February 26, 2020 (by Angela) Since going full-time in the RV and through the spring of 2018, most all of Jim’s work contracts had been where we could move to a campground near the hospital for which he was working. The client then paid our site rent and utilities rather than the much higher cost…

Texas Wrap Up – For Now

January 23, 2020 (by Angela) There’s an old saying that whatever one does on New Year’s Day is what one will do all year long. In our case, I hope that’s true because we were traveling on New Year’s Day. Jim, Leroy, and I loaded up and moved out of the campground we had called…
