Nashville Tennessee – New Year’s Eve Concert – Keith Urban

Sorry, but we have been moving so fast and doing so much that I haven’t had time to keep posting.  I am going to start where we are today and hopefully work backwards to fill in the gaps.  Just starting to get ourselves sorted and enjoy being here. Yesterday we drove down from Caves City …

Kentucky – Jim Beam Distillery

This one is for Raymond Lawn.  Sorry it wasn’t the Wild Turkey distillery – this was an hour away. Dropped in on the Jim Beam Distillery on the way to the Mammoth Caves area of Kentucky.  We were lucky and managed to get a tour without a reservation after initially being told none were available …

Wabash Indiana – Picking up the caravan

Lucy is here.  We had a bit of a run around between customs and quarantine but Lucy was fine and very pleased to see us.  Again the customs officer was in total disbelief that we were staying 12 months.  He had to check the visa to confirm. After a sleep (she was a bit jet …

We Bought a Truck

Success at last.  After weeks of trying to get quotes I have finally found our truck. Earlier in the year I was told not to order before September, so I got some quotes from dealers in Oregon and was satisfied that they would confirm new pricing in September and order my truck. Then we decided …
