Adjustments

It’s been nearly two months since my last post.  Since then, we’ve moved into the apartment in Baltimore and parked our RV in PA for the winter.  It’s been bittersweet.  On one hand, I’m relieved that I don’t have to spend this winter chipping ice off the fresh water lines or using the hair dryer [.

Changes

Things have moved very quickly since my last post.  In fact, the night I made my last post, I was perusing Craigslist, and I found an ad from a young woman who was trying to get out of her lease, so she needed someone to take over her apartment.  The location was right, the price [...]

I spoke too soon

Just a few days after my last post, I got a call from Texas.  My Uncle James passed away. He and my father worked and lived together their entire lives, so he was like a second father to me.  We drove to and from the funeral — a 3,600-mile round trip — in my little [...]

Finally, things are settling down…I hope

So, since I last updated, we’ve had a massive lightning storm, an earthquake, and a hurricane.  We’ve come through them virtually unscathed.  The lightning storm that hit us on Sunday, August 21 was scary, and I think it was responsible for killing our stereo.  The surround sound system has a built

Summer of …

So here it is, our next-to-last day in Pennsylvania before heading home to Baltimore early Saturday morning, and I find myself reflecting on the past seven weeks.  As I do, I discover some recurrent themes. Summer of the cache Obviously, geocaching has been the centerpiece of this trip.  I knew star

Summer 2011 RV Trip – Days 41-45

So we’re in the final few days of our trip, and I’m still in denial about having to return to work. I should be reading and preparing lessons, working on my online courses, but I’m not. To do that is to admit the end of summer, and I’m not ready to let it go just [...]

Summer 2011 RV Trip – Days 27-40

A lot has happened in the two weeks since I last posted.  Let’s see if I can summarize. Friday, July 22- Sunday, July 24 We drove up to Toronto, crossing into Canada at Buffalo’s Peace Bridge on Friday afternoon, arriving at our hotel around 10 p.m. or so.  We called up Lex’s friend, Gerry, to [...]

Summer 2011 RV trip — days 19-26

Bad blogger!  I haven’t posted for an entire week.  It’s gotten hot, and I’ve gotten lazy as a result.  That’s not to say we haven’t been busy, though.  A lot of miles have been put on the truck in the past week. Wednesday, July 13 and Thursday, July 14 I was feeling unmotivated during the [...]
