What a glorious weekend! We made the trip down to St Petersburg so we could participate in the festivities celebrating Sean and Arleene's wedding. We helped with the decorations Friday afternoon, witnessed their exchange of vows that evening, danced at their reception...
Way back when we lived at The Madison we often delighted in making the walk to  Paciugo on Beach Drive.  Today we found ourselves in downtown St Petersburg and somehow our footsteps led us to Paciugo and an opportunity to savor some gelato!
Today after errands in town, we went in search of somewhere to get a celebratory bite to eat. We'd been seeing signs for Creekside Oyster House for quite a while and a friend had raved about the food. After today, we're fans! The Oyster Po' Boy was the best Karen's...
It's not perfect yet but streaming the Super Bowl is getting better. When we did it two years ago we got to watch the game, or at least most of it (the streaming quit just before the end of the game) but we didn't get to see the network Super Bowl ads. This evening we...
It rained last night and this morning we read that a severe weather alert had been issued for our area warning that freezing temperatures following the rain would lead to patchy ice conditions. When we looked out at the deck we saw that and more. Apparently we also...

They are three knit caps all inspired by a Red Cross World War II Navy Watch Cap pattern. The navy blue one is for Karen's Dad who was a Seaman First Class during WWII. The other two are for Dave and Steve both of whom loved the lovely soft merino/alpaca Mirasol yarn...
Tween Creeks welcomed us this afternoon to the beauty of winter in the mountains! So different from the Caribbean or even the Florida Suncoast! Â It's going to be good to settle into our little cocoon and enjoy some solitude for a while. We'll put up our feet for a day...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.
