Family and Friends
I was lucky enough to have some great timing as cannon fire pierced the ears. We meet newly arrived neighbors Jack and Carol the other day, finding something in common as Jack’s roots take him to the same county in which we live back in Pennsylvania. So it was natural that we spent time … Continue reading
Momma Crowned a Winner
I am the boss of this galley, the pervayor of fine foods, chef of the day within these walls. However, I know there are some things that I don’t touch and leave to the expert. Chili, stew, homemade drop noodles, rice pudding are just some of the items that I leave to my roomate. In … Continue reading
Expensive Lessons Learned
Quite often I have either written or voiced the idiom, “isn’t life strange, a turn of the page.” Never has it smacked me in the face as it did this week. Mornings here have been quite laden with fog rising from the Suwanee. I usually walk down to the dock before morning coffee to watch … Continue reading
Russian Dream Come Late
For eleven months I would parlay the winding trails of Cambodia’s Quang Tri Province, remaining sightless just off their perimeters, all the while observing movement and transportation of supplies and equipment of the Soviets along with their assistance to the Cambodian rebels. While “in country”, I was to garner information for recon purposes. When out … Continue reading
Suwanee Day Trips
Mornings have been a bit foggy this week. But it soon lifts and the days have been full of sun. We did experience that cold spell that hit the eastern seaboard but forty-eight hours later it was just a memory. Temps are now back in the mid 70′s. We christened the first week of the … Continue reading
New Year’s Eve
We spent some time today making acquaintances with new neighbors. The park is full for the holday weekend but I”m sure by Monday we’ll be two of a handful of visitors remaining. We began our daily walking routine, and then mounted and installed Robin’s new depth finder, a Christmas gift from Ryan and Carolyn. The … Continue reading
Too much traveling
By Wednesday we made it to Fayetteville, NC where we retrieved our rig. Friends Tom and Nancy Dreyer manage the KOA there. It’s about mid-point between our two destinations but allows us to renew acquaintances with old friends. By Thursday, we retrieved Robin’s pontoon boat in Santee, SC but found we have some leaky bearings … Continue reading
Heading North
I’m wondering where the days have gone. We’ve not done much of any significance in the past few weeks and now its time to leave Myrtle. I find not working to be quite expensive. And it’s not the lack of funds funneling into the bank account. It’s my contribution to the oil companies and department … Continue reading
Choices
Everyday I make little choices. Some days they’re a bit more difficult. Periodically, they become major choices that have a greater impact on our lives with the risks and consequences being more severe. In fact, I’m always ranting to my children that as we grow older the most difficult aspect of our lives are the … Continue reading
Friends at Myrtle Beach
We didn’t drive far, landing just outside of Myrtle Beach last week. We settled in at Willow Tree Resort,one of the finest parks in all our travels. In fact, our first workamping stint came here some four years ago. This was the place in which I got fired for the first time in my life … Continue reading
