Is This Really The End?
I took this picture of a water puddle yesterday morning. I had to fight the dogs off of it so that I could capture it before they crushed it’s beauty (they always get in the middle of everything that I do). The joys of having pups that want to be helpful. I am packing up…

The Great Plains (Chapter 8)
The temperatures finally got above freezing today. My plan was to work a shorter day so that I could get to the camper and dump all the tanks and open the shades to let the sunshine in. That didn’t happen for two reasons…. My first priority was to try to get the flooding stopped (the guest…

The Great Plains (Chapter 2)
I have knitted Wookie a couple of new sweaters and I am now working on some winter gear for my husband. He found a trainer nearby to bring his horses to and requested something to keep his neck warm. A scarf isn’t practical for someone riding a horse down the arena, so… I designed a…

The Great Plains (Chapter 1)
We arrived to our new destination last week. We had a few days of warm weather to allow us time to make adjustments for winter. It isn’t easy to keep a camper maintained in cold weather. It can be a challenge to keep the interior warm when the walls and floors are so thin, and…
