Had we not reached our campsite in the dark last night, I could have shown a bit more what Ohio looks like. As it is, within about half an hour after paying for our campsite this morning, we were out of Ohio. I paid in the Bob Evans homestead museum which is right next to the first Bob Evans restaurant, and they said I had to at least get something from the restaurant so I could have bragging rights to having eaten at the first Bob Evans restaurant. I went in and got Mark a cinnamon roll and myself a cornmeal muffin, so there! Continue reading →

Fortunately, we didn’t have to drive as long today. This was fortunate because we had to load everything up again after several days of being able to spread out a bit. We stopped in briefly at the Workamper News office to thank them for the conference and then we tried to take a different route out of Heber Springs. Continue reading →

2nd Annual NRVIA Conference: Day 2

Posted on October 25, 2015 by Denise Fuller

This being Sunday, today began with Scripture reading and prayer. I just can’t get over the fact that Steve and Coop are so open about this organization being built on faith in God. How many organizations that aren’t specifically church related actually include God in the course of their business meetings? I admire them for doing this. Continue reading →

NRVIA training

Posted on October 23, 2015 by Denise Fuller

We had an opportunity to sleep in this morning which helped considerably when we went to the training this afternoon. The training ran from 1:00 to about 5:45 and it mostly covered stuff we had already learned about how to do an inspection report. There have been some improvements made to the template even since we did our mock inspections this summer, so it was good to see those. They also acknowledged some of the glitches I had been having trouble with when I did the reports from our mock inspections but didn’t seem to have fixes for those yet. Continue reading →

One problem with having to be somewhere at a certain time is that you don’t have time to really stop for pictures. Mark and I had a long push today to make it for the 2nd Annual NRVIA Conference which starts tomorrow. Actually, tomorrow is a training for me and the conference itself starts on Saturday. At least we get to stay in one place for a few nights, which is lovely. It means we get to take things out of the sinks and actually use them and bump out both slide outs so that the RV feels more spacious again. Continue reading →

This morning was the highlight of the whole day. We met a second cousin of mine, Andrea Brim, for breakfast. She suggested we meet at the restaurant on the top floor of IKEA. I hadn’t realized they had restaurants in IKEA stores, but it was a cafeteria style place where you could buy a plate full of breakfast for $1! Continue reading →

Odds and ends

I was told tonight that I need to post a new blog entry. I don’t have anything earthshaking to report, but here’s what’s been going on and why my posts have been a bit more sparse lately: Continue reading →

Reunion recap

Posted on July 30, 2015 by Denise Fuller

The day that Mom and I returned from Klamath Falls, I spent the night with my older sister Sherill, but I was too exhausted by the end of the day to write. Then yesterday I flew home and there was the long drive home and the reunion with Mark, so I didn’t get to write. So after my first day back at work, I’ve decided to do a recap of the highlights of my trip out west. Continue reading →

Death and life
