A Change in the Wind

Change-in-the-wind-featured

For almost 14 years C Ghost has been our girl, our home, and our protector when at the dock or at sea. She’s taught us a lot, and sensitized us to pay close attention to the weather, current, and wind. Accordingly, we want to let you all know that we are experiencing a change in […]

Conway, Arkansas

Conway-2023-Featured-920w-resize-first

We again split the driving from Clinton, Oklahoma to Conway, Arkansas over rolling hills bordered by farmland and familiar deciduous trees. We had to take a detour halfway through due to an overturned tractor trailer on Route 40, but we still arrived in Conway at 3PM. We walked along part of the main drag which was […]

Clinton, Oklahoma

Clinton-2023-8

Paula got up early today and called Grandpop in Florida to wish him a happy NINETY-FIRST birthday! He’d already had his coffee and was heading to his woodworking shop in the garage to continue his projects. Paula drove from Santa Rosa, New Mexico to just beyond Amarillo, Texas and tolerated well some hilly ascents and […]

Albuquerque and Santa Rosa, New Mexico

Albuquerque-SantaRosa-8

After a good night’s sleep we breakfasted in our room with cereal & coffee brought in our overnight kit and hit the road. The drive east was still pretty mountainous with interspersed scrubland with junipers and small bushes. We crossed into the mountain time zone just after the New Mexico border, so we are now […]

Hoover Dam & Holbrook, Arizona

Hoover-Dam-Holbrook-2023-12

Wind and thunderstorms over the Grand Canyon precluded our planned trip there today. However, looking at the radar we realized we had a chance to dance between the raindrops and visit Hoover Dam. We passed this up last year due to Paula’s fear of heights, but her desensitization program has advanced enough to try it […]

Las Vegas, Nevada

Las-Vegas-2023-7

We left Tahoe at just about 8 a.m. It was a crisp 47 degrees and sunny and the mountains were beautiful, wreathed in mist and glowing green in the sun rays. By the time we reached Las Vegas the temperature was 110 degrees, meaning we had experienced a 63-degree temperature change from the morning as […]

2023 – Week 8

Tahoe-2023-Week8-4

The summer has gone so fast and has been filled with so many activities and adventures. It’s hard to believe that this will be our last post from the cabin; the next will be from our road trip home. Glenny & Kyle returned to Tahoe last Thursday (8/24), planning to stay till tonight. We are […]

2023 – Week 7

Tahoe-2023-Week7-4

The crew at the house for the weekend became complete on Friday morning when Dacia, Miller, Tayva, and Makai arrived early hoping not to become entangled in any traffic having to do with President Biden’s visit. We had plenty of time for some of us to walk to the beach and the Truckee marsh, accompanied […]

2023 – Week 6

Home-Land-Trips-(2023-Week6-4)

Beginning last Thursday here at the cabin, Glennis and Kyle had to work most of the day so Tommy and I took advantage of a clear, calm day to Kayak to nearby Camp Richardson, just under 3 miles away as the crow flies. As we launched the kayaks and started off, a clear, plaintive, little […]

2023 – Week5

Tahoe-2023-Week5-5

We had Glenny to ourselves this past weekend as Kyle was at his bachelor’s party weekend, sampling every amazing barbecue joint and fine whiskey club in Dallas with his best buddies. The three of us took a nice walk into the Truckee River Marsh area on the backside of our neighborhood. It was beautiful as […]
