Get Together with John & Sandy, Blog Followers

We have been enjoying our time here in the Black Hills. With the drywall contractor working inside it has allowed Gina and I time to relax and catch up on a few chores. Just to keep everyone up to date with the progress here are a few more pictures of Mom & Pop's "Summer Cabin". (I decided to change the name from apartment to Summer Cabin.)

We began our morning yesterday by building and installing two posts in the ground for a cloths line. That sounded easy but digging the holes was another story. It’s hard to dig a hole through rocks but with Gina’s help we got it dug. Pop’s mixed up the concrete and filled the holes up.


Posts are in the ground just need to string the line, Hope you enjoy your very first clothesline

Gina then decided it would be a good time for cutting hair. First up, was Pop’s. I think he even took a little nap while Gina was cutting his hair. Once she finished with him she cut my hair.

Our big excitement today was looking forward to meeting John and Sandy, authors of Mothership RV blog. They’re fulltime RV’ers and have been here in Custer for two weeks. Check out their blog.


John & Sandy

We have been trying to get together. However, we just haven’t been able to fit it in until today. We invited them to come over and enjoy our social hour followed by dinner. John and Sandy have been following our blog for quite some time and it’s always special for us to meet those that follow us. This was no exception as John and Sandy are a wonderful couple who are enjoying the fulltime RV lifestyle. We all felt like we already knew each other because we read each other’s blogs. We enjoyed a dinner of grilled pork tenderloin covered with grilled peppers & onions, smothered potatoes, green beans, cole slaw, and broccoli salad. For dessert Gina baked a cherry & pineapple dump cake and Sandy baked Apple Streusel Bread. The food and dessert tasted fantastic. After dinner we continued talking until around 8:30 when the yawning was getting the best of everyone. After we took some pictures together we said goodbye until we see each other down the road again.


Mike & Pat, John & Sandy, and Gina & I

They are heading toward Wisconsin, this was there home before getting on the road. They'll be there for a couple of months. We hope to see them again around November when they're planning to be in Louisiana for a few days. We wish them safe travels as they continue their journey. We then went inside for the night and I’m not sure what Gina did but I fell asleep within minutes in the recliner.

It was a wonderful day and was extra special to meet John and Sandy. Not sure what is in store for Saturday but stay tuned, as I’m sure it will be exciting.


Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.

  3. I like "summer cabin" much better. It fits their place to a tee. :-)
    So glad you all got to meet John and Sandy. We've started following their blog and have really enjoyed getting to know them through their post.
    The summer cabin is really taking shape. Its so much fun to see the updated photos because so much happens in between photos....lots of progress.
