A birthday package arrived today filled with wonderful goodies! There was Riley Art, skeins of yarn, and knitting patterns. Immediately the art got photographed so it can become part of the Apple TV screen saver and shortly thereafter some of the yarn found it's way...
On the spur of the moment we joined Ed for a somewhat leisurely lunch at L'Olivier in downtown St Petersburg. Wonderful company and incredibly delicious crepes, what more could one want?
An integral part of any Savoy South dancer's birthday celebration is the circle dance at Wednesday Night Swing. Steve was the first of Karen's many dance partners as friends circled around Karen and helped celebrate yet another birthday!
Started the day with a yummy breakfast at Beverly's La Croisette then a walk on Pass-a-Grille Beach. Also made a pilgrimage to Bill Jackson's Shop for Adventure to acquire a little more gear to help us refine our camping style as we prepare to to pack up and head out...
Yesterday we ventured out to go kayaking at Weedon Island Preserve but discovered the parking lot full and the sky threatening so we contented ourselves with exploring the visitor's center and learning more about the history of the area. The body of water west of the...
Spent a beautiful Sunday morning in downtown St Petersburg's newest park enjoying the sunshine, the breeze, the view of sailboats, and a spiffy new playground with the Neely family. Boo and Sam were fascinated with the twirly seats that kept going faster and faster...
Since somewhere around Fall of 2002 I has been harboring some red, green, and white wool and some white soy silk in my spinning supplies. On May 3rd I was invited to a gathering of spinners so I got out my spinning wheel and dusted it off and began spinning. Both...
It was a beautiful spring day. Since our last trip to our North Carolina mountain house, our view of the mountains has slipped behind the beautiful leaves of spring. We got the truck unloaded, stacked furniture and boxes like a giant Tetris game in the downstairs...
Headed out of St Petersburg with the Penske truck. Didn't like traveling with it on the interstate so just north of Macon we headed east on Georgia 93 to get US 441 north to Jackson County North Carolina and our home for the night, the Comfort Inn in Sylva. The photo...
We spent today loading the rented 12 foot Penske truck almost to the brim with a lot of our belongings. The apartment at the Madison is now furnished with not much more than the bare minimum! We could not have gotten the truck loaded without Greg's help. Then after...

It’s a rare treat for us to be celebrating Midsummer here on our mountainside enjoying cool misty mornings, sunny afternoons, pleasant evenings, oh yeah, and a fair number of rain showers. But then again that helps explain these lush green woods. The rhododendron are...
Fourteen years ago today after three years of planning, forty-four friends embarked on a two week adventure to the Land of the Midnight Sun, just in time for the Summer Solstice. From Fairbanks and Denali to Ketchican and the Inside Passage we had one fabulous...
