Scruffy has never met a stranger. He has become an important part of our family. He has a gift, he adopts people wherever he goes. He has never met a stranger. He has become the official mascot of the Roanoke chapter of the Southern Cruisers Riding Club. Scruffy logged about 400 miles at the national…

New/Old Hobby
I am suffering from CGAS!!! Can’t Go Anywhere Syndrome!!!! Although we have taken the RV out a few times this year, we have had to be extra careful in order to maintain our shelter in place and social distancing. We took the RV up to West Jefferson, NC. In order to ride ‘The Snake’ on…
Mindfulness Timeout
As we approach the summer solstice, I find myself still working from home, and our world still topsy-turvy, due to COVID-19. What is the new normal anyway? We all wear masks and gloves, shopping is primarily done online, or we are utilizing store pickup options. Eating out? Not really. Some have opened with curbside or…
Living My Best Life
First trip out post COVID-19 after no real trips since last fall. Life sometimes gets in the way, we knew we were putting things on hold while we prepped our house to sell. That project took longer than expected, but we did meet our goal and list in the first quarter of 2020. We really…
Pre Mardi Gras
I felt like I was on system overload this past week. There are so, so, many flashy, shiny things in New Orleans, the party never seems to end. I truly enjoyed staying here albeit just a short stint. Such a colorful town inside and out, the people in their costumes sing, dance, and play the…

Aside from the traditional holidays, you can always find something more obscure, unique. I recently discovered that there is a ‘beautiful’ day. Who knew? Beautiful…
Staging To Sell

Logging 1,000 Miles
Riding the Blue Ridge Parkway and then some.
Festival Season
October is rapidly coming to an end. At the beginning of the month I had all these ideas for things to do but between laying tile, a trip to West Virginia for a family memorial service, and a work trip, I feel like I haven’t had a chance to do anything for fun. I haven’t…
Oconaluftee Island Park
Day three of our Cherokee trip we stayed in town exploring the shops and museums. Hard to shop with Scruffy in tow but I am not one to buy all the touristy trinkets. I like to collect the pennies you can engrave, patches for our vests, Harley Davidson poker chips and of course postcards. The…
