Monday morning did not start well. We'd fasted in anticipation of having blood drawn at the laboratory but that didn't happen. Our favorite breakfast restaurant is closed on Mondays. We were too hungry to head for home and too hungry to make excellent choices at the...
This group started out three years ago as a small gathering of people with an interest in fiber crafts particularly spinning. The first gathering was on a third Sunday at Allen and Joyce's. As Joyce, Sherri, Wendy, and Karen gathered in Joyce's studio for a session of...
We participated in Wreaths Across America at the National Cemetery at Black Mountain NC yesterday. Inspiring. Thank you Worcester Wreath Company and all the sponsors and all the volunteers for this beautiful way of honoring those who fought for our country. One of our...
It's not Autumn without a little bit of applesauce but it's been a crazy few months and we hadn't put up our usual batch. Saturday though we got a chance to go by Barber Orchard Fruit Stand and got a peck of their local Stayman-Winesap apples. Yesterday we quartered...
See Park Video We went on a field trip with our friends Mary and Steve. Over a glass of wine recently we started hatching plans for a fun day and since none of us had ever visited the Carl Sandburg Home near Hendersonville we chose that as our starting point. Entering...
Ever since we got our new wheels we've been itching for a road trip. And for quite a while we've been anxious to visit Uncle Neil & Aunt Vi. We checked the weather forecast on Sunday and realized that we were looking...
It's been a cold week with lows in the high teens and highs in the low forties. The forecasters told us to expect this. They also warned us to expect snow. Today we got the cold misty rain. All day long. We were living inside a cloud. Maybe it was snow at the higher...
Generally we make Pulled Pork only for Deck Day, but several factors conspired to make us want to make up a batch. First of all was the availability of a locally raised Boston Butt at Bryson's this week. And the fact that we have friends coming over on Sunday. Then...
For the past few days we've been in studio mode. Steve's working on pendants for gifts for "girlfriends". He's got a bit of a backlog on promised pieces but sneaking in a surprise piece also. Besides the jewelry bench upstairs, his studio includes a heat station at...
In case you haven't noticed, we are great fans of Graeter's Ice Cream. It's been a Cincinnati thing since 1870 and with what we know of our genealogy, we think our families have been enjoying this sweet treat since it's beginnings in Findley Market in Over the Rhine....
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.

3D Museum Tour When the hugely popular cowboy philosopher Will Rogers died in a plane crash in the Arctic in 1935, America mourned and his widow donated twenty acres to the state of Oklahoma as a permanent memorial to an incredibly talented Wild West roper,...
Traveling south on US 81, we made our way into Kansas and shortly thereafter noticed signs for the Orphan Train Depot and Museum in Concordia, Kansas. Unfortunately for us the museum buildings were closed but the signs and exhibits on the outside gave us some insight...
Dear Subscribers, thanks for bearing with us. When we returned home last September we focused our energies on things other than posting travel blogs. Now as we prepare to head out with our T@B in the near future, we're excited about focusing on blog posts from the...
