Lake Wales, FL – Mar 2024

March 29, 2024

Absolutely amazing how another month has simply come and gone.  Despite my thinking that I hadn’t accomplished much this month, when I looked back at my picture library to create the collages, I discovered that I had actually achieved quite a bit.  Lots of visits with friends and family, some community fun, got closure on […]

Lake Wales, FL – Feb 2024

Between my four brothers and I, we made up 25% of the squares in my niece Rachel’s football pool. The odds were heavily in our favor that at least one of us would win some portion of the prize money. While there were nail biters in each and every quarter, with many of us having […]

Lake Wales, FL – Jan 2024

January 30, 2024

Well, to say that the weather here in Florida has been great would be a huge misstatement.  The fact is, the weather has been miserable for the past couple of months.  Cold with lots of rain has been the norm, with just a few teasing days of sunny warm temperatures.  Oh well, I guess it’s […]

Lake Wales, FL – Dec 2023

December 30, 2023

It’s great to be back at my Florida home base for the holidays.  I’ll do Portal video calls with the kids and grands to celebrate Christmas, and no doubt there will be lots of festive activities to partake in here in the Saddlebag community.  I’m settling in nicely now that I’m here – starting to […]

Wow – this write up represents my 100th blog post here on Luv2RV! I published my first post back on Apr 29, 2018, where I introduced this website and indicated I would be journaling and publishing my travels here for friends and family. Well, as I wrap up my 6th year as a full time […]

MD, VA – Nov 2023

November 2, 2023

It’s all about the kids and grands!  I did absolutely zero sightseeing during my 10-day stay in MD.  Rather, I spent the time visiting with my daughters and grandkids, and visiting with friends.  I even reconnected with a former foster child who lived with us for several months some 20+ years ago.   My stay […]

NY, NH – Oct 2023

October 17, 2023

Welcome to fall in New England!  It’s early Oct and the leaves are changing.  I took this picture in Milford, NH from the Swing Bridge that crosses the Souhegan River.  This is a pretty typical picturesque NH tree-lined babbling brook – one of many in the state.  It’s been a little over two years since […]

The beautiful Veterans Glass City Bridge, so named in honor of Toledo’s heritage in the glass making industry, spans 8,800 feet across the Maumee River. Behind the glass inlays running on all four sides of the center pylon are hundreds of LED lights that can produce light shows of over 16 million colors, visible for […]

IL, IN – Sep 2023

September 10, 2023

I think I set a new personal record by visiting 24 Roadside America sites in two days – 16 of them in a single day.  When you’ve only got a couple of tourist days in a particular stop, you have to suck it up and get out there to see what you can.  My normal […]

NE, IA – Aug 2023

August 26, 2023

So I’ve traded the majestic mountains and canyons of UT and WY for the magnificent rolling hills and never ending fields of corn in NE and IA. Also present in these fields are rows upon rows of wind turbines spinning to the prairie breeze to generate fossil-free energy.  The mix of the traditional farms with […]
