Rain! Freezing temperatures. Generally miserable weather. Large puddles of water everywhere. Few neighbors out. The weather degraded over several days, then the storm for several days, now slow recovery to normal weather. At least until the next storm. I tried to keep up walking routine with Tango. We saw a few others and the conversation was…
The desire to travel and live in my camper was something I could no longer resist. It invaded my soul, causing me to endlessly read about the adventures of others and to daydream nonstop. I thought that by purchasing a pop-up camper–training wheels–and camping every day off would be enough. The pastoral emergencies that interrupted,…
Sand! Sand in the sheets, on the floor, in my ear, and clinging to my shoes. Every day I sweep the camper and wipe the shoes. I cover the bed with Tango’s quilts, hoping to contain the sand on the bed surface. I am supposed to have outdoor flip-flops and indoor flip-flops, but I forget…
My Samsung Chromebook is perfect for my needs. Only a few things are different from a regular computer, such as saving images. The Office-like programs are slightly different, but I have already been using them and Chrome. I had figured out most of the differences. If you want to get away from expensive, heavy, and…
Tango and I explored on foot this morning, walking a large circle. We walked first to our beach, then east around the tip of the island and along Mobile Bay. We passed Fort Gaines but no developments! This section only has the park where I am staying (run by a Parks and Beach board), a…
Time to head for Dauphin Island, AL. I have two choices to get there. The first is to drive 50+ miles to the ferry at Fort Morgan, AL. The second, driving 100+ miles, going through Mobile then back down along Mobile Bay to the bridge. This has never been my favorite option, because it sounds…
I am here safely! I misplaced my computer cord while driving down here, which is why I have not written. I have so much to share. I am overflowing with many blessings. “Here” is Ordway-Swisher Biological Station”, outside of Gainesville, FL. The station is about 9,500 acres of restored Florida habitat—classic live oaks draped with…
Still in Ohio, waiting out the storm! Crisp mornings drinking coffee outside in my lounge chair. Nice neighbors to chat with in the evening. I grew up here and left, they stayed. We exchange stories and laughs. We tour each other’s RV, making notes, comparing features. I tell Mike, how can yours be 20 feet?…
I remember growing up with high humidity in Akron. However, compared to what I live in now, it seems more than humid. The air is wet, drenched. When I step outside my camper with my morning cup of coffee, I find more than morning dew. My chair, table, cushions are wet. Wetter than the moisture…
In case you are wondering, I am currently an RV bum, hunkered down in an RV park, working part time for a while, and working out a plan to live in my RV, work, and travel from now on. I don’t have everything figured out at this point. For now, besides working in the plant department…
