When are you gonna come down?When are you going to land?

Rainy Day blues
I have decided to change my format of my blogs. Keeping it simple. One photo, a tid-bit of information and a personal connection. Nothing more, nothing less. Willie Nelson sings that “If you don’t like this rainy weather you better pack your bags and move.” The wind howls and screams past our little home, rocking…
Wanderlust
Wanderlust settles in me like a too tight favorite jacket. I’m excited about wearing it, but it pinches all the same. School wraps up this week and the countdown begins.

It was a quaint, meaning tiny, little gas station. We pulled in and decided to have some lunch and a much-needed…
Boondocking and Internet
Current Temperature: 57 degrees Current Location: Ellsworth, Maine Current Campground: Seawall Campground Acadia National Park I will keep this short as we are sitting in a Laundromat waiting for clothes to dry. One of the problems with camping, especially boondocking, is the lack of internet opportunities. No, we do not have a hotspot. If we…
