It’s been a tough time for me lately. I’ve had to set some personal boundaries and step back from a friendship.  It was really really difficult for me to get to this point because I knew how much it would hurt the other person. I had to remind myself  (many times) that my mental healthContinue reading “Personal Boundaries”

We spend some time each day discussing what we’d like to do next summer, and weighing the pros and cons of staying here vs. finding a seasonal site in another campground vs. doing some traveling next year.  So far, the one thing that we keep coming back to is that if we leave here it’sContinue reading “Options”

Here I sit in the parking lot of the commissary at NSB New London while Dave does some grocery shopping.  Samson is resting in the backseat. It’s a beautiful day, high 70s, and a nice breeze to keep us cool as we wait. We’ve spent the morning visiting RV parks, trying to find a newContinue reading “The Search Is On”

Samson was exhausted after visiting his friends at ProGroomers for a much needed bath on Monday! I spent a lot of time this week nursing shin splints I brought with me from Florida. I was hoping they would just go away during our travels to RI. Or maybe if I just ignored them? But nope!Continue reading “This Week In Review”

Last Friday Dave and I entered the world again: I went to Lakeside Laundromat; Dave went to Walmart. Neither was a particularly fun experience, though I’d say I definitely got the better deal. Dave tells me there were still lots of empty shelves in Walmart, and no napkins to be found. I thought hoarding ofContinue reading “Out of Quarantine”

Well, here we are in Day 8 of our 14-day quarantine. The weather has been cool at night, but warms up nicely during the day. Sunshine and blue skies most days recently. We have been enjoying lots of outside time, even a campfire. It is so very nice to be back! The campsites are quiteContinue reading “Quarantine Musings”

Our travels back and forth between Rhode Island and Florida usually end up being pretty relaxing. We normally take about 2 weeks to make the journey, spending several days at each reserved campsite and some time visiting family  – all planned out 4 – 6 months in advance. And we usually only drive around 250Continue reading “Go North!”

There are many feeling out of sorts with all these Covid-19 restrictions – staying at home except for necessities, wearing cloth face coverings, not being able to eat in restaurants, go to movies, etc. And there are some with great anxiety because of all the uncertainty in life these days. (Although, truth be told, lifeContinue reading “Covid-19”

It’s been a while since Nana has allowed me to share my thoughts, but she said life is a bit difficult for some of you humans these days and that maybe hearing from me would brighten your day a little bit. But you could also just go for a walk.  A walk always brightens my dayContinue reading “Samson says…”

With most of us under orders to stay at home, I am reminded of the importance of “me time.” Please do all you can to ensure you still get at least a few minutes of “me time” daily! Lock the bathroom door and take a nice, warm bath – if you are lucky enough toContinue reading “Take care”
