Bob!) looked under the surface and discovered that Colby has a museum that would rival a town three times its size. It (the museum, not the town!) covers 24 acres, and at first we allotted 1 ½ hours to [View Full Entry]

(The Shepherd’s Staff) Hey, Dorothy, we’re in Kansas! And it’s certainly different than any place we’ve visited so far….but haven’t I said that at every place we’ve visited so far! We only have three couples right now, as the other two have medical situations which will delay them a week or two; Glenn and Joyce are the leaders, and we originally worked with them in British Columbia, at Ness Lake; Wilmer and Marilyn worked with us last January through March, in Florida. The other two couples are new to us. Shepherd’s Staff is a ministry [View Full Entry]

This is how dirty Bob and Wilmer
And this is how they got that way!
Thinking about working;

More models, plus the tool

If it’s September, we must be on the road! We’re headed to Rexford, Kansas, by the way of Mt. Rushmore. We spent several days in Rapid City, where we haven’t been since our girls were in junior high. Two things come to mind: things have really changed in Rapid City, and we must be getting old. Both of those thoughts are ok with me! The weather was windy and rainy (is this the summer for that???) so we didn’t do a lot of looking around, but we did spend most of a day at Mt Rushmore. They have developed it [View Full Entry]

But he's pretty tickled to be up front for the short trip!
What a great summer this has been for us, and I hope you as well. The theme for it would have to be "Friends and Family", because we were fortunate enough to spend lots of time with both groups. We spent most of June visiting around, and then had a wonderful family reunion, and finally settled in Dickinson so Bob and Jean could begin destroying and rebuilding. During the time they were doing that, Bob and I attended his class reunion, and then two weeks later Jean and I attended ours~~40 year reunions are the best, because there's just no pretences!

Jean’s House (aka: Antelope Creek Kennels) It’s the middle of July, we’re half way through summer, and this is the first time I’ve blogged since we left project; it’s like starting a Christmas letter~~I’m wondering where to begin! Since leaving Ohio we’ve visited all our kids (they’re all great, and the grandkids are extra-great!), had a family reunion on Bob’s side of the family (a remarkable time to see the young kids, now married with kids of their own~~which leaves us as the older part of the family…how did that happen s [View Full Entry]

Throughout the year I've taken pictures of water towers that I thought were interesting. Most of them got deleted, but here are some of the others. I also began to take pictures of town signs and slogans ("Place where everyone is a friend"; "Where the people are as welcoming as the scenery"...etc. ) But it got to where we had to go back to get the picture, because it wasn't predictable where the sign would be. Bob got impatient, and I lost interest (both occurred at nearly the same time!) Besides, where would I draw the line~~I could see that I'd [View Full Entry]
