Top Ten List






Darwin & I have come up with the top ten list for camping in an RV not a Tent.

10. Bears prefer canvas over fiberglass
9. No place to hang a spice rack inside the tent
8. Tents don't have cable/TV hookups
7. In an RV when hot - turn the AC on - when cold - turn the heat on
6. To take a shower you do not have to hike a half mile with your underwear in one hand and quarters in the other
5. You don't go broke buying ice, because it stays frozen forever in the freezer - beer & drinks are always at the perfect temp
4. Man's best friend (Baxter) prefers a carpet floor to sleep on - not the cold, damp ground
3. Lazy Boy recliners not webbed lawn chairs
2. After 3 inches of over night rain you still have a dry bed, clothes, food and you are not packing your bags and heading home
1. When nature calls in the middle of the night, you are only a few feet away from your own private throne

Back In Lac Du Flambeau





After spending a week with Dena & Matt in Maine and a week with Doug & Val in New York and a week in Hawaii - we are back home. All our trips were full of fun, laughs and great memories. The only problem we had was leaving Hawaii and getting to the mainland. We had to spend an extra day in Honolulu because our plane needed repairs before it could fly out. The good news was we had an extra day in Hawaii the bad news was we had to spend it in the airport. The weather in Hawaii was great and the pictures show the beauty of Maui.

Trip to Horseheads, NY






We had a great time visiting the kids and celebrating Eric's Birthday. We drove out to NY and had the back of the car filled with Doug's toys - riding tractor, all his farming implements, barn that Grandpa Pierret built and a bike. Eric is now an official farmer in Horseheads. Sophia is as pretty as a picture and we no longer call her TOK (the other kid). She also stole Grandpa Dar's heart. We even had time to built a sand box for the kids. What Fun...
