Yes, walking the deck, not walking the plank. After months on the road we are working back into our at home routine including walking for fitness. Yesterday we went to the rec park and walked 2.4 miles on the track then another half mile or more over to the elementary...
SAFF, the Southeast Animal Fiber Fair is an annual event at the Ag Center in Asheville. Fiber growers and vendors come from all over the Southeast and even a few from the Northeast for a glorious three day event. And folks who spin, dye, knit, crochet, weave, and felt...
A while back we made plans to get together with longtime friends Stan & Elaine today while they were in the area for a family celebration, but we weren't expecting that we'd also get to visit with Phil & Vera! We were so thrilled to see them when we walked...
Yesterday was an at home day. Eric stayed parked in the driveway while we busied ourselves with projects in and around the house - some dejunking, some leaf raking, some culling out of digital photos. Two of the projects were a treat for the senses. On Saturday we...
Yes! We see blue skies for a change! To celebrate we headed out for a walk in the neighborhood. Since it was a little after five it was also a chance to visit with a couple of neighbors as they were returning home after work. It's a great way to connect and get in a...
With all the hard rain last night and all day today, we learned we really do have a roof leak. Some months ago we noticed a stain on an upstairs ceiling and immediately called Ken, our guru of all things home construction. He could not find the leak at that time. So...
We heard rain in the roof during the night, woke up to rain and cloud covered mountains out our living room windows, saw the weather report calling for rain all day and night, and decided it was not a good day for gardening! We did take a walk to see how the road was...
Our route south on I-81 took us through a corner of West Virginia. We often travel a longer stretch of the West Virginia Turnpike on our way to and from northeastern Ohio. We usually lose cell service on the turnpike but with the very mountainous terrain it is...
One more visit with the wee one and his parents. We were able to help by procuring a couple bags of groceries, washing a bit of laundry, baking some cookies, not to mention cuddling our grandson! Grandpa Ben and Grandma Lynda also came to visit and cuddle. We four...
Linus and family arrived at the house on Redwood Street today, a beautiful sunny Autumn day. He has spent his time enjoying cuddles by parents and grandparents and the chance to nap on a chest or two. Meanwhile the adults are addressing issues like laundry and...
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 our first visit to Cahokia Mounds State Park near Collinsville, Illinois, across the river from St Louis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we were so impressed with the importance of this site we chose to join the Cahokia Mounds Museum Society to support ongoing...
Today has been a comedy of errors. Our plan had been to visit Cahokia then head on to our campsite near Carlyle, Illinois. All that would have been about four hours of driving. But as we were preparing to leave Fisherman’s Corner COE Campground near Moline, Illinois...
Last night we enjoyed our stay at Dam East-McNair Campground, near Carlyle, Illinois remembering our 2016 stay at Dam West, on the other end of the dam. So today's journey was a trek across the Illinois from just east of the Mississippi River to just over the Ohio...
