#wherewerv, #solTuesdays Is it just me? Do you struggle to just relax and “do nothing”? To be clear, it isn’t really nothing. I had a lovely four day weekend.

(Especially when my kids were younger, the focus of “what am I getting” that comes with Christmas presents made me nuts.) We would each talk about what we were thankful for as … More Camping Gratitude
October 25, 2022 #solTuesdays In the last few weeks I’ve been reminded that there is always more to learn, and to watch for what is surprising. This has happened both when we’ve been camping and when I’ve been subbing, which I started doing about six weeks ago. Here are some of my camping lessons from … More Life & Learning
Tuesday, October 4, 2022 My memory is going. Actually, it’s just that being retired means sometimes I forget that it is TUESDAY and I should be blogging. We have been camping almost every weekend since August. Here are some thoughts about our recent trip. Why does it take being out of my house to get … More My Memory is Going
