SF bound
Tomorrow I head toward San Francisco and environs. I’ll be driving (my daughter’s far newer car), and have my itinerary set through a week from tomorrow. A chat with my cousin, soon, who lives with and helps my uncle and his wife, will help me sort out the last few days of travel. I’m hoping […]
October 2021 Camping – Days 4 & 5
I went to the local quilting museum yesterday where there has never been an exhibit I didn’t enjoy. My DH stayed in camp enjoying some projects that he hasn’t had time for in far too long. Today we lazed until we got rolling, and despite some real rain, got on the road with little delay. […]
Camping October 2021 – Days 2 & 3
Yesterday we made the obligatory run to town in order to purchase a new grey water hose, and other hardware store list items. A stop at the mixed media art supply store and the grocery rounded out our errands. Getting back took rather a long time as the highway was shut down due to what […]
October 2021 Island Trip – Day 5, Camping Trip Day 1
Today started very early, but with the success of getting onto an earlier boat. Closing up Stella and the property went perfectly, including black tank flushing, which brought out my inner 8-year old boy. The ravens were treated to some leftovers. They were ecstatic! I had time to kill before meeting my DH at our […]
October 2021 Island Trip – Day 4

October Island Trip – Day 3
After heading to bed really early last night (just after 9pm), I woke up before 7, made tea, and enjoyed reading, and catching up on email in bed for an hour. After breakfasting on an amazing GF and grain free granola (with fresh blue berries!), I set out to accomplish all the things. The fire […]
October 2021 Island Trip – Day 2
Town furnished: Some goo that might seal the skylights on the lower barn. After returning to the property, I finally heard from the roofer, who referred me to someone else. I called this person immediately and haven’t heard back from them, A couple more ornamental grasses for Stella’s slope, Some jams for Christmas gifts. My […]
Washerdrier
A friend on the Island gave us a drier this summer. I’ve been looking for a small washer ever since. The one I ordered on Amazon arrived damaged due to insufficient packing. I sent it back the next day, and decided I really needed to buy something I could put my eyes on before purchasing. […]
