Back at Camp

Photo of the Day

(for a print of this photo, email me for information)

After four long days awaiting a redo of our shower, we arrived in Old Town last evening at dark. I hate having to set up in the dark so the most that got done was water, sewer, electric, and cable. It was good to get back here to Yellow Jacket and begin anew our daily routine of walking, biking, and lifting a few weights. This evening we attended our final “rivertales” Friday. We had planned on staying a bit longer but found out last night our first grandchild will be born on the 14th. A breach placement is going to culminate in a Cesarian section, something to the chagrin of daughter-in-law, Carolyn. She so wanted to have natural childbirth but whatever proves safest for the baby. I refer to this child without name as we are all steeped in mystery as to its gender. And that’s the way mom and dad want it. I respect their decision. In fact, I think it kind of cool. Much like “back in the day” when both our children were born without our knowledge of their gender. I ended the evening by taking the boat out for a short trip when I spotted this egret preparing to nest for the evening.

RV Woes

A Perigee Moon Bids Us Adieu from the Suwanee


We had to leave Yellow Jacket for a few days. Apparently our new shower is losing grout between the ceramic tiles. Not a good thing. Not after what we paid for this puppy. Following the full moon we again made the three hour trek to Lakeland. What was supposed to be a two day job has us here now for four days. Apparently the problem went deeper than just some poor grouting. Not wanting a disgruntled customer, Classic Coachworks has dismantled the entire project. They are starting from scratch. Although there’s no financial cost to this, having to roam about all day in a car is not my idea of fun. So, we have checked out campgrounds, looked at other motorhomes on lots, and cruised around killing time while we await hopefully a finalized project.

Strings for a Cure

Give A Gift with Strings Attached

Perhaps you can help my friends in the quest to conquer breat cancer. I’m asking this for a distance family member who has created this magnificent website entitle Strings for a Cure. Please click on the link and see the many famous artists who have donated their used guitar strings to wonderful cause. From Bon Jovi to Les Paul and throngs in between, the strings are used to make jewelry, which you will see on the website. The proceeds go to the wonderful cause of finding a cure for breast cancer. So just don’t wear your pink during the month of November. Send in your strings, and those of a friend. Everyone out there knows someone who strums the long neck. So take the time, visit the site, and be a part of the solution.
