We got up at 7 am and had our lattes inside by the fireplace. Ken made oatmeal, Henna cooked hashbrowns and bangers on the grill. It warmed up enough to eat outside...another beautiful day. Afterwards it was time for showers. We then drove to Lake Skinner Park to check it out. They have a campground and we want to see how the fishing is in the lake. The park is really run down and the lake is not stocked. We asked some fishermen if they caught anything and they said no, not even a nibble. We then drove in to Temeculah Old Town. This is where the Rod Run is. Friday night was the actual 'Run' where they cruise up and down the street. Today the cars will be parked along the streets to walk by ... read more

Heading to California for the next week. I flew in from Atlanta to Tucson last night. As an update, I am still working at Children's Healthcare in Atlanta. I fly there every other week and work from 'home' the week I am not there. 'Home' is wherever I am with Ken. We have stayed in Tucson since Thanksgiving so we are feeling very anxious to get back out there! Ken has been getting some needed chores done at the house and we have been enjoying the glorious winter in the desert. As usual my flight is late out of Atlanta. It's been a horrible winter in Atlanta and as I head to the airport it is 37 degrees and raining. The most miserable kind of weather. I try to prepare my attitude as I approach the ... read more

Happy Veteran's Day! It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. We woke up at 6 am; it's 19 degrees, frost on the truck! Hot showers, eggs, coffee, tea and we are ready to go. Our morning drive is stunning- winding through the mountains, the river following along the road, the sunrise reflecting in the water, fishermen in the river, little towns. Our destination today is Las Vegas. Jason and Amy live there and it's a good stopping place for this long journey. I will work from there this week and then fly to Atlanta from there on Sunday. Ken will stay probably until Monday and then head home to Tucson with the RV. Time to settle back in our real home. I will continue to work ... read more

We went to bed pretty early. Another RV pulled in next to us which made me feel better. It feels kind of weird staying in a parking lot. Of course Ken introduced himself. A couple older than us heading to Denver for their daughter's surgery. He wished them well. I know sometimes I make fun of Ken for talking to EVERYONE he meets, but it really is helpful. I just don't like when they come knocking on my door when I'm getting out of the shower (fortunately that didn't happen last night). We are hoping we have enough water in our tank for showers tomorrow. We have a generator so we are good with power. The Walmart is open 24 hours and several times during the night I heard vehicles, but slept pretty good. Up at ... read more

We stopped in Clarksville, TN for Starbucks and got some chicken breast and pickles out of the RV. We got back on the road, just entered Kentucky....lots of harvested corn fields. We see a lot of dead deer on the road. As we get in ... read more
