My birthday celebration couldn’t have been more perfect. It started before I got out of bed with personalized videos sent to me, one from a friend I had only met once seven years ago, and one from my brother in Nicaragua… When technology is not driving me crazy, it is truly amazing me! Then Ava […]
We arrived back to Tybee on Friday afternoon a full week earlier than intended from our vacation. But we decided we’d rather get back to the place we truly love and finish our vacation with a stay-cation. The night before I had responded to my friend Jan’s Facebook post in regards to buying living room […]
Thursday 1/21/16 We tore down camp for the last time for a while, well at least until spring, when we camp on Little Tybee with friends. At our campsite in the Everglades, we met a fellow camper from Virginia, named Bobby. A retired, widowed gentleman traveling in his little RV. We got to know him […]
Wednesday 1/21/16 I cooked hearty breakfast of eggs, sausages, tortillas and hash browns. Birds were visiting our campsite throughout the morning. I spotted a bright red cardinal through the green and brown branches. The weather was the warmest and most beautiful we’ve had during our our whole trip. One layer of clothing would be perfect […]
Tuesday 1/20/16 Cool air is tucking its chill into every open space possible. Exposed skin especially susceptible to its touch. Jagged sticks begin to snap and crack from the glowing orange fire ring. I am standing a few feet away stirring the cheese dip over the gas stove while boiling water to mix with instant […]
Monday 1/18/16 The last night camping in the Keys was the most unrestful. Extremely high winds rattled the tent all night. I think the clinking of metal zipper pulls are still ringing in my ears. We arose early just as planned and began tearing down camp, even without our morning coffee. The girls were troopers […]
Sunday 1/17/16 After my shower I was faced with a great dilemma. What do I wear today? I was already in my jeans and long sleeved shirt. But the sun was shining and the warmest weather I have felt in weeks and I was breaking a sweat. I had been prepared for what the forecast […]
Saturday 1/16/16 Waking up to sunshine has not been something familiar to us this week. However, today I could see the golden glow shimmer on the underbelly of the palm leaves as I peered out of our tent. According to the forecast, it is only supposed to be sunny today, before more rain hits. We […]
Friday 1/15/16 We are definitely operating in “Low Key” Key West style today. Kyleigh had an allergic reaction to something she ate last night. We can only narrow it down to chipotle peppers that were in a new salsa we tried. She broke out with a raised itchy rash on her face. She is asleep […]
Thursday 1/14/16 Rain drops rolled from my tent onto my head as I emerged from my night time cocoon into the late morning. Extended sleep is something that I seldom take the pleasure of indulging in. This morning was different, I think I actually slept about 9 ½ hours…I guess that’s a sign that I […]
