I have an Alienware laptop computer made by Dell. These are known as gaming computers, but I didn’t get it for gaming. In fact, I never play games on it. Instead, I use it for writing my blog and Tom said I needed the extra power for all the pictures I use. I’ve had it …

Praying Lifts Us Up to God
Thank you so much for all of you who have been praying for my mom. She had a mastectomy and had her lymph nodes tested. The doctor feels that they got all the cancer and she won’t have to have any further treatment. They will continue to monitor her carefully. We are all rejoicing about …
Boyd Big Tree Preserve in Pennsylvania
Tom and I checked out the Boyd Big Tree Preserve on our last day in Harrisburg. We stayed in the Harrisburg area an extra day to explore some of the parks. After four days sitting at the loom, I needed a good hike. The Boyd Big Tree Preserve is a 1,000 acre conservation area on …
Gifford Pinchot State Park in Pennsylvania
While I attended my weaving class, Tom spent much of his days at Gifford Pinchot State Park. The park is about 20 minutes from Red Stone Glen and has a lake and lots of hiking trails. One day, after class, I joined him for a short hike around the lakeshore. Gifford Pinchot State Park is …
Leprechaun First Trip, Motorhome Maiden Voyage
When I took my class at Red Stone Glen, we stayed in the Leprechaun at Harrisburg East Campground. We stayed there last year when I took my Beginning Weaving Class, but we were in the behemoth RV. This time it was a little different. How did the Leprechaun do? Well, it is certainly different from …
Double Weave Class at Red Stone Glen
A couple of weeks ago I took a class in Double Weave at Red Stone Glen Fiber Arts Studio in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful class. I learned a bunch of stuff and got to spend four days with other weavers. The Double Weave Class was taught by Tom Knisely, who taught the Beginning Weaving …
Fall in the Air and on the Trees
Fall is in the air. The temperature is usually in the 40’s when I walk in the mornings and yesterday, for the first time since February, the daily high was below 60. Tom and I have been living in perpetual summer. Coastal Georgia had an exceptionally mild winter with daily temperatures above 60 from February …
Moving and Landscaping Companies Redux
In September, Karen and Tom’s moving and landscaping companies got a chance to thrive again. Our first job in September was moving nephew Devon out of his apartment in Cleveland. It was our first (and last) chance to see his apartment. He had a tiny studio apartment in the the Statler Building on Playhouse Square. …
Riding in Tandem, Enjoying Trails and Friends
Tom and I enjoy riding our tandem bike together. We have spent many happy hours on the orange behemoth. One of the reasons we bought our little house in Westerville was the access to the Ohio to Erie bike trail across the street. A couple of weeks after moving into our little house, Tom aired …
Bergman Orchards on the Catawba Peninsula
We have stopped by Bergman Orchards twice in two months as we returned home from our adventure days. We have always stopped at Bergman Orchards on our way home from Lakeside and we did last month. But I didn’t know there was more than one location. Turns out there are three locations and we stopped …
