On The Road Again

We are finally on the way! The departure on our "Niagara Falls" trip had a few delays, at least two weeks worth.  From transmission to toilet, from water faucet to water pump, the motorhome repairs and requirements had accumulated beyond our estimation during our hiatus of more than a year.  But thanks to lots of generous help from Tim, we are on the road again.

First stop...just 100 miles north in Fort Wayne, IN, at the Johnny Appleseed Campground where we met up with two special rving friends, Chuck and Jan Moore.
 We've been enjoying some lively and fun catching-up conversations.  And today we hung out at the Allen County Genealogy Library sharing a pastime that we have in common, family history research.  The resources are outstanding here.

One of the highlights of our library visit today was finding the published version of Jerry's Indianapolis Firefighters Roster on the shelves. He put this historical database together from various information collected over the years and donated the information so that others could have access through the genealogy library. They published his work online and in printed version.  We have a published author in the family!

All in all, our rving restart is going very well.  We are recalling how everything works, where to put what and which buttons to push.  Having Jan and Chuck to chat with as we get back into the routines has been a bonus.
