While we were hanging out with Greg and Rachel we were fascinated by their two pound soft weights. Â These sand filled balls are a fun way to sneak in a little exercise at odd moments. Yesterday we got some for ourselves. We'll pick them up, toss them back and forth...
Ten Thousand...It's just a number yet it evokes all sorts of thoughts and memories for us. First of all there's Ten Thousand Waves, the Japanese Spa in Santa Fe where we have on a few occasions indulged in luxury. And there's Ten Thousand Villages, the not for profit...
That locust and black walnut firewood that Steve B cut and split for us make amazing fires and lots of long burning coals. It's a romantic way to heat our home but since wood smoke isn't especially good for us, we're grateful to have both electric and propane heat...
Monday and Tuesday Steve B. came and downed a poplar tree for us as well as a big black walnut limb that had broken off in a storm. He turned that an a mess of other cut wood into split firewood piled helter skelter in the driveway. Today after two hours of stacking,...
While we are in Boston we have two major methods of working on genealogy. We can go to some of the excellent libraries nearby or we can use Greg and Rachel's excellent bandwidth and work online. Â We have been debating on whether to make the drive to Waltham and do...

Six of us headed off to the town of Black Mountain, east of Asheville today on adventure. Upon arrival we headed immediately to a delightful lunch at The Verandah, then with happily full tummies three of us went shopping at the yarn store and three went browsing at...
It was a day for adventures. We headed into the "big city" of Franklin. It's all relative. A town of 4000 souls can seem like the "big city" when you live in a community that doesn't even really have a downtown. Â First stop was to get some lunch at Chris and Charlie's...
Woke up to chilly weather. Funny, it doesn't bother us as much as it once did. Discovered a natural ice sculpture on the bottom side of our stored camp table. It's a beautiful sunny day and we are headed out to our monthly Sunday Spinning gathering. We've got the...
As of Saturday morning we needed just one last document so that we could put the finishing touches on our 2011 taxes. But that one document eluded us for two days. We searched diligently in the filing cabinet, the study closet, the studio closet, our bedroom closet,...

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.

Having learned a lesson from our 2019 visit to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore near Bayfield in northwest Wisconsin we went online a few days ago and secured our tickets for a Grand Tour with Apostle Island Cruises, a National Park Service approved...
Bayfield Maritime Museum 3D Tour Today started gently as we awakened in the campground at Dalrymple Park with a view of gorgeous greenery out our Stargazer window. After spending the next couple of hours enjoying our surroundings, we walked the short distance into...
To Mead or not to Mead wasn't really a question at White Winter Winery in Iron River, Wisconsin yesterday. We pulled in, spoke with our hostess, who was expecting us as part of the Harvest Hosts program, got ourselves situated behind their building, met our fellow...
