This morning we left Webster, FL to travel for about the next 6 or more months - something we look forward to each Spring since we have been full time RVer's. We are excited about the future months because we have many exciting plans, and we leave our winter domicile with many memories of the last season. For the next couple of weeks we will be in a caravan of three motorhomes with friends, and we hope you will enjoy and make comments along the way!
We enjoy many sunsets looking out over a ranch that encompasses hundreds of acres. Our neighbors are certified angus cattle for the most part, but our favorite is a Welsh pony that has become special and visits several times a day.
Toby, as we call him, has learned how to work the system. He usually goes up and down the fence that separates our property from the ranch and we all feed him....carrots, apples, and he adores peppermints. Toby has the best smelling breath in his neighborhood. We'll miss our view, the sunsets, and yesterday we spotted a bald eagle in the field for the first time in several years. OK, take my word for it, it was a bald eagle a thousand feet away!
Today RV and I travelled to west Florida to stay overnight at the Triple C Campground, in Chattahoochee, Florida. All I remember about Chattahoochee is a comment my mother used to occasionally make. She would tell my brother and I we were going to "send her to Chattahoochee"! I didn't realize it was the location of the State Mental Hospital, a very large hospital for severely and persistent major mental illnesses. I didn't have a clue what she was talking about, but it wasn't a good thing! By the way the Chattahoochee State Mental Hospital was the only State mental institution in business from 1876 to 1947, and currently has the capacity of over 1042 beds.
We'll look forward to sharing some of our unique destinations. Many of the places we'll be stopping will be for Attitude Adjustment Painting Seminars, possibly more art therapy on the road. I promise they will leave you shaking your head, maybe laughing, but always enjoying what is over the next hill. Hope you will subscribe to our page if you might be interested in following our adventures.

FMCA 92nd International Family Reunion and Motorhome Showcase Rally -Alliant Center - Madison, WI
On July 27 we arrived in Madison, Wisconsin to attend the Family Motor Coach Association's 92nd Family Reunion and Motorhome Showcase Rally at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, WI, with an assortment of over 1,600 motorhomes. Upon arrival, the impression one gets is organized chaos, but through the experienced help of the FMCA organization headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, hundreds of volunteers from FMCA chapters throughout the U.S., and hundreds of commercial vendors in the RV industry, a four day packed program took place for thousands of people from all over the U.S. and Canada.
If you ever have an opportunity to visit Madison, the State Capitol of Wisconsin, there are so many activities to do and see. Madison is the second largest city in Wisconsin, located in the south central part of the state is surrounded by 4 lakes. The beautiful State Capitol, we were told, is the tallest capitol in the United States with the exception of The U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. Along with the University of Wisconsin facilities and the various government buildings, the city is always filled with activity, and I might add, many people riding bicycles in the streets as well as miles of trails.
We were busy during the Rally with our own organizational activity as well as finding an orthopedic doctor to examine the progress of my wrist injury. In May, after we accepted the opportunity to present my class, we began planning our trip to Madison. For several years, I've presented Attitude Adjustment - it's FUN art, not FINE art, at the Florida Grande Motorcoach Resort, Webster, FL, and will also be offering it at the Spring FMCA Rally at the Georgia State Fairgrounds in Perry, GA. in March, 2016. According to the students, the classes were most enjoyable. RV was our class photographer - I couldn't have done it without him!!
We had several side trips and my next blog is very exciting to me as we visited the original headquarters of The Ringling Brothers Circus in Baraboo, WI. Step right up, folks! Wow, I'm still getting over that one....it was AMAZING!!!
