We got back last Friday evening, this is Thursday morning: We’ve been parked here at Sicard RV for 5 days and I’ve worked 4 of them. I’m happy to report that inspite of all the news about how tough things are in this world, the RV business is alive and well in Smithville. Everywhere…

Almost Home
??? That’s Marilyn and the dogs looking over their domain at site 11, our summer home for the last two years and this year too at 50 Point Conservation Area in Hamilton. The park opens Friday and we will certainly be there early that day. Until then it’s free camping at Camp Sicard. Notice our…
Damn! Did We Ever Do Good
It’s either that or: Inspite of us they all turned out great! We haven’t seen the Toronto kids since early October, 2010. It’s been a long, long time but today was the day. As we were on our way home from a great day catching up with them all we both agreed that we…
The Other Reality
We arrived in the Grimbsy area Friday afternoon at about 5:30 and headed for a few days camping at “Camp Sicard”, where I work (hard I might add) in the summers. Despite the cold and the snow it feels good to be back. By the time we get the motor home parked and plugged in…

While we were never personally in any danger, we will not forget that night any time soon. Last night, once again in Central Kentucky, what started out to be a…
Our Sweet Ride
Yesterday, while still on the Natchez Trace Parkway, I finally got a chance to grab a picture of our newly painted truck and our casa rodante together and both relatively clean. What do you think? Cool eh? Speaking of cool, in this shot we are rolling north up the aforementioned parkway, as George says, a very…
They Said Slow
We are at Powdermill Hill RV Park and Chapel near Laurenceburg Tennessee for the night. we have just spent two great days travelling the Natchez Trace Parkway towards Nashville. We chose this park for their internet, which is crap. We’ve been informed that they are having a prayer meeting tonight and I’m hoping their wi-fi will be better…
Flood Warning
That’s a really heavy plastic sheet covering sewer inspection manholes throughout the park. You can see the Mississippi River in the back ground. They tell us the river is rising. they tell us it will reach flood stage by Thursday morning, about 4 days from now, and will peak about a week later. I’m sorry we…
