Tom and I have been doing our laundry at Lils Coin Laundry in New Tazewell, Tennessee. A couple of weeks ago, I was working at the desk when a call came through on the radio, “Maintenance, this is campground. Maintenance, this is campground emergency.” Maintenance responded they were on their way, and that was the …

Encampment at Cumberland Gap
On Saturday, June 21, we had an encampment at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. National Park sites don’t do reenactments, but they often do encampments where people dressed up like soldiers come and spent a night or two and talk to visitors about what life was like as a soldier. On June 21 we had …
Third Challenge in Challenging 48 Hours
My computer went bad and the propane lines were leaking. In the midst of dealing with those two things we got a phone call that brought the third challenge in 48 hours. Before we left Ohio to come to Kentucky in May, I had an annual dermatologist appointment at Universal Dermatology. I say annual, but …
Second Challenge in 48 Hours
Our second challenge in 48 hours was more sudden, more immediate, and more dangerous! The Monday after we got back from Ohio, we were working in the Visitors Center. Tom and I were both upstairs doing living history when we were notified that the Chief of Interpretation wanted one of us on the phone. Tom …
First Challenge in a Challenging 48 Hours
First Challenge. The week after we got back to Kentucky after going to Ohio, we had a challenging 48 hours. You know the old saying that bad things come in threes. It was kind of like that. The first challenge concerned my computer. The trouble had started the week before when my computer decided to …
Roundabout Construction
When Tom and I got home from Fort Frederica in April, construction was just beginning on a roundabout at the intersection of Lewis Center Road and Worthington Road. We live on a street just off Lewis Center Road, the next street up from Worthington, so we were expecting construction to begin. In fact, we had …
No Kings Protests
Today, the day before the 4th of July, seems like a very good day to talk about the June 14 No Kings Protests. Although I am a supporter of the No Kings and 50501 movements, I was not able to be a part of the protests. But I was praying for those who were and …
Best Toilet Paper for RV and Septic
I am not actually going to tell you the best toilet paper for an RV or a septic system. But I recently conducted a rigorous, scientific experiment to test between two kinds of toilet paper. Why does this matter? If you have a regular sewer system, it doesn’t really. In an RV, however, you want …
Dinette Renovation in the RV
While we have been home, Tom and I did a dinette renovation on the RV. You might remember that we looked at a motorhome in February that was too expensive for us to consider buying. We decided at that point that we would make a few changes to our current, paid-off RV instead of buying …
One Thing Leads to Another
One thing leads to another. This is a cliched phrase that is also very true in life, as Tom and I are frequently reminded. You make a decision, and before you know it, you are down a rabbit hole. You choose one thing, which leads to another necessary choice, which leads to a third choice, …
