  • Catch Up Time!

    This is what happens when I fall behind and I’m about to hit the road again – Catch up time!!! Which could mean this will be another photo dump. We will see where my mind and words take us today. I have been very busy, but my life has felt more ‘normal’ these few weeks Read more

  • UP part II

    Since you don’t hear from me very often, you may be thinking that the excitement and novelty of this adventure have worn off – NOPE! I’ve just spent the last few weeks living a somewhat normal life and I didn’t have a moment to myself. I’ll do a quick update on the last few weeks Read more

  • Yoopers

    Anybody know what Yooper is? It was a new one on me and will be explained by the end of this blog. 9 months in and still enjoying this adventure. I felt it was time for an update: I’ve done so much since I last wrote! This will probably be a two parter, or you’ll Read more

  • Water Everywhere!

    I have NO notes for this blog, so this is strictly from memory. I must’ve been having too much fun to write anything down! SOB comes through again! There are actually beach volleyball players in Buffalo, NY, so I just HAD to stop by. On the way, I stayed at two different Harvest Host locations Read more

  • On the Move

    I feel like I am way behind because I have been all over the Northeast, but I guess it’s only been a couple of weeks. You may have realized that this blog is my way of keeping in touch with all of you, but it has also become a journal and photo album for me, Read more

  • For you History Buffs

    I grew up in the west where public transportation existed, but wasn’t really a thing, but when I decided to go into DC during Grad Week and leading into Memorial Weekend, it would have been idiotic to drive. I was actually nervous about taking the Metro! Whether it was New York or London, the only Read more

  • Two Choices

    I made it to Virginia with a bit of fun along the way. Before leaving NC, I visited another Harvest Host location in Weldon – Weldon Mills Distillery (I really should limit my stays at Distilleries, Breweries and Wineries. They let me stay for free, but I feel I should at least SAMPLE the goods!) Read more

  • Mothers

    Mothers are special and I miss mine every day. I wish she was around to share this adventure with me. I love you Mom! I also miss my kids! I am usually with at least one of them on Mother’s Day, but if we do our jobs right, they grow up and move on to Read more

  • Again!!!

    I am probably the worse blogger ever! It’s been WAY too long AGAIN! For those of you who know where I really am, you’ll see that this blog is about two weeks late, so shhhhhhhh ….. Let’s pretend I’m in Arkansas (and not sitting in the middle of a vineyard in Alabama while I write Read more

  • Georgia peachy Part 2

    Look who’s back! Everyone, this is Melanie. She’s all over. Nice of her to join me again for a few days. Now I’m even further north in Georgia – I had a reservation at one campsite and they called me last week to say they weren’t going to be open in time, BUT they have Read more
