Crafting, Camping, Cooking and Life! (with RA!)

 Hey all! Well, here we are and its my first post for the year. Sad to say that, but with all that's happened over the past 3 years, I'm a bit surprised I'm making a post now! Recap of the past few years... In 2022, we lost a very dear and close family member. It was very painful. Purchased a used longarm in between all the time at the hospital and before the funeral. Lots of fun trying to haul in in my Dad's pickup bed! (Okay, bit of sarcasm but was thrilled!). Had the funeral and stayed out of state with family to get things addressed and planning. But also, no garden. 2023, back out of state due to family member suffered a fall with serious injuries. I stayed for beck and call while she healed. Sad to say that 2023 was a bit of a blur, passed so quickly! But sadly, again, no garden. 2024! So the year kind of blindsided us. Waited for it to warm up to get work done in the attack, but suffered an injury for working up there too long. Couldn't get a lot done because...

Hey all! Wow, could not believe how long its been since my last post! Believe that was back in April. Now into August, autumn is just around the corner and I can't wait! I really haven't been able to get much accomplished over the months. So, here is my summer breakdown. 1. We took our camper and went on vacation at the end of May. We stayed in Charlotte, NC at the Fort Mill KOA. It was decent. We only stayed at the KOA to give my joints (and nerves!) a break to spread the trip out. The next day we went into town and explored a bit. Lunch was at Oh My Soul on N. Davidson. It was pretty good food! We walked around a bit more and checked out some of the shops. Afterward, we went to Emerald Hollow Mine. We truly enjoyed it. Found some neat stones but unfortunately we have not had the time to really go through what we have! But we do have the winter coming...  Back on the road to Fort Wilderness. The campground was decent. Sites are smallish, but not overly cramped. Full hook-up, w...

Good afternoon all! What a week!! Last week was our son Daniel's birthday. We've been spending his birthdays camping and he enjoys it. I think he likes that he has our full attention and we try to do things he likes. For this post, I will just be sharing our camping weekend with you in pictures. I know most of these are the same from previous posts, but wanted to share the park upgrades since then. After we set up Friday, we went to one of our favorites for dinner, Fred's Pizza in Waverly, Ohio. Great food, seriously! We dined in that night, first for us. Daniel played some arcade games there. Afterward, back to the campsite.... We had gotten him a similar cake a couple of years ago and he never stopped going on about it. Loved we were able to order this and surprise him with it. My morning walk on Saturday.... I never tire of this view. So calming to have this as one of the first things you see when you start your day. We spent most of the day playing cornhole. We got a go...
