We're looking at the world through the windshield of the car yet again. Today's docket included errands to run all over WNC. Things to do and people to see in multiple locations in the region. Mail to collect, vehicle to get inspected, license tag to renew, hair to...
We made the trip from Tifton to Tween Creeks with minimal breaks. And, we drove through Atlanta! That's something we rarely do. We hate that traffic, but since it was a Sunday morning we thought it a safe risk and it was fine. Spent a lot of time on the phone checking...
Our good friend Sally gave us an incredible gift. She gave us use of her home while she was summering in Michigan. It was such a comfort to come "home" to her comfortable place, so whimsically decorated, in a wonderfully quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the quiet haven...
We arrived in Pinellas on May 30th. That was more than seven weeks ago. Since then Gary has gotten stronger and stronger. He's now ready to be independent. His cat is more than ready to see the last of us. We've enjoyed the little bit of...
Plans changed this morning. We learned that Karen's Dad had made an early morning trip to the emergency room so instead of heading to Largo to help Gary with his house project, we headed to Zephyrhills. We spent the morning and early afternoon with Karen's mother and...
Poor little kitty cat. He had such a good life with Gary. Just him and his human. Then Gary left him alone. Giuseppe didn't understand that Gary was in the hospital. All he knew was that after being alone for ten days that two strange humans came into his life and...
It's been 46 days since Gary transferred to the hospital to Oak Manor (but who's counting?). It's been a good place to get his feet firmly under him and to learn new skills that he will need going forward, but it's time to get out of there. Once he had all his stuff...
Among the tasks that we've been involved in as part of transitioning Gary to home is helping him sort through some of his possessions that have been packed away in boxes and putting them away in appropriate places. One of the treasures that we uncovered today is a...
It's truly Michael and Cathy's new house. It's inviting and comfortable. But somehow it seems that the Florida Room is Mike's Place. It's the music room and it's not unusual for us to hear the sounds of music wafting from that room as we approach the house. Tonight...
July rolled around and we're still in Pinellas. Saturday Night Swing in Largo celebrated July birthdays and Arleene was in the middle of the circle dance. Karen would have been also but for the fact that she danced last month thinking we would be off on our trip by...
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 the south shore of Devil's Lake is the Fort Totten State Historic Site on the edge of the North Dakota town by the same name. It sits on land that was home to the Dakota people at the turn of the Nineteenth Century. Indeed some of their descendants still reside on...
Sitting here at the campground at Grahams Island State Park actually on an island in Devils Lake, the largest freshwater lake in North Dakota. We pulled in on Wednesday for a luxurious four night stay on Site #154 with full hookups and a very easy walk to the boat...
Visiting the Geographical Center of North America Monument wasn't the magnet that drew us to the heart of Rugby, North Dakota but was a definite bonus. We headed here to visit the Prairie Village Museum, a Harvest Hosts site and an amazing collection of Americana...
