Note for the future: My daughter is never allowed near a microphone when the subject might be “me”…

Nelson: “Big City” in a Scenic Small Town Atmosphere
The room is swaying. It’s a pleasant room, and I have to say, for a campground ladies’ shower area, it passes the test. But it won’t stop moving…but that’s not its fault. It’s the 17 year old motor home shocks … Continue reading
RVing to Okanagan Wineries
So here’s my best solution to feeling stressed riding shotgun. She is oblivious to all potentialities and trusts her owner’s driving explicitly. Such is the peace of the zen existence of the family pet. I’m working on finding my groove. … Continue reading

11:45 pm and way past my bedtime. In truth, I had been asleep, but now I stand in my hair-standing-on-end, be speckled state on a Boston sidewalk. You might recall from an earlier blog that my eye glasses NEVER go … Continue reading
Have you Ever Noticed How Much People Wear on Themselves?
