* New Trailer at Sandy Pines

This summer has been busy at our Sandy Pines lake home. We decided to update the trailer and porch for our summer place. Since May we have been working to have all looking new and fresh. We thought you might like to see how the park model trailers are taken out and new ones put in. The following Smilebox shows some of what took three days to accomplish.

Spring Beach Trip 2011


Spring Beach Trip 2011
In late March, after a 'long' winter, we set off to spend time on the beaches of Georgia and South Carolina. Norene was ready for the sun and heat. During the trip we visit three of our kids and the grandkids. We had quite an exciting time during the two months. Everything from quiet beaches to large storms. As you can see Mike is packed, loaded and walking off into the ocean. Where does he think he is going?

Our 2010 Fall Trip West

Fall 2010 Balloon & Music Trip
This fall we decided to take the T@B west for the first time. We will visit Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona before we head back home.

During our first week out we experienced some wild storms in Nebraska and Kansas. So much so Norene thought we needed to get a little black dog and some ruby red slippers to make sure we could get home. On this trip we will be attending the Winfield Flat Picking Festival & Championships in Winfield, KS; the first New Mexico Dulcimer festival in Albuquerque, NM; the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, then visiting family and friends in Arizona.

Watch this Smilebox to see how our first week went.

* Some Views of New Mexico


Fall 2010 Balloon & Music Trip
While in New Mexico we saw things that we would like to share with you. Enjoy the Albuquerque house tour, the Sandia Mountain, and plants of the desert. The night view (last in this Smilebox) of the Albuquerque valley with a rising moon is one of our favorites.

* Oklahoma & Texas Parks

Fall 2010 Balloon & Music Trip

On our way to and from the southwest we stayed in Oklahoma and Texas at two most interesting and beautiful parks. Foass State Park in Western Oklahoma was the most restful place to stay with thousands of acres of prairie and water. We needed the calm after the two big storms we were in during our stays in Nebraska and Kansas.
In western Texas we found a large area of sand dunes just like those on Lake Michigan. We knew west Texas had oil but never knew they had sand dunes. This was a great place to camp in October. I don't think we would stay there in August.
