The first movie that came to mind about the Mississippi River is Huckelberry Finn. It takes place on the river in MO. We were at the top of the river near its source. I know I have written about my fascination with the river so I really wanted to visit this park. We were parked […]
The most obvious movie for me for these few days is Blues Brothers. While we do not have a homicidal maniac on the loose, sheriffs after us of Nazis that I know of at the concert, the music was wonderful. I really have always enjoyed that movie and the music. There was some rain while […]
I think this year the posts will have a movie theme. The first movie that popped into my mind when I wrote Nine Days in Wisconsin was Seven Years in Tibet. I really enjoyed that movie for many reasons. First off, a young Brad Pitt is not hard to look at in this movie. Brad’s […]
About thirty years ago there was a movie with Billy Crystal and Debra Winger called Forget Paris. The plot of the movie was two people meet in Paris, fall in love and get married. Then they move back to the US and nothing compares to Paris. They struggle to make a marriage until the wife […]
I hope you are not wondering if we were washed away by the rain storm on June 19th in WI. If you were I apologize for my neglect, obviously we survived. The last month has been a bit crazy. Ever since we have been RV’ing we have thought the house was too big for us. […]

Yesterday we drove from South Carolina to Kentucky. On the way we stopped to eat and when we pulled into the lot, we realized we were in the same lot where we used the laundry at the beginning of our trip. This campground is very nice. It has 260 spaces, playgrounds, pool, tennis court, basketball […]
A lot has happened in the last week, some expected, some unexpected, some happy and some sad. CALHHOUN FALLS STATE PARK We arrived five days ago on Saturday to Calhoun Falls State Park. It is a beautiful park, but spoiler alert, there are no water falls and no one could tell me why the town […]

At the last one, Huntington State Park it was the ocean. We could walk to the ocean and there was a historic building to tour and one of […]
