Camping, Why Now?

Camping, Why Now?

Why camping in later years? That is an interesting question.  Exercise, especially simple walking, is easier to accomplish. At home there are always a million things to do and it is so easy to simply not take the time. It’s that simple. however when away from home it is much easier to make this a […]

Walk, Walk, Walk!

Whether out and about traveling or at home we all know we have to move. Our bodies work on a move it or lose it basis. However, one of the least appreciated forms of exercise is simply walking. Inside on a treadmill, with a walking video, around your coffee table or walk outside which takes […]

On The Road Again.

On The Road Again.

This weekend we are once again checking out. Giving Yurtle a once over checking for air conditioning, the generator, the TV, radio, and everything else we could think of, all seems to be in order.

Water needs as we age.

Trying to keep body and soul together, we find ourselves moving more, skipping out on junk food, and processed food.
