Bowling Green, Kentucky

Today Tom and I explored Bowling Green, Kentucky.  Although we have driven by Bowling Green many times, especially when we lived in Nashville, I had not been to Bowling Green since a speech contest at Western Kentucky University when I was in college.  I think it has probably changed some in the last 35 years, …

Internet Access

When people hear we are on the road full-time, they often ask us what we are doing for internet access. Obviously we have it, because I am able to post my blog almost every day. But internet access on the road has its own trade-offs. Our primary method of internet access is making our smart …

Recently – I can’t tell you when because there have been so many churches in the last three months – we were worshipping on a Sunday and the pastor at the church read a prayer and thanked God for God’s plenty.  I was instantly distracted from the rest of the prayer by this one simple, …

Lenawee County Fairgrounds

While we were in Adrian, we stayed at the Lenawee County Fairgrounds (the county name is pronounced lon’-a-way).  I wouldn’t normally consider the Fairgrounds as a place to stay when RVing, but most Fairgrounds have spots for RVs at a relatively inexpensive price.  Fairgrounds aren’t the most scenic places to stay, but it has been …

Waterloo State Recreation Area

Before we came to Adrian to work with Habitat, we stayed for five days at Waterloo State Recreation Area near Chelsea, Michigan.  This is a beautiful area with dozens of small lakes – a fisher’s paradise!  Waterloo State Recreation Area is spread out over 20,000 acres.  We camped at Portage Lake Modern Campground, which means …
