Hello out there! It's been a long time since I have posted to my blog! In fact, I thought it had been deleted! I attended the Newmar Kountry Klub International Rally where I reconnected with
The Geeks on Tour, and Chris Guld asked me a simple question... "Do you still have your blog?" I didn't know the answer, so I decided to find out. I went looking for my blog. It was there, but I couldn't seem to get into it. Interestingly enough, I thought it had been deleted, but in reality it was just hiding from me! After a nudge from the Geeks, I found it! As it turns out, I forgot that I had two Google Accounts! Long story short... it was still there. Since it was the start of our journey more than 4 years ago, I decided to go back to the beginning and continue the journey.
We have been primarily in the Orlando area, working at Disney and living in our MoHo. We actually acquired a smaller vehicle, which was appropriately dubbed "Little Mo" for a business that Geoff started, inspecting RVs, sort of like a home inspection for a Motor Home! Life is good and we continue to make it up as we go along.
Our first stop on the Rally trail was in Crozet, VA at
Misty Mountain RV Resort. Inspired by the recent RV pad we bought in Florida, we decided to collect treasured VA River Bottom Rock to complete a waterfall in out Florida garden. Like a scene out of "The Long, Long Trailer" we collected our rocks, (with the permission of our hosts,) and loaded it in out tow car. Needless to say, the Fit has smelled like a river bottom for the rest of the trip! I can't wait to get started on our waterfall!
After a visit to Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, and a round of golf, we moved on to a High School reunion back in Lynchburg, VA at Holy Cross Regional School. We parked up on the school parking lot and hosted the Pre- and Post-Reunion party for the Class of '73, officially marking the "Turning 60 Year." We were a graduating class of 38, small but mighty!

While in we made a side trip to Roanoke to meet my new Great-nephew, Gideon Whitt! Gideon is a happy little boy and a flight to meet. We're hoping to welcome him to "
the most magical place on earth" one of these days!
From Lynchburg we moved on to the Newmar Kountry Klub International Rally in Lewisburg, West Virginia. We had a blast catching up with friends we have met along the way, including our friends, the Geeks.
So I decided to see what I could create. I stopped in at Hobby Lobby and picked up a plastic basket. I turned it upside down and pasted a layer of hobby foam on the bottom. You could also use the skid proof shelf lining, but I thought this would be harder to clean. I trimmed the foam to fit into the ridge on the bottom of the basket and then glued it down. The final product was perfect! I put it on his dinner mat to prevent slipping on the tile floor, and presto! It was the perfect height and my little man seems to love it. Total cost, $7.95 ( I went for the high end basket) but I'm sure you can get one for $1 at the Dollar Store! Size the basket for your dog's height. This one is 5" tall, but you can find any size and accommodate your pet's favorite bowls.
