Whoa, Big Fella! What's happening? Where are we? OMG.....we're home! Yes, that's right. Here we are in Shongo....home of the Guenter's.....8:40 P.M. - (the 24th). Flying and bumping along the various highways (treacherous as they were), Cory, the Road Rider Ranger, managed to get us home one day early: safe & sound. Hallelujah! Good job, Bucky! Home, again, Home, again...Hooligan. I hardly had to document any speeding on his part, also. That's saying something. We are welcomed home to "brown stick" scenery, NO snow (Yahoo), Amish buggies, a far off, fading sunset through our bug laden windshield and a large mud hole in our side yard that resembles the bad mudslide in the state of Washington. Too dark to show you the real thing but I have offered substitutions. Remember the water well problem we had ... read more

Ahhhhhhh- Autumn is all around us. Each season gives us a new look and perspective. Fall is beautiful....like a sunset in evening but it lasts all day with the beautiful colors that radiate off the hillsides. It gives you a warm feeling even though the temperature outside is cooling. It's a busy time: trimming back the flowering plants that gave us such delight during the summer, storing our "bistro" and porch furniture away (no more afternoon delights), winterizing the RV, mowing over the trillions of fallen leaves. Summer is fun; Autumn is festive. But it seems like a lot of work that goes along with these changing seasons. Next on the agenda will be the snow.....pretty but painful. Fortunately, it signals a bright spot on our horizon: Florida. No work, just play. It doesn't get any ... read more

We had such a great ride this past week! Filled with surprises, fun and friendship. Today, we had to watch those wonderful memories roll down the road heading out of town. We have to remind ourselves what Dr. Seuss said: Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. We are trying to plaster a big, griny smile on our faces but there is a little quiver to the lip. Breakfast today was at Guenter's Grill. Not as good as Denny's but the company was marvelous. We have known Sam & Sandy for just a few years but our close friendship makes it feel like a lifetime. We are so grateful to be able to call them "friends". Yesterday, we took it easy and hung out at Camp Shongo. Time to show Sam & Sandy the ... read more

We are chock-full, jam-packed and full to the brim. We are ready! Cory has packed, unpacked and repacked our trailer trying to find room for everything we want to take. He mumbles and mutters something each time I drag out another special item to add to our inventory. It doesn't sound like "oh, goodie!" Our RV is also packed full so we may have to sleep on the dash until we unload on Sunday. We leave this Saturday for our show in Brimfield, Massachusetts. This is a huge show: 5000 dealers on 20 fields which line Rt. 20 in the town of Brimfield. The dealers come from all across the USA and shoppers come from all over the world. The field we set up on is called The New England Motel field. I think there are ... read more

Houston, the eagle has landed! We made it home today, safe and sound and in one piece at 2:20 PM. Thank you, God. Of course, we still have some disconnected wires and a missing leveler but no bumps and bruises. Yahoooo. It's kind of cold and drab looking compared to the sunshine and bright lights of Florida but it is home: Home Sweet Home! ....and we are glad to be here. "There's No Place Like Home" rings so true. There are a few hints of Spring: a spot of green grass here and there, a couple tiny blue flowers peeping through the earth and yes, I even saw our first robin....it was dead: frozen to death until it turned black (just kidding). Spring is beginning to spring...but it hasn't quite sprung yet. It was a tough ... read more
