now that we are (stuck) back in winston-salem, we are back to figuring out how to spend various holidays. i was determined to spend christmas in the stupid new house, because the ONLY time i ever missed having a house while we were on the road was christmastime. so, that made thanksgiving a perfect time […]

girls weekend to batavia.
bear with me as i attempt to play blog catchup and remember details about events that happened long ago and far away. at some point in september, the girls and i took a spontaneous trip to batavia, to visit my mom while my stepdad was out of town. my sisters planned to come out for […]
a kitten and baby themed trip to batavia.
we weren’t home in winston-salem for very long before we took off (in the car only) to batavia new york for a little visit. we had planned the trip when we still thought we would go back on the road and it was looking like the only chance to see my baby brother’s brand new […]
batavia, new york christmas. 2018.
since we were back on the east coast for the holidays, and derek’s family was all departing for different locations, we decided we would take this mess up north, to spend christmas with my family in western new york. so, on the friday evening before christmas, we packed up the camper and dropped it off […]
christmas detour.

letchworth. week 2.
our second week at letchworth was a little more low-key than the first. after all of the weekend campers cleared out, we took over the bathroom to get this grubby kid all cleaned up. since the showers only blast scalding hot water, we opted for the sink. we went to warsaw, to laurie’s diner or […]

may 17th.
well. we are in batavia now. and i’ll post a generic post about that soon. but first. allow me to post about may 17th. it began, with a little drive to medina, to visit a toy train museum. which is apparently owned by the one and only “fireman marty”, a local fireman, who used to […]
class of 1994. 21 years.
the whole reason we went back to wny in the middle of the school year is because of my 21st reunion. we tried to have one last year. but the organizer was all passive aggressive and got mad at everyone and abandoned her planning and the group that took over wasn’t left with enough time […]
