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
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
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
A Campground First-Honoring Veterans
This week at Lake In Wood was a first, not only here but I’m banking that no campground in America has ever done something like this before. Klaas and Judy, owners of Lake In Wood Campground Resort, hosted some seventy veterans from the Coatsville VA Hospital. It was a well planned day that had all … Continue reading
July Ends in Lancaster County
I thought I had better post this week’s happenings. Not that they’re much to speak of, but family and friends are wondering if all is OK once again as my daily posts have diminished to weekly. It’s just the idea that staying put in one arena for much of the summer hasn’t allowed for enough … Continue reading
Monday Bachelorhood

Ironic
I just love a good oxymoron. Despite the dogma of any specific religion or cult; regardless of strict mores or neo conservative platforms; in the end it always boils down to money and sex. This book display was caught by Jay the other day and he shared it with me. I’m sharing it with you … Continue reading
Christened
At the week’s onset, Xavier Ryan was baptized and christened into the world of believers, removing original sin from his soul. Although I’ve been taught these beliefs myself from as far back as I can remember, I looked upon that innocent face and could not grasp the concept of sin in this tiny and beautiful … Continue reading
Just an Average Day
We have friends, relatives and acquaintences that voice envy in this lifestyle of ours. This one of fulltiming. They believe in an ethereal vision of utopic proportions. Ah!! To be able to “live the dream”. My retort is that one finds it not altogether different than the previous life choice. If you tend to eat … Continue reading
Wetting and Whetting
The rains have pummeled us the past few days, fog lifting late from the river, creating an ominous landscape from our windshield view. It has offered time to re-organize cabinet space, making the placement of daily needs more user- friendly. We moved pots, pans, and tupperware to eye level cabinets, relegating the waffle maker, crock … Continue reading
