I arrived home from my most recent RV trip day before yesterday, pretty tired but otherwise feeling great. Four days in Ninilchik had been fun and relaxing. The 3-day Barn Hunt trial that followed had NOT proved to be too much for my wonky knee. Yay! I did wear my knee brace for added supportContinue reading “Windows of Opportunity”

Asphalt Camping Again
After four days of beach-front camping at beautiful Deep Creek Campground in Ninilchik, Alaska, I have to say, my current location is definitely lacking in both amenities and views. Yep, we pulled up stakes at the beach … or more accurately, rolled the rocks off my ground mat (the wind really picked up yesterday eveningContinue reading “Asphalt Camping Again”
Fish Parts and Other Puzzles
I awakened this morning to brilliant sunshine and a view out my window of the awesome range of mountains and volcanic peaks across Cook Inlet. After a beautiful morning walk with Ronni, I settled in with a mug of hot coffee and a bran muffin to soak in the gorgeous ocean-front vista before me. TheContinue reading “Fish Parts and Other Puzzles”
Flights of Fancy
Well, so much for sunshine. I woke up this morning to the familiar gentle patter of rain on the roof. One look outside confirmed the sad tidings. Although it certainly wasn’t raining hard, my day was starting out less than sunny. Darn it! Fearing the light sprinkle might gain momentum, I chivied Ronni into aContinue reading “Flights of Fancy”
Getting There is Is Half the Battle
I left home under dark, gloomy skies, but at least it wasn’t raining. I planned on driving through Anchorage mid-day for the lightest traffic, which worked out well. My mood was bubbly, my anticipation high. I was finally, once again, out on a road trip! 🎶🎵 On the road again … 🎵🎶 Just can’t waitContinue reading “Getting There is Is Half the Battle”
Bloom Where You Are Planted
Or not … I thought my unplanned mid-summer break would have me absolutely chomping at the bit to get back on the road. I mean, we were supposed to be camping in Valdez last week, arriving home just in time to avoid the 4th of July traffic. I had it all planned out. Instead, I’veContinue reading “Bloom Where You Are Planted”
The Longest Day
I have a long standing love/hate relationship with Summer Solstice. Living in Alaska, we have a habit of celebrating this day of longest possible daylight in the proverbial “land of the midnight sun” with parties, midnight BBQ’s, all-night baseball games … pretty much everything except possibly fireworks. With a full 22 hours of functional daylightContinue reading “The Longest Day”
Odds and Ends- Mostly Odds
I’ve discovered that I seem to be less inclined to write when I’m in pain or depressed. Of course, being in pain is depressing, so maybe that’s one and the same. I tested my theory by going back over my list of the last 18 months of blog posts. It was easy enough to seeContinue reading “Odds and Ends- Mostly Odds”
Trialing Days of Summer
Ronni & I teamed up for TWO 3-day weekends of back-to-back trialing (AKC Scent Work on 6/4, 6/5 & 6/6 and Barn Hunt on 6/11, 6/12 & 6/13). What fun! Yes, that was definitely pushing MY physical limits, especially recovering from a concussion in between 🥴, but obviously it was far from “too much” forContinue reading “Trialing Days of Summer”
Skidding In Broadside
Well … I’m not quite sure where to start. I think I feel a ramble coming on. I have some thoughts to share, brought on by recent events, but having just returned home after nearly ten days of solo RV travel, I’m tired and finding my thoughts a bit disjointed. So, we’ll see how thisContinue reading “Skidding In Broadside”
