Favorite places around Saint Louis
So many people ask me for recommendations in and around Saint Louis, that I thought I’d list a few here: Saint Louis has a commitment to free arts. The Zoo, Art Museum (a relic of the 1904 World’s fair with a new modern addition), Laumeier Sculpture Park are all high on my list of wonderful […]
For those with closets
I don’t have a closet in my camper, but I am always thinking about Eggs and how I can help folks enjoy their’s more. I saw this rack idea someone came up with for a 4″ deep closet in a big RV. The lightbulb came on. And I thought how easy it would be to […]
Make it your own
If there is one thing I hope to convey in all my holiday decorating, it’s that creating from your heart is so much more fun than just buying things off the shelf. One truth I rediscover every year, as I unpack my ornaments, is that it’s the ones that come with the love of friends […]
Christmas Campers
Well, this crazy year has been so up and down with trips out west to try and get the new house up and running, interspersed with wildfires and all manner of crazy events. We barely had time to get any camping trips in but a few did dot our year’s landscape. It seems we will […]

Stepping up
As much to help our short legged long-bodied dogs as us, we use a stable aluminum platform step with adjustable legs to make it easier to access the Egg. We like it because each leg can be adjusted if we are in unlevel sites. That isn’t to say, there is always enough adjustment room, however. […]
Awning
Living in the Midwest, most of our travels include forests and trees. Campgrounds provided plenty of shade and we rarely found ourselves needing an awning. Most of our sun hours are spent walking in the woods or touring historic sites. There are occasions when a light rain storm is blowing and it is nice not […]
And the person who receives the gift ornament is…
I wrote down all your names on a separate piece of paper and fished out the winner from a bowl. I wish I could send each and every one of you an ornament! But I had to choose one and it is: Sue Bouwense!!! You all can give me a gift by sharing my […]
Christmas on a borrowed tree and $10
Well, this little project has come to a close. I am so happy with the way this tree has come together. It was fun making something from found things and spending time just creating things. I let the serendipity and the creative muse guide me without stressing over what I would make. It really […]
