A Real Hero..... http://www.myrandomviews.com/blog/2015/12/7/a-real-hero

I love puns and one liners. I love blurting them out...regardless of those in hearing range around me want to hear them or not. http://www.myrandomviews.com/blog/punsandoneliners

My Grand Daughter Brooklyn and some cupcakes! http://www.myrandomviews.com/blog/brookiestea

Today I would liked to have posted a blog about how much fun it has been since Diane and I retired. I wanted to tell you about our adventures in the coach, describe all the new sites we have seen etc.. http://www.myrandomviews.com/blog/2015/7/10/the-human-whisperer

My coach is showing some age as well, then again I am showing some age, not much though. The coach has a blinker problem and needs some body work done. We put it in the shop this morning. As soon as it is out we hit the road for a long stretch of time and soon we hope to sell our stick house and hit the road full time for a year or more. Nice to see you back on the blogs. You probably noticed I have moved to my own site...primarily so I could have a more upscale photography display, or to feed my own ego, or both.

Over the last ten years, Diane and I have learned, discovered, or otherwise stumbled upon a few things that have helped us during our adventures on the road. http://www.myrandomviews.com/blog/tipsandhints

More hopefully not useless, truisms! http://www.myrandomviews.com/blog/rulenumber4truisms

An opinion of the motorhoming lifestyle from an unlikely source. http://www.myrandomviews.com/blog/2015/5/29/a-different-perspective

You must be able to laugh, even if it kills you! http://www.myrandomviews.com/blog/2015/5/13/dont-forget-to-laugh

In case you missed it the first time when I wrote this years ago, you get to read it now (or again!) http://www.myrandomviews.com/blog/2015/5/12/ule-4-rules-for-owning-a-motor-coach-number-4-continued

The kids have grown up. They are doing other things now...working, raising kids, taking pictures, playing music..... http://www.myrandomviews.com/blog/2015/5/9/couch-cushion-fort-musical-interlude

Another lesson about my passion...Digital Photography. Its been awhile but take a look you might see something you like, or something that makes you just a bit hungry! http://www.myrandomviews.com/blog/2015/5/7/the-grocery-store-a-visual-exercise

You really need to post this in the forums instead of here as a blog entry. You will have more responses to your inquiry.

Welcome and hope you enjoy it here. Derrick "Gramps"

Now if you are starting out as a blogger, and you are a member here, why go to any other site? You would have to design and build your site most likely while FMCA.com already has that in place including photo hosting. If I have one complaint it is that Blogs does not have its own button on the navigation bar at the top of the home page. I think the pull-down causes some people to create a blog by accident when they wanted to post in these forums. I designed my own photo-blog site (am I now a photoblogger? or is that phoblogger?) www.myrandomviews.com after learning how to write something (that someone would like to read), post pictures (that someone would like to see) here for six years. My new site was a lot of work to put together before I could even post my first word or image. In other words...blogging at FMCA.com is a great place to get your creative feet wet.

Thanks a lot Dorothy.

Well folks, I have decided that the time has come for me to have my own photography and personal observation site. I will post randomly what I see and think about numerous subjects including motorhoming, faith, kids, who knows. I hope you will take a look. http://www.myrandomviews.com/ I have enjoyed my time blogging here at FMCA.com. It has been a good learning experience. If and when Diane and I retire and go full time, then you can expect to see more random entries here as well. Gramps

We also use a Smartphone as a hotspot. Works well enough to Chromecast to one of our TVs in the coach.

Fulltiming is more than just a "maybe". It is coming soon!

Actually I blogged about the time our love affair for Motorhoming started here: http://community.fmca.com/blog/62/entry-535-how-did-it-start-part-one/ http://community.fmca.com/blog/62/entry-536-how-did-it-start-part-two/ The affair is still going on. We are in our second coach and looking forward to full timing very soon. That should be a story! What love song? Well, one comes to mind right off the bat. Our coach is a Holiday Rambler and we named her Ramblin Rose:

Well, it is fun to keep a record, if not for others, for yourself.

Amen! I am not a camper either, I am a coacher or an RVer take your pick.
