It’s been a couple of weeks now since we finished our week-long education at the TechnoGeek Rally we attended in Bushnell. We are still a little amazed by it all. Most of us RVers are a way more into computers, email and technology than our stick-house bound friends and relatives because technology makes communicating with friends, family…

Nobody Home?
We’re friendly folk Marilyn and I, we’ve been here at Jonathan Dickinson State Park since last Friday and we’ve met a lot of the people around here. Of course we’ve met our neighbors (the folks next door to us summer near Barrie, less than 100 miles away from us) and some of the staff and a bunch of the volunteer hosts…
Gluten Free Chat
Last night, while enjoying another delicious gluten-free dinner with Dale and Sheila the conversation got around to the differences we notice as we decrease the gluten in our diet. The Ducarmes have been off the gluten for three or four weeks now while we are just a few days away from 4 months. So while…
Florida Mountain Climbers
Today we report from high atop southern Florida’s highest natural point. We are here to share with you the amazing view from this almost nose-bleed altitude. In this picture our camera (actually it’s my smart phone) is gazing off to the northeast. You can see the Intercoastal Waterway and then beyond, the Atlantic Ocean. You can also see…
Hit The Road, Jack
That’s us, up in the top left of the map. I’m standing right next to the green flag waving at you. Our voyage today involves travelling 197 miles south-east across central Florida to Jonathan Dickinson State Park near Hobe Sound. That’s where you see the checkered flag. Our GPS says the process will take three hours and…
Cookin’ With The Vanstones
As you’ll recall, last August we decided we were going to kick gluten and see if that helped Marilyn’s skin rash. As time goes on, and it appears we are on to something and we burrow further and further into eating no gluten we seem to be eating out a lot less often. Even going out for wings…
Shining Up For Santa
This all started yesterday morning when Angel and Buster each got a bath. Then Angel got her Christmas haircut. This morning was Buster’s turn. After trimming Buster so he’ll look good for the big guy Marilyn moved on to shampooing the carpet while I worked on polishing the coach exterior. Tomorrow we get ready to hit the road…
I Got It Up
I used to put videos on my blog all the time but the last couple of years, not so much. But now that I’m so much more geekish I figured I’d better get back into it, so here’s the first of hopefully many more. I shot the video on my smartphone last night while we…
KeyRing
We talked the other day about an app we had learned about called LastPass. Here’s another you might like to use on your smart phone or tablet. It seems that other than Wal-Mart all the major retailers in the US and Canada use loyalty cards to develop brand loyalty. When we get down here we …
