We’re back in Maryland. We stopped by the boat to check on her and put Damprid inside to hopefully keep the mildew at bay during the hazy, hot and humid summer of the Chesapeake Bay. We’re not completely sure what our summer plans are but we’re going to visit kids and grands using our RV.… Continue reading Back to Maryland

These are pictures of wildlife we saw in Texas this winter (Jan to April 2021).   Several different types of jellyfish.     Ibis   Ibis…don’t go away mad…just go away!         The fish laying on the bank in the picture above and this sea turtle were dead from the week of… Continue reading Texas wildlife winter 2021

I’m not sure two winters in a row in Texas means we can call ourselves winter Texans but we enjoyed another winter there…well, except for the epic freeze in February! YES…we survived the unprecedented freeze of 2021 in Texas!! This year we stayed in Rockport, about an hour from Chorpus Christi, on Aransas Bay, right… Continue reading Winter Texans

Christmas in Bethlehem… In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to… Continue reading Christmas 2020

We are so thankful for the love and welcome we’ve had this year at our daughters home. We’re living in our RV at their house and have enjoyed all the extra time we’ve had with our grandchildren. Living “next door” has been very special.   Carrots – easy to grow, fun to collect, great to… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2020

We’ve learned that the best place to social distance is walking the beach! So we booked a week in the middle of November at the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Fortunately, we picked a nice warm week!   Whenever possible, it’s necessary to visit any nearby lighthouses. Especially historic ones that have been moved inland… Continue reading Outer Banks NC

It’s fall and the temperatures are getting chilly, leaves are changing colors and falling off the trees, warm layers are coming out of the closet. So what do we do? Go to the beach, of course! Back when we homeschooled, we established a tradition of going to the Delaware Seashore State Park the first week… Continue reading Delaware Seashore State Park

The fall means changing leaves and brilliant colors. And where better to see them than Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah Valley. And what better way to travel than to take one of the grands with us!   Our storage place turned back into a bed. For our trip, this was her spot. One of the… Continue reading Shenandoah National Park

We missed them! It was fun to explore new areas, but it was great to get back to the grands! Our adopted puppy, Drift. He travels with us, hikes (peeking out of a backpack) and has a habit of hiding all over the camper. Fortunately we have lots of help finding him (and then hiding… Continue reading Back to the Grands!!

From the Adirondacks, we decided to head further East. Originally, our plan was to head for Maine. But Maine had some pretty severe COVID restrictions, so we decided on Vermont instead. Vermont is an interesting state: almost entirely rural with a couple of small population clusters. But, like the Adirondacks, full of friendly locals and… Continue reading Vermont
