In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Abita Springs Opry

We stuck around home base today and I did some routine maintenance on Home Sweet Home. This evening we went to the Abita Springs Opry. The first two groups were OK, the second two were great. One was a zydeco band and the last was a gospel harmonizers. We really enjoyed them. One of the zydeco players had a rippled metal shield on his chest (like a washboard) and he ran two sticks up and down it, never seen one before. Can't say I understood many words in their songs because of the Cajun accent but we really enjoyed them. The gospel group also had the place rocking. It was a real gospel group because the lead singer had to open a Baptist hymnal for the words to one song as he said the had so many he couldn't remember the words to all the songs. Speaking of Cajun accent, it's interesting listening to some of the locals down here.
It's getting COLD. 33 or 34 tonight, only very low 60s today. Hi of 58 Sunday. Damn.
