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
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
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
Fayetteville KOA
As we motored down I-95 I thought about where we might be just before sunset. I don’t cotton much to setting up in the dark anymore. It was then that I phoned my old friend Tom Dreyer. We met Tom and his wife Nancy four years ago while we were at our first working stint … Continue reading
Friends
We left Lake In Wood last weekend, leaving the rig on site for the insurance adjuster to address. We headed West in the truck for a few weeks of visiting friends. Our plans were to meet up with Tom and Deanna at Table Rock Lake in western Missouri. Tom and Deanna are friends we worked … Continue reading
9/11 In a Different Light
09/11/01 is stamped indelibly in our minds. We remember the morning, where we were, and the aftermath of that infamous date. Not to diminish those events, I commemorate that day in my own personal way. 9/11 was the date I chose for my cancer surgery and this marks my fourth anniversary sans the dreaded “Big … Continue reading
Week of Weather Whirlwinds
We’ve run the gamut as far as weather conditions and climate alterations in the past few weeks. Initially, it was the earthquake, pale in comparison to those along the San Andreas fault. But in Pennsylvania, those almost never appear so it was a big deal. I’m sure they would scoff at us on the Left … Continue reading
