We watched the 1943 Bing Crosby film, "Going My Way"this evening. Through the years it has been one of our seasonal traditions. Always in the days following Thanksgiving we watch this heartwarming film set in WWII era New York City. In the days and weeks to come we'll...
It's a Cincinnati thing, and if you are not a Cincinnatian, you wouldn't understand. But the roots of Goetta run deep in our families. It's truly a comfort food. We made a batch today so we'll enjoy some this evening and for breakfast for the next few days. It will...
When the two of us decided we didn't want to fuss with a turkey dinner and all the trimmings for just two of us, we consulted Chef Jean-Pierre Brehier's Incredible Cuisine for ideas. The author in his comments for Coq-au-Vin said that if we were to make only one...
Well, maybe it's more whitish than white, but there IS snow on the deck and more coming out of the sky this morning. We are thankful today that we have no need to leave home to travel any mountain roads. We've planned a simple non-traditional celebration for just the...
It's been a project in the making for quite a while. Our sister-in-law asked if Karen would knit her an afghan. In February she and we shopped together for the yarn knowing that it take some time. The project traveled with us this summer growing in scale as we logged...
Yes, the infamous polar vortex has arrived and brought unseasonable freezing temperatures. Yesterday started out at 19 degrees and got all the way up to 25 degrees! We had no need to leave home but did venture out to work on outfitting the new camper with gear we'd...
Once upon a long time ago we would amuse our children with songs and tales of Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger, too on an LP vinyl that survives to this day. One of the tales involves an attempt by Pooh and friends to lose Tigger in the fog of a misty moisty morning. So as...
Late yesterday afternoon we had the privilege of taking delivery of a beautiful new 2015 Custom T@B-CS camping trailer at the Pleasant Valley factory in Sugarcreek OH. After an opportunity to hobnob with Joe Mullet and several members of his team, we spent time with...
We've been hanging out in Canton for a week while our replacement camper is being manufactured at a location about forty-five minutes south of here. We've made a series of home cooked dinners for Dave and company including a pork chops dinner requested by Riley. We...
We awakened this morning to discover that the forecasters who predicted snow for us last night were correct. And the fall leaves are still on many of the trees! (There are even some trees still green.) Not only that but we haven't really had frost yet! Old-timers say...
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.

On Monday when we locked the door, left the key, and drove away from our mountain house we thought things were settling down. Little did we realize that life would continue to be a whirlwind for sometime yet. Here we are without a bed of our own and no sense yet of...
Life is an Adventure! Today we've taken a huge step in moving on to the next chapter in our lives. If all goes according to plan the sale of our mountain house will be complete within forty-eight hours. This morning we tucked the last few items into our truck, did a...
We’ve just celebrated our Forty-Ninth Anniversary in western Massachusetts. We opted to linger a while longer with our trailer parked in Greg’s driveway. It’s a salubrious time of year here. For dinner on our anniversary we asked Greg to join us for drinks and dinner...
