The Rambling Quilter Newsletter March 2025

Itโ€™s March and Mardi Gras time! While weโ€™ve never been to New Orleans during Mardi Gras, we found two museums that are must-see locations for any Mardi Gras lover.


As part of our visit to Mobile, Alabama in 2022, we came across the Mobile Carnival Museum. According to Mobile, the first Mardi Gras parade was actually in that town. Read about the history of Mardi Gras and other things to see in Mobile with our blog post from 2022.


Ever wonder where all the floats are made for the many parades held during Mardi Gras in New Orleans? They are all made in one placeโ€”Blaine Kernโ€™s Mardi Gras World. And you can take a tour!


I previously shared tips for picking the perfect RV for you and your family. Here are tips we learned along the way for picking the location that best meets your needs and how to plan a great trip. Whether youโ€™re looking for a great campground or looking forward to boondocking, planning is key to a pleasant experience for you and your family.


Ok, so this isnโ€™t a recipe, but this is a great tip if you have a husband like mine who loves to cook on the Blackstone! At least one Sunday a month I load him up with a variety of meats, both breakfast and dinner, to cook on the Blackstone. Then we have breakfast/dinner for the week. This is great if we have travel days or a busy sightseeing days during the week.


March will be another busy month in the southwest. After coming back from our Baja California Whale Watching trip with Fantasy RV Tours, we will be attending the 2025 Escapees Escapade in Tucson, AZ, where Iโ€™ll will be presenting my Donโ€™t Wait Seminar.


Wonder why our Mission Statement is Donโ€™t Wait to Enhance, Change or Save Your Life?

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2023 while we were living our best life. The path I chose allowed us to get back on the road in October 2023.

Breast cancer was just a pothole in our RV travel road and has allowed me to tell my story to others with the hope of saving others through early detection.

We hope youโ€™re making memories and living your best life!
