Veteran’s Day 2017: Honoring Those Who Serve

I’m going to be honest, I’ve thought about my Veteran’s Day 2017 post for a few days now, which is highly unusual for me in regards to those who dedicate their lives to protecting ours. If you know me even a little, you know that my blood flows red, white and blue. I’ve written my …

What Are You Doing for Memorial Day

What are you doing for Memorial day? I have asked that question of many of my friends and this is a holiday that has activities ranging from backyard BBQ, to the first RV trip of the season. As is typical of Memorial Day celebrations, families will be celebrating the beginning of summer with family reunions, …

Cuddles for Kids is Back

Cuddles for Kids is back! That’s right folks, it’s that time of year again! The time when PPL Motorhomes collects teddy bears for our annual Cuddles for Kids Teddy Bear Drive. For years, police officers have collected and distributed teddy bears to children to comfort them at a crime, or accident. If you folks …

Happy Independence Day!!

Back in 1776…240 years ago this weekend…the Founding Fathers of our nation were still arguing and compromising, drafting and redrafting the document that would declare the independence of the 13 colonies from their King and Country, George the III and England. It is one of the most important pieces of political writing in recent history …

I May Love Galveston a Little More Now

So… Galveston. Man, I love it. Texas’ favorite island getaway just got a little better than I ever thought it could get. Do you know why? I just found out they’re hosting THE TEXAS MARGARITA FESTIVAL! Holy Mackerel, if that doesn’t sound awesome I’m not sure what’s wrong with you…but I bet it’s hard to …

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

FIREWORKS! HOT DOGS! BBQ! PARADES! Ah, remember those sunny afternoons and dusky evenings when you were a kid impatiently waiting for the fireworks to start? It’s so nice to relive some of those memories with the grandkids. They’re hopping up and down, purely sugar powered by this point in the day, and the conversation usually …

July, 1776

On July 2, 1776 the Second Continental Congress decided to legally separate the thirteen colonies from England. In order to explain that decision to the citizens of the thirteen colonies as well as justify their action to the crown, a Declaration Of Independence needed to be written. Five men were chosen to draft the declaration: …

Happy Earth Day

When Earth Day was first declared in 1970, the date chose was March 21 which of course is the first day of Spring up here in the Northern Hemisphere. But somehow April 22 was also chosen as an environmental teach-in day and that date has stuck ever since as Earth Day. It appears from 1970 …

The Real First Thanksgiving was in Texas

Thanksgiving means many things to many people, and the point of the entire exercise is to be grateful for what you have. Be thankful for good health, financial success, a happy family, even for something as trivial as your football team whooping theirs. We here at PPL Motorhomes are thankful most of all for y’all’s …

Thank You, Veterans

***A VETERAN*** Whether on active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America,” for an amount of “up to and including my life.” That is honor, and something to be proud of! One of the most …

I’m Diana Leblanc-Link, but most folks know me as, “RV Nana”. I have been with PPL Motor Homes since 1980 and have been fortunate enough to grow up with this great company. A native Houstonian, I have been blessed with years of wonderful experiences and memories of RVing with family and friends. My book of life has been filled with many chapters from joyous celebrations to overcoming sorrow and loss. I have one child, my daughter Jennifer, who blessed me with three amazing grandchildren, but my story doesn’t stop there. I have 5 more children who refer to me as their “Bonus Mom” and they have blessed me with 8 more grandchildren. One of my favorite sayings is “ Our family is bound by love, not blood.” I was a Nana long before I became RV Nana. I was blessed to have shared this lifestyle with my late husband, a Cajun from Lafayette, and his spirit will live on in all of us as we continue down the road of life. Having been a widow for several years, I surrounded myself with friends and family and was, once again, blessed in 2018 when I married Rick and our two families became one. Together we will continue to write the next chapters in this Great Book of Life.

My life with PPL has given me so many wonderful chapters, from sharing my RV experiences as RV Nana to working with the Texas Campground Owners Association and holding the position of President of the Texas RV Association from 2011-2013, so it’s easy to see that the RV lifestyle is my style. Watch for me on the road …I’m the one with the RV Nana license plates on my Airstream…and share your RV experiences with me. See you soon!
