This Morsø wood stove has been one of the absolute delights of our house at Tween Creeks through the years. We have loved its contemporary lines and porcelain finish. It has been a beautiful centerpiece to our living area and has provided us with wonderful warmth and...
One of our favorite activities when we are visiting in the El Dorado neighborhood of Santa Fe is joining in the morning conversation at Las Chivas Coffee with our brother-in-law and good friend, Bill. The regulars who linger for conversation on any day of the week on...
Even though we have been back at Tween Creeks for less than two weeks, we are back out again at the urging of friends Mary & Stan. We are at The Great Outdoors north of Franklin NC, approximately half an hour from home with our tiny trailer parked next to their...
In honor of the Good Saint's Day, our friends Jim & Karen supplied us with green derbies, corned beef and cabbage, and Irish whiskey this evening as they opened their home to several of their friends, only some of whom could trace our lineage back to the Ould Sod....
Apple TV has been a part of our entertainment equipment since the first generation became available in 2007. Recently we moved up to a 4th Gen version. Without satellite TV, or local broadcast TV, we still get an impressive amount of content with the Apple TV...
Even as the flood of 2015 was occurring on Christmas Eve, just hours after we had departed for New Orleans, we were acutely aware of the damage to the road along side Tween Creeks. When neighbors arrived with pizza our first night back, they regaled us with tales of...
Linus got his first haircut today! The curly locks have been shorn. Dad and Mom saved a lock for Nana and Grandpop. (It reminds us of Greg's first haircut in our Allendale driveway in late '82.) There a handsome big boy who has emerged from under that glorious mop!...
We've both put some considerable thought into taking our hobbies on the road. We've invested in a folding spinning wheel and folding loom for Karen's textile arts. We've gotten smaller tool chests for Steve's silver arts and investigated some more portable heat...
We've spent the last week in St Petersburg visiting with family and a few friends but mostly keeping a low profile. Vivian's driveway was our home and we helped her with a couple of projects. It's been good hanging out here without an intense social schedule. We've...
We arrived here in St Petersburg early yesterday afternoon to reclaim our property after a great visit with Ed & Jane over lunch. Dinner time found us savoring an incredible meal with Michael, Cathy, Matt, Em, and Cathy's niece. We slept in the T@B in Susan's...
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.

These last few days we've been getting oriented to our home for the month. With lodgings in the village of Hampstead in northwestern London, we have easy access to Hampstead Heath, a glorious 800 acre park that is a series of footpaths through woods and grassy spaces....
It’s been a fabulous day hopefully foreshadowing good things to come as we settle into making the village of Hampstead our home for four weeks!
It’s a first for us, a transatlantic sea voyage and our first trip to England! Although we’ve cruised quite a few times, this is different. Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 is an ocean liner rather than a cruise ship.
