I was so excited to meet up with Lynne and Eric Ogren – my best friends from Oak Harbor. Barry and I had an incredible visit with them when they lived in Wrangell, Alaska. A few years later when we retired and became full-time RVers, they were our first planned stop in Lewistown, Montana, which… Continue reading Multnomah Falls and 115 Degree Temp w/Best Friends

Unexpected Set Backs
A couple of medical issues provided a bit of drama, not to mention a bit of a scare as we were starting our summer adventures… Sorry–no real pictures to accompany most of this blog entry. I think you’ll understand why. This is also why it has been so important to us that we BOTH are… Continue reading Unexpected Set Backs

A Special Day Trip to Phoenix
March 31, 2021, Barry and I headed to Glendale, AZ (Phoenix area). This was a special day trip for me. Karen invited us over because Montana’s son, Todd (Slack) Dennis and his wife Sarissa would be there that day from Ohio. I have not seen Todd since he was a baby! When Todd’s mom, Carol,… Continue reading A Special Day Trip to Phoenix
