alum cave trail to mount le conte.gsmnp.
our first visit to great smoky mountains was pretty low key. it was before we did a lot of hiking and the kids were a lot younger and it was winter so a lot of stuff was closed. so, when we decided to go back for our first excursion in the rv since settling back […]
back on the road.great smoky mountain national park.
when we decided to settle, it was our hope that we would still be able to travel a bit. so, after two months in the house, we packed up the rv to take a long weekend adventure just down the road, at great smoky mountain national park. it was very different getting ready for this […]

stone mountain hike.with a cousin.
so the story goes like this. my nephew is pretty active in trail life (a scout-like group at his church) and this summer they had big plans to meet up with another group from new mexico for 10-ish day (i think?) backpacking, camping, and fishing trip in colorado. he was trying to train for the […]

rainbow alternate ending quilt.(ie: new favorite quilt).
so. one other benefit of stationary living is that i have a permanent quilting space. i was able to quilt more than i thought on the road, but it was a bit of work to set up and break down all the time. and, there was no room for fabric storage, so i always bought […]

one of the very few pros to settling back down is that we are able to get a dog. we have very much missed lucy the last few years on the road, but traveling with dogs adds a layer of complexity to the logistics that we just didn’t want. (making sure we have a/c when […]
the annababy is nine.
and then. somehow. she was nine. the annababy, obviously no longer a baby, is turning into quite an interesting and fun kiddo. she’s adventurous, curious, thoughtful, kind, honest, smart, creative, and goofy. she loves to draw and write and read and dance and play music. she hates math and compulsory school. she loves all animals […]
