The Birth of the Whale

About three years ago we, my soul mate and I decided to invest in a motor home.  Business ventures and a need to wander instigated the decision.... and several attempts at camping in a small travel trailer in cold weather.  Years ago we sailed both small and large boats, but when our first grandchild was born we realized the value of dry dock.  Three years and three RV's later, we have our house on wheels and hope to be full timers in a year or two.  When my brother Ted saw the RV for the first time, he laughed and said, "It's a whale."  The name stuck and so did the idea of a blog being useful.  We are, after all, not the best at staying in touch with folks.  If we could drive the Whale to a deserted island and park, we would - just the two of us.  The blog seems like a way to wander with words as we wander the U.S. and stay in touch.
