Where are you going? they ask.
Where is this trip to?
Where did you go yesterday?
Where are you going tomorrow?
There always is a destination, of course,
a goal,
a theme,
a conference,
a wedding,
friends to visit,
a train ride …
Yet, it’s not so much the where that matters,
as what will I see and do on the way?
Not just a camel statue in […]

Dolphin: Friends? Hmph! I don’t have friends; I’m above that. I will admit I was mildly interested in “Mama Cat,” who was walking on harness and leash outside my window this afternoon. She didn’t do anything interesting, of course. The closest I come to “friends” is when children spot me on the dashboard. They stand […]

I sold (and signed) books at the Mitchell (SD) KOA last night, from 4-9 p.m. This made me privy to all sorts of conversational interchanges.
A couple from Germany, and their RV had German plates: It seems there’s a container-type ship that does nothing but transport RVs from Europe to Baltimore and back. Expensive? You bet! […]

God’s gift of travel, so much to write about—
Two tourist trains, and they both had sun;
A double-arching rainbow, symbol of God’s promises;
I’ll rest content, when my trip is done.
So much to see as I travel on the continent:
Lots of silly statues (I do have fun!);
Scenery, […]

Driving through South Dakota, I could see the land was in flood, with ponds that clearly weren’t usually ponds (clue: tree tops in them). The grass on the edges looked like commas, bent against the wind.
I used my GPS to find the Surveyors’ […]

After our night of hail, it was good to see plain gray skies this morning! And the sun did come out later, with a breeze so it wasn’t too muggy.
I drove into Fargo and found the zoo from the directions the KOA people gave me. It’s a nice zoo! You’re greeted at the entrance by […]

Whether the weather be cold, or whether the weather be hot,
Whether the weather be fair, or whether the weather be not,
We’ll weather the weather, whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not!
{old Girl Scout song}
Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and […]

I left my Stonewall campground and found my way to Inkster Boulevard in Winnepeg with no trouble at all. A sweet trainman was in the parking lot and suggested I turn around and park behind a tour bus, which he guided me in doing.
Packed […]

What would I do if I had an island, an island just for me: a snug little cabin made of logs with room for me and the cat and dog, a fire laid all ready to light for warmth and comfort in the night, shelves […]

Driving east out of Kenora, I was distracted from the road by all the lakes, fingers of lakes, little wooded islands in the lakes, wandering streams, lakes so small as to be mere pools—oh, wow!
Stopped at Fort Vermilion, which is a gentle […]
