We are back on the road for a bit this summer. We’ve wandered from our home in New York State to Michigan (where I grew up) and eventually Wisconsin (where Jim grew up). There is a new Meme here in…
Almost Home
Where have we been the past 10 days? Flying (low in the RV) across the country to get home in time to move a daughter home from college next week! We’ve logged a lot of miles during those 10 days,…
