Not even sure where to start – WOW! The last two days have been spectacular and I am in awe at the BEAUTY of God’s creation!!!! We left Minnesota and drove all the way across South Dakota – it was straight and flat for hundreds of miles…. What looks like fog is SMOKE – from…

“it’s on the way!”….
The phrase “it’s on the way” has become one of my favorites! I am blessed to be part of a zoom prayer group of moms whose kids are in the Navy and served on the USS Roosevelt at the same time Andrew did when he was deployed – we have been “meeting” on zoom for…
first stop…EMILY!
Well…we are officially on our way to California with our Airstream! We left Pittsburgh, and it was weird to think that we wouldn’t pull back in our driveway until the end of August! WOW! Our first stop was to see our daughter Emily, and her boyfriend Kramer – we had not seen them since the…
And the journey begins….
Well, it’s hard to believe it’s May and we are getting the trailer out of storage to begin our second annual trip across the country to see our kids in California!!!!! We flew to Florida last week (yes, i got on an airplane!) and loaded up the trailer to head back here to PIttsburgh –…
First trip of 2023!
Hello again everyone!!! Well, it’s 2023 and we just went on our first camping trip of the season with our Airstream! It is Spring Break for Leonard at Pitt, so we flew down to Tampa and got the trailer out of winter storage and headed over to St. Augustine for five days! We went with…
Done for the winter!

ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
Well, it’s time to get the Airstream out of storage and head out on a short camping adventure! We sure have missed it, especially since we were in it for about 5 weeks this summer! Driving it to the storage facility to “put it up” for a while was really sad – ha-ha! We said…
TEN THINGS WE LEARNED ON OUR JOURNEY WITH OUR “YELLOW SUBMARINE”
1. THERE IS A LOT TO PREPARE FOR! I have always been thankful to be married to an engineer because Leonard is thorough and is a planner…but there have been times in our marriage where it has been a HUGE benefit! – the sudden death of my uncle years ago, where we had to make…
HEADING HOME…
It’s hard to believe this is the last part of our adventure across the country– stopping in Branson, Missouri and then on to Alexandria, Indiana to see Emily !! We spent two days in Branson, and enjoyed the campground and the time to rest for a bit – the two highlights of Branson were a…
FARMINGTON, PART 2!
On one of our USS TR calls, Carol had told us that she was thinking of having a ceremony to honor our sons and all of those who were or still are part of the Theodore Roosevelt – we thought it was a GREAT idea, and were just planning to go to a military memorial…
