With all the moving and serivce, Tom and I are being deliberate about taking time to explore parks and take walks. In the midst of everything else, we took a couple of hours off one afternoon to explore Sharon Woods Metro Park. Sharon Woods Metro Park is part of the Central Ohio Park system. It …

Parade of Service People at Our New House
The first thing Tom and I wanted to do when we moved in to our new house was make sure everything was working properly and was safe. This led to a parade of service people coming in and out of the house during our first week. We closed on the house on Friday and moved …
Furniture: An Unexpected Necessity
When you buy an RV, you buy a “house” full of furniture. RVs come fully equipped. But, the same cannot be said when you buy a house. Sometimes homes come furnished, but the one that Tom and I bought did not have any furniture in it. And we no longer owned any furniture. So, how …
Moving Out of Our Fifth Wheel
After calling it “home, sweet home” for six years, Tom and I spent Sunday moving out of our New Horizons 5th wheel and into our house. It was a little bit sad, but we have good reasons for moving out of the 5th wheel and moving into a house at this time. The two biggest …
Moving John and Jackie into New House
Back to our moving service. In the same week Tom and I were doing yard work at John and Jackie’s new house, we were also helping them move. Their new house is only five miles from their old one, but whether you move five miles or 500, you still have to move all your stuff. …
PODS Moving and Storage Company
Tom and I moved out of our house in April, 2014. We sold or gave away most of the stuff in the house that wouldn’t fit in the RV. But there were some things too precious to part with: books, toys, mementos. John and Jackie graciously agreed to give us some space in their basement …
Landscaping Service by Tom and Karen
Tom and I should start a landscaping service in addition to our moving service. We have spent quite a bit of time working on other people’s landscaping in the last month. Our first call when we got to Ohio was from John and Jackie. They had just entered into contract on a new house and …
Moving Service by Tom and Karen
Tom and I should open a moving service company. We have helped so many people move over the years! I don’t think we have a single good friend or family member who we haven’t helped move. I am an expert at packing boxes and Tom is an expert at packing them into a truck for …
Face Masks: Finding a Comfortable Fit
A year ago I never imagined I would write a blog post on face masks. But, times have changed and our behavior has changed as well. Face masks are a fact of life, at least for a while. I understand the necessity of the masks and fully support wearing them whenever I am indoors or …
Ash Cave in Hocking Hills State Park
As we continued our adventure day in Hocking Hills, we visited Ash Cave, the largest recess cave in Ohio. Ash Cave is at the southern end of Hocking Hills State Park, which put it close to Lake Hope State Park. To reach the cave, you walk through a narrow gorge lined with hemlock, beech, oak, …
