Well, good news/bad news. The lift system problem is under warranty. Yeah! The part takes up to three weeks to arrive at the RV dealer. Sob. That means no camping until mid-May. Or does it? Last year at this time I was still van camping. The popup has spoiled me, but there is no reason…
My personal locator beacon (PLB) arrived and is ready to use. Couldn’t be easier to set up. It comes activated with batteries that expire in 2019 and has a test button. The only other action required is to register the device and your name at NOAA. Their registration website comes with the PLB literature. Should…
Many people have expressed concern about my traveling into the mountains by myself for 6 weeks So I began to think–thanks to the incessant media coverage about black boxes, pings, and towed pinger locators–that the world needs personal black boxes. Someone could make a great deal of money by inventing a personal pinger device for…
As I sip coffee and plan my day, I am reminded about all the wonderful events coming up. In my work I am blessed to be a part of life’s special moments. For example, in the next 6 weeks: Graveside memorial for 93-year-old woman who just died peacefully Passover Seder/Celebration Wedding Easter Baptism- 2 month…

You found me at my new site! The interior remodel (Woman Cave Project) of my popup camper has taken a back seat to the release of my book, moving Janes Journals,and ramping up Antelope Alley Publishing (www.antelopealley.com). AAP will help others who want to publish, and I am excited about the interest I am getting. I…

Deep winter returns to Wheatland. Temperatures are mostly below zero again and a light snow has covered the town. Tango and I have a house guest for the week, a little black female dog who likes to sleep on my head at night. With her on my head and a jealous Tango wedged against my…
Yesterday morning I happened to look at the back of the camper. Oops–I forgot about the temporary license plate, which expired on October 1. So, I gathered up all my paperwork and high-tailed it 1.5 blocks to the county courthouse for the permanent registration and plates. Everyone is so nice there, and they got me…
