A rainy day in (not Georgia)… Waiting for the rain to turn into snow, as promised by the weatherman, buttoned up in the cozy motorhome, we are parked for the next two weeks in one of my favorite RV parks, Rocky Bayou State Park in Niceville, Florida. Phil is catching up on DVDs and email, [...]
OK! We finally got all the paperwork straigtened out and new tags on the RV, so we’re on the way south at last. It’s really frustrating to sit around two weeks after getting into the RV, burning through our travel budget while we’re still in town, all because of some bureaucratic screw-up, but that’s what [...]
Oops, ignore that map I posted the other day. Plans have changed. Instead, we will be taking the eastern route this year: With possible spontaneous variations, the dates and destinations are now posted on our travel calendar. We had thought about leaving earlier, but between grad school demands, doctor appointments and just plain not being [...]
This weekend we got the RV out of storage and headed off on a short trip to Columbia, Missouri, home of the Univ. of Missouri’s School of Journalism. One of the required courses for my Master’s program is to attend a one-hour, weekend-long seminar on campus, and this was the time I chose to do [...]
That’s what the nurse advised after the x-rays showed I had not in fact broken my leg or kneecap. Coming up the stairs earlier this week I was almost at the top when I came around the corner landing and something went “crack” in my knee. I collapsed in pain and couldn’t put my weight [...]
This summer is really going fast! If you’ve been reading my tech blog, you already know about the Online Journalism class I took online. I not only feel like I learned a great deal, I met a bunch of great people and even got an A for my time and trouble. Several of my classmates [...]
Happy summertime, everyone. We’re still alive, if a bit wilted from all the heat. The temperatures and humidity have been fierce here for the past week or two, with heat indices over 100°F. Thank goodness for air conditioning, but I shudder to think what our electric bill will be this month. School is going reasonably [...]
We have survived the week, and that’s grounds for celebration. I wasn’t sure we would get this far without some kind of major breakdown. However, our first week of physical therapy was not as stressful as feared, and the first week of grad school also went better than expected. That’s not to say there were [...]
Has it really been a month since I updated this blog? My apologies! It has been a busy time, but still… So, what we’ve been doing, besides moving from the RV to the house, includes good things and not so good ones. On the good side, my application to start working on an online Masters [...]
Here in Albuquerque, where we will stay until at least April 24th, we’ve been enjoying a relaxing week at Isleta Lakes resort on the Isleta Pueblo reservation. One of the nifty features of this RV park is the train track that runs past it, and the local passenger train station right outside the gate. We [...]
