Products to Keep Furbabies Happy When Traveling
If traveling is part of your current lifestyle or you plan to travel, be aware caring for dogs is a commitment of love and requires daily effort. We have an entire cupboard dedicated to doggy essentials, under the sink are the grooming products, and in the outside compartments of our RV, space is dedicated to a dog pen, rug, and baskets for them to ride in on our bicycles. Pets are not inanimate objects like stuffed animals to be thrown into the rig; they are members of the family and need constant love and attention.

The First Day of Our Trip Across the US
When we started packing the motorhome, our dogs shook from head to toe with excitement; my stomach churned with apprehension. They sensed the future held an adventure; I questioned the wisdom of leaving home for three months. Though our dogs responded differently as we packed the motorhome, the body language of each reflected my emotions.

Iowa, Amana Colonies: Traveling in the Present and Learning About the Past
Our visit to The Amana Colonies required we learn the historical and cultural background of the settlers for full appreciation. Until we gathered some knowledge, we only possessed a naïve comprehension of the dedication of the early residents.

The Challenges of Peeing at Night
When we are in our brick and mortar home, caring for the dogs is easy. We have a doggy door, and they take care of their own needs. However, a comedy of errors occurred last night that made me giggle and rethink my system when the pups need to go outside in the middle of the night.

Never Allow Age to Stop Adventures or Slow the Journey
We left the city of trees in Idaho and headed east. We have traveled many miles during our 42 years of married life but have never veered this far east. This journey has always been our bucket list trip. We are going to Maine and everywhere in between and then head back to Boise via a different route.

It’s Ok to Split a Meal
When my husband and I first married, we relished any menu that advertised all you can eat. Youth coupled with a life of high activity allowed us to consume not only everything on our plate but encouraged second, or third, helpings. Not only did we love the choices and flavors but weight never posed a problem.

Share the Solitude And Make New Friends to Enrich Life's Journey
Traveling can easily become an isolated adventure because many of us are desiring to get away from the stress, abandon the daily expectations, and forget the worries that we cannot fix. However, by making the effort to meet new people, the adventure takes on a new dimension.

Minden, Nebraska - Pioneer Village
Drive the 13 miles out of your way to visit Pioneer Village in Minden, Nebraska to go back in time. There was a day that the interstate drove past this hidden gem and visitors were plentiful. Because a bypass directed traffic on a different path, many have never discovered the wealth this museum has to offer.

Passport America Saves Money on the Road
When my sister-in-law told me about Passport America, my promise was to look into it, but I procrastinated thinking I didn't need another subscription. I already had AARP, Good Sam, AAA, and Harvest Host. One year later when I started planning our trip across the US, I finally investigated what it had to offer. That's when I determined it is the best money saver for travelers that I have ever found. And it has several other resources that make it an essential to our travel planning.

Cheyenne, Wyoming Highlight - Terry Bison RanchTop Story - August 2023
If you are driving through Wyoming, Terry Bison Ranch is a must do. Visitor are allowed to roam the ranch and enjoy the environment at their own pace. The best way to share this experience is through pictures so that is what I will do accompanied by short commentaries. We stayed in the RV park and there is no addition fee to explore the area unless you wish to partake in the bison tour.

Dagney’s Picture Dictionary of Slang
Hello, my name is Dagney. We’ve probably met before because Mom writes stories about me all the time. She never asked permission, but what can I say. Really, what can I say? I barked, grunted, and turned away at first, but eventually learned it is easier to just pose for the pictures. If I am to be honest, I like the attention.
