Erika hurt her back when she slipped on the stairs at their place. Within a few days Justin called us to see if we could come back to California to help Erika with the kids. A major plus of our full time nomadic lifestyle has been the flexibility to spend quality time with our grandkids… Continue reading Do We Stay? or Do We Go?

Desperate Times; Desperate Measures
Covid-19 “Stay at Home” orders are prevalent throughout much of the country. Therefore, most hair salons are now closed. SO today we bought a set of hair clippers and scissors. We watched a couple YouTube videos, and then “jumped in”. I did Barry’s hair starting with the #4 attachment. It was a little scary for… Continue reading Desperate Times; Desperate Measures
Pools Are Closed – Surviving Yuma Heat
Now that we have extended our stay in Yuma at Fortuna De Oro for the month of April, and realize we are likely to remain for the month of May as well, surviving the upcoming heat became a concern. Typically we would “live” at one of the resort pools, but they are closed due to… Continue reading Pools Are Closed – Surviving Yuma Heat
Covid-19 Stay at Home Order Affects Fortuna De Oro
We got the word Tuesday, March 31 late afternoon that all the outdoor equipment for PICKLEBALL, bocce ball, and shuffleboard was just taken from the sports complex areas, and put into storage.

Voyager Encore Resort Visit January 2020
We liked what Voyager Encore RV Resort had to offer when we came for 2 nights back in November, but the weather wasn’t conducive to much time outside.

Nov 25- A SUPER Rest Area- TX
Barry and I happened to make a quick stop at a fabulous “safety rest area” two days ago in Texas. We didn’t come across anymore as modern and spacious…till today. OMG! Today’s rest stop even surpassed that first one! It is easily accessed off I-10 eastbound, Exit 814. Talk about a true roadside rest! So… Continue reading Nov 25- A SUPER Rest Area- TX
7-20-19: Our own lease site @ Pio Pico Thousand Trails
Barry and I have been very impressed with how the sales office and management worked to get everything done to make site E53 a great site for us! They started on 6/30/19 by actually digging out the site more to make it longer and leveled it a bit. They also trimmed both of our wonderful… Continue reading 7-20-19: Our own lease site @ Pio Pico Thousand Trails
7-4-19: 4th of July @ Pio Pico
We really weren’t expecting much for the 4th of July celebration at Pio Pico. They started the day with a parade. Oh, my! So many bike participants! Even Don & Barry participated! I let Don ride my bike. He was as happy as the other kids riding. 🙂 Jo & I just didn’t seem to… Continue reading 7-4-19: 4th of July @ Pio Pico
