We’re the Joneses! Please try to keep up?

We’re Bob and Lisa. We’re a couple who met later in life. When Bob moved to St. Augustine in 2007, he didn’t know anyone, so he joined eHarmony. Lisa was already on eHarmony. We went on our first date on July 7th, 2007. That’s right; our first date was on “jackpot” day, 7-7-7. We were married in November 2009.

In January 2010, Bob was diagnosed with a congenital condition that will eventually take his vision. After four surgeries over the next year, we decided to travel and see the country. During the summer of 2011, we sold almost everything we owned and set out on our “Grand Adventure.” Over the next four years, we lived in North Dakota, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado. Lisa worked as a traveling nurse. During her time off, we went sightseeing.


In 2014, we moved to Arizona to be closer to our grandsons. But the “Grand Adventure” did not stop there. We visited areas in the southwestern US, hiked on beaches in California and Texas, and drove to the top of 14ers in Colorado. In October 2018, we went on a Disney cruise through the Panama Canal while skirting around a hurricane.


In 2019, after the grandsons moved back to Florida, we were presented with an opportunity to return to Florida. Lisa arrived in mid-November while Bob followed just before Christmas. We had just begun settling into our new home when COVID hit.


To protect ourselves from the virus, we have put our “Grand Adventure” on hold. As COVID has lingered, we have changed how we travel. We are taking shorter trips that allow us to maintain social distancing.

  12. Thanks for your submission. I also think that laptop computers are getting to be more and more popular lately, and now will often be the only kind of computer included in a household.

  14. I believe that avoiding prepared foods is the first step in order to lose weight. They could taste excellent, but ready-made foods have very little nutritional value, making you feed on more only to have enough vigor to get over the day. In case you are constantly feeding on these foods, moving over to whole grain products and other complex carbohydrates will aid you to have more electricity while ingesting less. Great blog post.

  15. Another issue is that video gaming became one of the all-time greatest forms of excitement for people of nearly every age. Kids participate in video games, plus adults do, too. Your XBox 360 is one of the favorite video games systems for those who love to have a lot of activities available to them, as well as who like to relax and play live with people all over the world. Thank you for sharing your notions.

  17. Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?

    1. So about your hacking. I have never been hacked, knock on wood. I don’t have any suggestions for you! I write everything in Word or Grammarly then copy it into my blog, so they are backed up there.

  18. Greetings! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one? Thanks a lot!
