We’ve maintained a pretty frugal food budget for the past few months. However, I felt it was time the other day to treat Robin to something special. Danielle and Judy recommended a fine little place just north of here. If you’re ever in the Reading area, you must treat yourself to Green Hills Inn on [...]
I spent most of the remainder of the weekend just puttzing. I had to stick around for pre-operative tests that are mandatory for the upcoming surgery. I felt a bit guilty as I knew Robin was back at the cafe and would be busy as hell on a Sunday. That’s usually our busiest day of [...]
We’ve only had a half dozen workamper experiences in the past few years. Most of these have been good, some not so good. But it’s part of my quest to engage in dozens of blue collar jobs in the next few years. However, we have never been treated in such a manner as I’m about [...]
The Gnome Cafe is our center of operation for the next few months. We’re working Thursday through Sunday from 7 am until 2 pm. I work the grill and prepare all the food, while Robin mans the cash register, takes orders, whips up the milkshakes and dishes out the cones and ice cream. For our [...]
We have been very fortunate to have our best friends from “back home”, visit us this week. In fact, Jay and Christine flew all the way in from Pittsburgh so we feel a bit honored. We hadn’t seen them since November but it was like a beat was never missed. They had a long flight [...]
I am still alive. Many of you have wondered why I haven’t posted in over a week. And then if you went to this site the past few days it was gone. To make a long story short, the domain, or host server, or almighty powerful Hal had to be changed. Perhaps you understand this [...]
Yesterday we all took what is to be our final visit to Gulf Island National Seashore as Deana was in search of shells to adorn their Elkhorn Cafe back in Medora. As the ladies searched the shoreline, my intent was to scour inlets, the backs of sand dunes, the other side of fences and those [...]
I broke my rule of 350 the other day. That’s the guideline we try to use in traveling; to be off the road by 350 miles or 3:50 in the afternoon, whichever comes first. But since we got a late start out of Tampa, I wanted to make it at least halfway to Navarre. So [...]
It’s been a few days away from here. I never want to bore with you mundane tasks of living or the fact that not every day of this glorious adventure is full of bliss. But I have been busy. Busy in search of perfection in the average day. Each morning I walk the mile to [...]
I received and email last week that a former colleague, a teacher that formally worked with me, would be visiting Disney for the week with her daughter and young grandchild. Lugene C. and I had worked together for ten years at the Ringgold School District until I moved on to more lucrative pastures. She suggested [...]
