Our cute wood and leather giraffe statues that we received from cousins in Florida have added a personal touch to our RV home decor for the last couple of months. At over 3 ft tall, they are too big and must be stowed on the bed during travel days so…

Next up, RV annual service in Coburg, Oregon and we are ready to load up my parents and head toward Canada!
