Today I want to make a few observations about life and aging. They are not profound or even particularly important. As an introvert, I have lots of conversations in my head, and these are a few of the observations I have made from the conversations with myself. First, why does one side of my face …

2022 Visitors to the Golden Isles
Tom and I didn’t get as many visitors to the Golden Isles in 2022 as we have in the past. Wendy and Ron were going to spend all of January on Amelia Island, close to us, but they had to cancel because of work responsibilities. John and Jackie were going to come down but John …
Steve and Kathy Come to Visit St. Simons Island
Last week my brother and his wife, Steve and Kathy, came to visit us on St. Simons Island. It was Steve’s spring break and he had never traveled anyplace warm before for spring break. They arrived on the island on Tuesday afternoon and left on Thursday morning, so it wasn’t a long visit. But we …
Racial Bias in Cell Phone Technology
I recently started thinking about racial bias in cell phone technology. This isn’t something that I would have considered, being covered by white privilege. But, during the Super Bowl, there was a commercial for the Google Pixel 6. One of the advantages to this new camera is new technology that gets skin tones of non-white …
Blue Water Pottery in Bellingham, Washington
My favorite deep dish pie plate that I have been using for years recently developed a crack. I use this pie plate every time I do living history cooking or make a pie. It is the perfect size to fit inside the baking kettle (dutch oven) and holds rolls, a small cake, or a fruit …

St Marys Submarine Museum in Georgia
Last week on our adventure day, Tom and I headed to the St Marys Submarine Museum in St Marys, Georgia. The Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base is located in St Marys, so it seems like the perfect place for a museum. Tom and I have seen just about every submarine movie ever made, so this …
RV Lifestyle Interview: We’re Famous! (not really)
In December Tom and I were interviewed by Mike and Jennifer Wendland of RV Lifestyle. Mike and Jennifer started a blog about RVing when they retired and now they have a business as RV influencers. Not only do they have a big website, but they also have a blog, an RV Podcast, an RV Lifestyle …
State of the Blog (not Union) Address
Every year our president gives a State of the Union Address. This year I thought I would write a state of the blog address. I have to admit, I don’t pay much attention to the State of the Union Address. For the most part, the State of the Union Addresses haven’t been very memorable. Inaugural …
Dry as Dust Cookies, but Delicious!
I had a Christmas cookie mishap this year: the cookies looked great but were as dry as dust. Jackie got me a cookie press last year for a Christmas present and I was eager to try it out. I thought about making heart cookies for Valentine’s Day. But I didn’t get around to it. Then …
