I’m beginning to question myself. Pulling back into Lake In Wood campground the other day we found ourselves saying it’s good to be back home. Home? What is that? My quest was that the bus would be our only home for the next few years, with anywhere America becoming our backyard. But this place is [...]
Glamping: glamourous camping; combining the splendor of the great outdoors with the comfort of a top-tier hotel. I suffer from a disease called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). I’ve had this for as long as I’ve known. The symptoms are depression brought on by a lack of exposure to natural sunlight. This is blamed on the [...]
“One minute I held the key, next the walls were closed on me. And I discovered that my castles stand on pillars of salt and pillars of sand.” Being free from the duties of the cafe today we had planned on making the trip across the Delaware River to visit with Ryan and Carolyn. However, [...]
Robin returned from the islands. We bid farewell to Chris who hosted us beyond comparison as Jay was still away in Vegas. By Tuesday afternoon we had arrived in Lancaster County. We have anchored at the Lake-in-Wood Resort, a five star facility, where will be working in the Gnome Cafe. Klass, the owner, was quite [...]
Not every day of retirement is full of sun colored daffodils. Take today for instance. I slept late which I rarely do.

The endless road has given my mind much time to daydream. That can be a bad thing. I usually create ideas [...]
It was just a few more hours down the road into Monument Valley, which is just inside the Utah border. The most significant part of the journey was traversing through the Navaho Indian Reservation. Vast expanses of nothingness and then dotted here and there with a mobile home, trailer, shanty, or occasional hut. I had [...]
The holiday weekend was one of the most memorable in years. The last time I had a visual so entwined with the olfactory senses was Good Friday some five years ago. I was standing high above the confluence of the Potomac where Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia meet. The town of Harpers Ferry had piqued [...]
In case you just tuned in, we started a five week stint working for the California Angels during spring training, which is known as the Cactus League here in Arizona. We’re in the food business again as Robin is a “stand lead” and I’m working as a deck supervisor. She is in charge of nine [...]
I thought it was just the start of another laundry day, but while I was loading the washers I received a call from Tom and Deana inviting us down to Yuma. The talk was of making a trip across the border into Mexico. Los Algodones to be exact. So after finishing the folding of the [...]
