Central Florida—Checking Out The Rest of the State
Retired friends traveled the US in their 5th wheel for 9 years and settled in Sebring Florida. Reconnecting has been fun. The bonus is discovering Florida beyond Tampa/St. Pete. This time we arranged to meet at Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Florida. (Yes, there are still rolling fields of citrus in Florida—here they are.) […]
St. Pete Collard Greens Festival
Introduced to Collard Greens on a lovely day in St. Petersburg. We had never visited the Deuces area of St. Pete and learned about the ethnic/business history of the area at the same time being introduced in a delicious fun setting about the southern favorite Collard Greens. Sponsored in part by Publix, we even received […]
On The Road Ratatouille
EaGreat veggies with mimimal work. Found in frozen veggie section at several Walmarts. Great side with pan-roasted salmon or by itself for a quick lunch.

American Pine Nuts- did you know?
Cedar City, Utah —a one-night stop Very busy city and RV parks, could only book one night but boy did I learn a lot. Not as dangerous as Pamplona and the bulls, Not as quirky as the Cow Bingo in Cottage Grove, Oregon, but we are sorry to miss the Sheep Parade down the main […]
Still in Tucson—Exploring Environs
Waiting to get the windshield wiper linkage and motor fixed that was damaged in the Texas Ice Storm. However, we are enjoying our family time and with the rental car, checking out Patagonia, Tubac and Green Valley, Arizona. We purchased the Roasted and Salted Pecans at Green Valley Pecan Farm. Huge operation and acres of […]
RV in Tucson
Sprouts Market is right across the street from our RV park. Luv that store’s produce. The sign said “Sumo Mandarin”. I had to smile—they were big and even though on sale, the price for the mandarin orange pictured was $1.56 for 1. Yes, it was sweet; a tad less sweet than Cutie clementines; but we […]
Adventurous Covid Vacation & Thinking of Onions
Learning the intricacies of RV systems has been good for our brains. 3-week vacation coming to a close. End of the days after parking are always the best. (See photo re: Lake Marion) Lots of time to contemplate recipes ahead while Roy is driving on I95 and not much navigation required by the nervous navigator. […]
Staying in Place and Garden Ravioli
Lake Jordan State Park is a beautifully wooded, spacious camping location for staying 4 nites. No wonder it’s so popular—senior rate for site with electric/water is $27.00. So lest anyone think that RV’ing does not include daily exercise, I report our 3.5 mile walks the last 2 days and a photo of Roy’s inventive use […]
