Ada’s Birthday

Ada is seven years old and we had such an amazing time celebrating her birthday last night with family and this morning with friends! This is what we love about being back and what we missed when we were away. It is what makes us continue to call Clearwater home even...

Boston

Boston was fantastic. The city has a strong and endearing personality and we quite fancied each other. Firstly, these New England cities are not really built for Rvs. The lanes are skinny, the quarters cramped, little parking, few lots, low clearance underpasses, one way streets up and down steep hills with...

Coast of Maine

We loved Maine, and the Wonderland Trail in Acadia National Park was all we had hoped Maine would be: A trail through the woods is dotted with wild berry bushes but you have to keep a sharp eye out to spot the tiny raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. It isn’t a feast,...

I Know Why the Gypsies Dance

This morning I stepped out of Benny to sunshine sparkling on the line of energetic automobiles motoring along the highway and behind them, the less energetic treeline of a Northern Forest. We played outside on the grass at the Saturday parking lot of the Warren County Municipal Center where the police...

Ada

She’ll be seven years old in just one month and she is the most kind, thoughtful, sweet and caring girl I could have hoped for. When I ask her if she will get my sandals, hold my purse, or hold her brother, she responds with a sweet, “Of course!” Annabelle adores...

Cassidy

Ah child of countless trees, ah child of boundless seas… Cassidy always struck me as a little Buddah baby and that impression remains now that he’s growing up. I can’t pinpoint what it is. It’s not that he doesn’t cry, because he does. But his general disposition is jolly and easy...
