April 2020 – Happy Spring!
In the midst of the Virginia shut-down, we decided to head toward the Shenandoah National Park for drive-by viewing of the beginning of Spring! It’s about an hour and half drive west along beautiful, windy, country roads. It was a lovely day! We’ve also found the beauty of nature in our own…
March 16-18, 2020 – Laughing Sheep Yarns, Charlottesville and Wool Workshop, Roanoke, Virginia
The Army of the 12 Monkeys!!!! (Sometimes his titles are so obscure and seriously show our age….) The hubs has been watching the Covid-19 news A LOT (constantly) and keeping me well informed. We’ve been stocking up a bit ahead of the crowds, thank goodness, and getting ready to “shelter in place”. (Ed. Note –…
March 5, 2020 – Manhattan, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri
So that’s what it’s called!!!!!! So, the last couple of weeks I’ve been “hibernating”. It’s what I call getting through the dreary winter months of January and February. There’s been a lot of gray skies, cold wind and rain. Still, during this, I FINALLY finished my birthday sweater! (Ed. Note – Honestly, I expected June!!!)…
February 13, 2020 – Yarnability, Two Rivers Yarns & Finch Knitting and Sewing Studio
Well, if you bribed me with food!!!! It has been raining here ALL week (not complaining, I could be in the southeast where they are flooding)!

January 20, 2020 – Gainesville, Virginia
That’s Bull!!!! So, the last time I wrote we had arrived at our campsite at Bull Run Regional Campground in the snow. We have spent the days since then walking the dogs through Bull Run, sitting outside looking at the woods and learning how to get around. I have certainly realized that one city runs…
January 7, 2020 – We’re Here!!
Now, this was different!!! We arrived in Indianapolis late Sunday afternoon and were able to get a spot at the Indiana State Fairgrounds which was nice even though the water was shut off for the winter season. (Ed. Note – Nice in the sense that it was weird in an interesting sort of way!!!) The…
January 5, 2020 – Continuing Journey
Here there be dragons!!!!! Yesterday I spent the day with my great, funny friend, Lisa, in St. Louis! The hubs and I got in Friday night and set up at 370 Lakeside Park and RV Campground in St. Peters, Missouri. We stayed at this park last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. The park had flooded…
