Yes, I’m still sniveling about the cold. It was so cold Saturday night that I woke up shivering and had to pull the comforter over myself. Then I snuggled up to Miss Terry and tried to warm up. That helped a bit, but I was still cold. I think it’s time to give some serious […]
Brrr! The rain stopped sometime early Saturday morning but the sky remained cloudy all day, making it look like it could start over again at any time. And the temperatures had really dropped! It was 62 degrees when we woke up yesterday morning and the high only got up to about 65, with a steady […]
For the most part, the most part, Florida has been experiencing a drought for the last couple of years, with rainfall averages being considerably less than normal. As I’ve said many times, here at our place in Edgewater it’s even worse because the storms always seem to split when they get to us, dumping lots […]
As I told you a while back, a recent CT scan showed that I had experienced a small stroke at some point, probably back in 2019, when I had a dizzy episode and tingling in my head that lasted for several hours. Since then I have undergone a bunch of other tests, including another MRI, […]
I think we all take modern conveniences like running water and electricity for granted until we don’t have them. Living on Florida’s central coast, we are not immune to hurricanes and bad storms, and power does go out once in a while. Fortunately, the good folks at Florida Power and Light (FPL) are usually pretty […]
This is a blog about catching up. Catching up on the last day of our trip because I was too tired Saturday night to write much, and about catching up now that we are home. As I wrote a couple of days ago, we spent Friday night at the Country Inn and Suites in Tifton, […]
I don’t remember how old I was the first time I saw The Wizard of Oz, but I know it scared the hell out of me. I mean, tornadoes, houses landing on top of people, witches, flying monkeys, a talking lion, and some guy behind a curtain bellowing out orders. I’m pretty sure I had […]
I get a lot of questions from blog readers about RVing, what’s happening in our lives since we hung up the keys, writing and self-publishing, and all kinds of other things. While I try to answer all of them individually, sometimes I also share some here. Q. At one of your rallies in Ohio there […]
It’s a product that has fallen out of favor with the public over the years for good reason, but for generations tobacco was an important cash crop for small farmers and sharecroppers just trying to make a living. The Ohio Tobacco Museum in the friendly little Ohio River town of Ripley, tells the story of […]
Yesterday was a family day. Which means, of course, that it was a very good day. How could it not be? I was surrounded by beautiful women, had a great dinner, and there was cake for dessert! We started the day fighting with the terribly slow Verizon internet signal, which seems to get worse every […]
Whatever happened to April showers bringing May flowers? Last night it was snowing here at Tiffany’s place, a few miles outside of Show Low, Arizona and the temperature was down in the low 30s overnight. Today the high will be just over 60, and depending on which weatherman you choose to believe, it will be […]
We slept in yesterday morning and then spent a while catching up on the backlog of e-mail that had piled up while we were gone all day Thursday at the VA hospital. Even after deleting all of the forwards and spam, I still had almost 100. I think I need a secretary. About 2 p.m. […]
