When we first decided to leave the tent, I thought we were headed in the direction of a Scamp Camper. As we started to look into it, we found out that there are several lightweight fiberglass Egg makers so my Hub, the consummate researcher, began his internet queries and a spreadsheet was born. We […]
The topic of travelling for long parts of the year comes up a lot. We aren’t yet retired, so this can be an academic sort of meandering at this point. I’m doing my research though. I’m a dreamer. I love to see a world of possibility and abundance. The Hub and I have been living […]
There many wonderful sites out there showing the path of the eclipse. This is my favorite: http://xjubier.free.fr/en/site_pages/solar_eclipses/TSE_2017_GoogleMapFull.html Missouri has just opened up their reservation page for the three day minimum reservation of the eclipse dates (8/18-8/21/17). Normally MO won’t allow reservations for future years (one need wait til Jan 1st). So, reservations are filling fast. […]
It’s in the early mornings before my family awakens that I spend a little time talking to The Center of the Universe, Source, God, Abba, Buddha–or Love (because all those words boil down to God for me). Sometimes, right before periods of big change in my life, the Universe will answer me back. Generally, that means […]
A couple years old now, our little automatic camera is still a favorite thing. In the eighties we had the big pre-digital SLR and a bag of big expensive lenses and have shifted to smaller and smaller and better and better point and shoot cameras every few years. When we bought this Panasonic Luminix (http://www.n1wireless.com/panasonic-lumix-dmc-zs40-digital-camera-black-with-16gb-sd-card.html?fee=4&fep=2928&gclid=CPrVt5XT7M8CFQsbaQodsYMEeQ), […]
There are little towns all across America that boast a claim to fame or historic event that puts them on the map of worthy visits. Some lucky towns have tireless and generous citizens who work to preserve the history through murals, museums, oddities and public sculptures. Benton Il is just such a town. Downtown, the […]
Small town lives, lived and lost, and the stories they tell.
Our Egg will be 17 months old in about two weeks. She has been on 20 trips. That means 20 scrubbings to get the splattered bugs off. The deal with The Hub is I do the trip washes if he does the waxing. So, today, we finally had a 75 degree cloudy day–perfect weather for […]
It’s Fall. The heat of the nineties has finally broken and given way to temperatures twenty degrees cooler. Ahhh…. Fall and early Winter are my favorite camping and touring seasons. The fires aren’t wasted in sweltering heat, the crowds are gone, the trees are closing up season while crickets and katydids sing away the last […]
These are the hooks we currently use to hang things on the carpeted walls (just be careful to only hang super lightweight objects on the carpeting –you don’t want the carpet to pull away from the walls):But I’m always looking for new ways to hang lightweight objects on the carpet or fiberglass and I’m perpetually on […]
