When my wife and I were able to get e-mail on the road, we started keeping notes about our trips. This was to help me remember the day’s activities so I could e-mail trip reports to friends and relatives in the evenings. At one point I noticed that my collection of e-mail messages formed a written record of our trip.

After a few trips I decided to try to do something with my trip notes and e-mail messages. At the end of our Christmas trip in 1995, I "Stitched" my notes and messages together to form a story of our trip. Originally, the stories were mostly a chronicle of our motorhome trips to our home town. I would print copies to send to relatives in Wichita. Later I was able to include other adventures.

We joined an RV club in 1996 and now my stories often include friends we’ve made in the club. We’ve been fortunate to have joined a club that has members with a sense of adventure. The resulting RV treks added some welcome variety to my trip stories. But I still would print up copies to give to the people in the stories.

About a year before I began writing my stories, I was fooling around with a new feature on the internet called the World Wide Web. As soon as the service was available on AOL, I set up my own website there. Shortly after writing my second story, I put my first two stories on the web. After a while my stories outgrew the available space on AOL, so I moved to a service that provided more space and allowed me to use my own registered domain name. The new site gave me an opportunity to remodel my old website into a more conventional web design.

Putting my stories on the web is a way for me to make it easier to share them with friends and relatives. However, anybody who gets enjoyment out of my stories is welcome. I don’t have a regular schedule for putting new stories up on the web. I will add new material as time allows. So, come back now and then to see what we have been up to lately.
