Yeah! I’m on the road again! Currently in VA, just a couple days short of landing in MD where I’ll spend the next four months. It’s been wonderful being mobile again, and thus far (knock on wood) the mechanics of the trip have been uneventful. Since leaving my home base in FL in mid Apr, […]

I really hate being redundant, but once again, another month has ticked away here in sunny Florida. I don’t know if it’s the fact that I’m retired, or that I try to stay somewhat active and engaged, or simply just the wonderful warmth of the Florida sun that makes the time fly by so fast. […]

As my brother so correctly pointed out, this travel blog has sort of become more of a Lake Wales Home Base blog, rather than a travel blog. But given the circumstances, there’s not a whole lot I can do. Still way too much virus going around, and most places to visit have limited attendance. I […]

A new month, in a new year has arrived. Difficult to believe that another month has passed, but so goes the time. It was a crazy month, filled with highs and lows, and also marked the arrival of the Florida citrus season. All the orange groves around us are now filled with bright orange fruit. […]

I had a great November, complete with more family visits, more progress on projects, and a special treat catching up with my daughter, son-in-law, and […]

Another month has come and gone here in Lake Wales, FL. It’s been a busy month as usual, with continuation […]

Well, another month has come and gone and I continue to thoroughly enjoy my time here at the Home Base. The weather is just now starting to cool down a bit, so I know beautiful outdoor weather will soon be upon us. I can’t wait! During this past month I have done some visiting, and […]

Well, I’ve been here at the new Home Base for just about three weeks now. I’m not fully settled in, but I’m certainly making great progress. I’ve repurchased many of the things I had gotten rid of when I sold my house over five years ago – like a lawn mower, edger, blower, and an […]

It has been a wonderful 4 weeks here in Boerne, TX visiting with a long lost friend and playing tourist (well, as much as possible given this pandemic). As has been the case pretty much throughout my nomadic journey thus far, time seems to fly by while I’m having fun. But alas, my time here […]
