We Are A Letter of Christ

We have some friends who have sponsored children for a long time.  In fact, they sponsor one child for each of their four biological children.  That’s a ratio of 1:1.  A photograph of each child they sponsor hangs in each bedroom.  I love the idea! Joson is one of the children we have sponsored through Feeding the Orphans .  We have kept his picture on our fridge since the beginning of our sponsorship.  We were drawn to him because he is an older boy and we know older boys are usually the last to be chosen.  With five boys of our own, our heart was drawn to his warm smile immediately. Feeding the Orphans offers several opportunities to write the children letters throughout the year.  Volunteers bring the letters and deliver them to the orphans being sponsored in country.  Our family has written to Joson.  Imagine our surprise when we received a neatly handwritten letter back to us!  We couldn’t believe he would take the time to...

Super-fast, yummy stir-fry for quick RV meal

All it takes is a couple of chicken breasts in the freezer and some freshies – maybe a little bit of broccoli and a red pepper, or some celery and carrots – on top of steamed rice (even instant is better for you than a Big Mac) and we’re good to go.  Healthy and delicious!  Here’s our family’s favorite fast stir-fry. Super-fast Stir-fry The sky’s the limit with vegetables in this – we’ve used carrots, celery, all manner of bell peppers, broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms (shiitake, button, portobello), bok choy, onions and baby corn, all to good effect. We make a steamer full of brown rice, but it's faster with instant if that's what you have on hand. Serve...

Geocaching a Perfect Adventure for RVers and Campers

Have you ever fancied yourself a treasure hunter - studying an aged treasure map and searching for that mysterious place where X marks the spot? Well, we can’t promise gold and gemstones but a high-tech treasure hunt is sweeping the nation - geocaching. With over a million caches stashed around the world - in cities, forests, on mountainsides, and even underwater - chances are there’s an adventure just around the corner. Geocaching has grown in popularity among RVers all age groups - families, boomers, retirees - anyone that relishes an exciting outdoor adventure. The first step in geocaching is visiting http://www.geocaching.com/ to locate cache coordinates via zip code, state name or latitude/longitude. Then, using a handheld GPS unit or a GPS enabled iPhone, the hunters set out to locate the cache. And what exactly is a cache? Caches typically consist of a waterproof container hidden inconspicuously at the coordinates. Inside the container you’ll find a logbook and a variety of goo...
