My Samsung Chromebook is perfect for my needs. Only a few things are different from a regular computer, such as saving images. The Office-like programs are slightly different, but I have already been using them and Chrome. I had figured out most of the differences. If you want to get away from expensive, heavy, and…
Tango and I explored on foot this morning, walking a large circle. We walked first to our beach, then east around the tip of the island and along Mobile Bay. We passed Fort Gaines but no developments! This section only has the park where I am staying (run by a Parks and Beach board), a…
I slid through Mobile, AL around 1 PM. This was a good strategy–after morning commute, after lunch, before early evening commute. The disappointment came when I saw my campsite! It was slanted, narrow, and highly undesirable. I went back to the office and told the gal that I could never get level there and probably…
Time to head for Dauphin Island, AL. I have two choices to get there. The first is to drive 50+ miles to the ferry at Fort Morgan, AL. The second, driving 100+ miles, going through Mobile then back down along Mobile Bay to the bridge. This has never been my favorite option, because it sounds…
Thanks my recklessness driving into camping spots, I have already twisted two of my stabilizer jacks beyond repair. Inside, when I walk quickly from one end to the other, the camper rattles. My satellite radio antenna slips from position—that sweet spot where I can draw great reception. Sewing pins fall to the floor and the…
Many medical practitioners believe that travel puts stress on your immune system. Furthermore, depending on how you travel, you will have increased exposure to cold and flu bugs. I know that I can get run down while traveling on roads, trains and planes. Vitamin C and ample rest are the keys to staying healthy. I…
I am thinking ahead to my next adventures. I will complete my 3-month stint at Ordway-Swisher Biological Station in Melrose, FL, on Dec 6. With Thanksgiving, that leaves 6 working days! I will miss this beautiful slice of creation and all the people and critters I have met. Still, I am excited about the next…
Quilting experiments take the bulk of my sewing time. However, I have made some other stuff too! Link for 10-minute block Link for pillowcases (I just wing it with mine after after following the directions a few times). Almost time to start some earthy green Christmas stuff!
I don’t have anything against West Virginia. In fact, the state is gorgeous. The big problem, however, is their love of biscuits. I know they love these fluffy, fat filled, bleached flour carbs because half of the exits off I-77 advertise a biscuit restaurant. Tudor’s Biscuit World: This is a problem because biscuits are one…
Spearfish was a great stop for 4 nights. Lots of hiking, lots of sightseeing.I took the following photos on the trail to Devil’s Bathtub. If you ever have the chance to stay in Spearfish, I can’t say enough good things. It is away from the Mt. Rushmore crowds, but you can drive over to that…
