After a pleasant rainy morning at home with Michael and Emily we ventured out for a trip to town mid-afternoon. First stop was to Heinzelmännchen, our Gnome Town Brewery for a flight of local brews and a glass of root beer. Then on to the bridge between the parks for...

A Landmark is Changing
Speedwell General Store has been a landmark in the area since 1972 and has had a place in our hearts since 1979. When we give directions to our house, we always mention it. Back in the late '70's and early to mid-80's it really was a general store and we'd stop there...
Eddie the Robot
Another event that we are not there for today, is Robot Day at Fort Worth Museum of Science and History where Edward is Eddie the Robot, a humanoid who sports beautiful red eyes! And loves kids!
The Texas Family
It's been a great weekend with family and friends. Friday afternoon we visited Bud & Cathie and got a tour of the place they now call home. That evening we enjoyed an Italian dinner and lively conversation with Patti, Mark, Mike, and Lynette. Saturday morning we...
A Bit of Comfort Needed
It's been one of those mornings. It should have been easy enough to run just a few simple errands. We went to the post office to pick up a package that tracking said would be there but it's not. Then at the pharmacy, a three dollar coupon wouldn't scan. The ATM gave...
More Farewells
After a briefer than usual morning coffee klatch and breakfast on the deck, we helped Ed and Viv pack up Ed's Charger for their trip back to Pinellas. This has been a glorious weeklong celebration of family and friends. We're not ready for it to end yet!
Abandon Hope…
Vivian has fond memories of a drive on Heintooga Round Bottom Road and was anxious to see it again. It's a 28 mile drive on a one way road that feels like a trip on the Appalachian Trail. We always tease as we pass this sign, "Abandon hope all ye who enter here."...
More Than a Mile
Ed and Vivian took the opportunity to stay an extra day and tour some of the surrounding countryside. First stop is Waterrock Knob on the Blue Ridge Parkway where Ed is particularly enjoying the rarified air here more than a mile high.
Deck Day Detritus
Another of the Deck Day traditions is the trip to the trash/recycling depot. Somehow we didn't have the energy to get the multiple bags loaded and transported but this morning it's time to do what must be done. It doesn't mean Deck Week is done - the party is...
Post Deck Day Festivities
We enjoyed a continuation of Deck Day festivities this morning with a breakfast for fifteen! Then lots of hugs as many of the out of town guests climbed into their cars for their trip home (or continuing on their travels). This evening we are five who have been...
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.

OUR VERY
LATEST
Bob’s Diner
Making the decision to live in our cute little 2021 T@B 400 teardrop trailer means that for us a road trip isn’t necessarily a vacation so we approach meal planning the way we would if we had a fixed residence. We grocery shop and prepare most of our meals at home....
The First Four & a Half Months
Where are we? Where have we been? What are our plans? Why are we so behind on the blog? So many questions but we'll do our best to give you an update. This afternoon we arrived at Greg's in Western Massachusetts and spent a pleasant evening with grandkids in the...
Where in the World?
Where are Steve & Karen now? At T@Bazona23, a T@B Rally in Ehrenberg, Arizona celebrating Steve’s birthday by greeting old friends and meeting new friends in the nüCamp Family and enjoying moderate temperatures. We’ll be here until Sunday when we’ll winterize our...
