It’s been a fun week of living on the farm, experiencing the joys of birth and the lows of flooding. Exploration beyond our corralled walls was actually contained to a minimum from our usual convention of adventurous exploration, flying by the seat of our pants. The expansion this week came from within, delving into the…
The downpour continues, and with it, whistling gusting strong winds rocking our Airstream back and forth. Kinda scary considering that our trailer weighs around 10,000 pounds! With the choice of either puddle jumping or internet surfing, I chose the latter and spent a productive morning and afternoon doing what I love most: internet research and…
Waking up to the sounds of Fighter jet planes was not something I expected in the middle of the country. With a training base close by, the thought of going for a ride in one of those military puppies had me dreaming of high speed flight! 😉 Instead, the day held other forms of excitement….
It’s so strange and kind of surreal to find ourselves picking up again, moving on. For the first time in a very long time, settling down at Skydive Houston actually felt like coming home. So many positive experiences in such a short stay has left me wanting to nest and set up a home base in…
When coming south for the winter, I was really hoping to leave the cold weather behind. Our stay in Missouri had us hovering a few nights just above zero in the Airstream, but our plumbing was safe from the cold. No frozen pipes or water leaks. In coming to Houston, I thought that for certain…
I’ve never really been one for video games. The greatest joy I ever had from an electronic game was the pinball machine that my family housed in our multiplex house in Listowel when growing up. I totally wracked up the high scores and spent many a Saturday afternoon challenging my dexterity and skills with the…
Both slaDE~ and I agree that one of the best parts of this new journey that we find ourselves on is the ability to wake naturally, without an alarm to jolt our bodies out of hibernation. It’s truly amazing to find oneself suddenly awake, renewed with a sense of light and being when the circadian rhythm…
With each passing breath / moment / day, a new beginning and opportunity comes our way. But especially on a day like today, a New Years Day, with the monumental passing of one decade into another, new reflections on the past year can define the importance of growth & change in our life. I ask myself, what…
With a very muddy Airstream in tow, we pulled in to the Waller Texas drop zone, aka Skydive Houston. If only I could describe the supreme excitement which fluttered in the pit of my stomach at the vision of a Pac and Otter, patiently sitting out the rain and clouds and wind. My butterflies are tired of…
slaDE~ and I have spent many an hour driving in our Mercury Cougar, cross border, cross country (twice!), from boogie to drop zone and with no real difficulty or road-block. But driving under a time-constraint with a promise to be somewhere, in time for Thanksgiving dinner, has added insight into the Airstream roadtrip next month…
