Well, even in downtown Richmond wildlife can be found!Over the past 13 years we have marveled over the Eagles that are on the James River. Last summer Dominion Power had a helicopter, dropping workers onto the power tower and they installed the brass (I think brass) spikes to keep the birds off the towers! Well, Dominion is not as smart as the Eagles; they still land in the middle! 🤣Moving/Sale update:Packing has started and the condo looks like a war zone! Movers come on the 3rd! Good thing, buyer has purchased all furniture! All we need to move are…

While in Richmond to complete the sale of the Condo, we bought the new truck so we are all set when the 25’ Airstream arrives! We purchased a Ford F-250 Lariat!

Not to bore you with the details, the Tundra was tapped out with our current 20’ Airstream. There is a distinct difference between “payload” and “towing capacity”.

We felt like we were on safari, hunting every one of them! We spent 2 days, 3-4 hours each day and we went to every single one!The collection includes camels, sloths, llamas, wild horses, sabre tooth tigers, mammoths, giant birds, wild pigs, sheep, tortoises and the famous dragon as well as many more!This all began in 2006 when the owner of the Galleta Meadows Estate, Dennis Avery, decided he really wanted…

Today we prepared for our Christmas. If you know Carol “Christmas is her favorite time of year”! Carol’s birthday is Christmas Day so there is double joy! We spent the Christmas Eve morning shopping at our little local store and because it was cloudy, we polished the outside of the Airstream! Every year at home, we make an enormous amount of Christmas cookies. We had to try to make them in the Airstream. It has been a challenge because we only have a convection oven in the microwave....but where there is a will there is a way! We…
