Your great vacation
Comments (15)Absolutely, Larry! Day trips, stay-cations, are perfectly wonderful. We spent heavily on 'the big' vacation last summer, though the memories are cherished. For this year, we've reserved a site for camping 3 different weekends, 2 in May, one in July, which will cost about 1/6 of the big trip last year - for all 3 of these camping trips. If your state parks have camping, it should be very reasonable. State parks in FL (where we like to go, we're less than 20 miles from the border) charge $24 for most camp sites. There's no restaurants to tempt us with $25+ plates, which we always go for when out in a hotel. It's just us, the beach, and whatever we bring with us. We did finally go to Raleigh last weekend. Romantic notions of taking pictures of quirky roadside attractions quickly vanished. Holy cow I'd forgotten how crowded it is in that part of the country. The 'scenic route' we tried between Charlotte and Raleigh was totally bogus, and full of traffic lights and big rig trucks, no more pleasant or bucolic than I-85. Loved visiting the people, but driving around Raleigh is not something I had any interest in until/unless we got hungry and wanted to go to a museum. Life's way too short to spend it sitting at traffic lights like those. I spent more time at those lights last weekend than I have in the whole past year living here. That's one thing we love so much about New Orleans (and camping, for that matter.) Park the car when we get there, then it doesn't move again until it's time to go home. What are folks' plans for this year?...See More7/10 seedlings
Comments (1)Very nice seedlings, especially the last one. I know what you mean about breaking off a bud or scape. Makes me mad when I do it and I do it every year to a couple of them. Nancy VB...See MoreSo I picked my first ripe tomato (there's more)
Comments (7)So we were out picking yellow squash yesterday. I picked one, turned around, and repo dog did her best "I'm a good girl, see how good I sit, now please feed me what you have!" --waggy tail and all. I said, "Are you really serious? You want to eat yellow sqash? *waggy tail*. So I gave her a yellow squash. She ate it. Then later she ate my cantaloupe rind. she is a weeeeeird dog. :)...See MoreOh, gosh.

Comments (27)I agree, kswl! (And thank you!) I think DH and I were so used to living in a cluttered, crowded cottage for so many years that our tendency is still to think, "Oh, we can find a place for that." We are coming to terms with the fact that we don't HAVE to fill every nook and cranny; in fact, to try to do so would be all wrong in this house. There's definitely a learning curve here, and we're still climbing. ;-)...See MoreOutsidePlaying
