Sigh. Just no words. It's 25 degrees and we have snow. I moved our newly purchased garden plants (what haven't been planted) into the garage and then covered the pots with heavy plastic. I hope it is enough. We'll have a high of 40 degrees today so hopefully the plants will warm up, or… Continue reading Blood Moon? What Blood Moon, We Have Snow!
I’m Diving Into the Motor
Hi Everyone! My hands are covered in black soot, grease and who knows what. I spent a few hours last night taking off the motor and opening it up. Unfortunately my hands were too gross to hold the camera and get some pictures of the inside of this motor. It took a little muscle to… Continue reading I’m Diving Into the Motor
Friends, Please Don’t Let Your Freinds Sew Sheep
Bah Bah Black Sheep Have You Any Wool? Or, what in the world were they sewing on this Featherweight? Yeah, I know. Totally gross. Full view, this is even after I cleaned it up a bit. It was about this point I thought I better get my camera, this is one for the books and… Continue reading Friends, Please Don’t Let Your Freinds Sew Sheep
A Tale of Two Feathers
Hi Friends! Oh, it's been such a long time since I've purchased a sewing machine, ANY sewing machine! I'll back up here a sec and explain why I've got this purchase on the mind. You see, I've been thinking a lot about our trailer this past winter, thinking about where we are going and what kind… Continue reading A Tale of Two Feathers

Cruising the Caribbean Day 7 – Final Day at Sea and Coming Home
Leaving Mexico we headed back to the ship. We boarded the ferry to take us to Cozumel where our Cruise Ship was docked... ...next to the Serenade of the Seas. Look how much bigger the Oasis is... We headed out to sea first, then the Serenade, followed by the other ships that were in port.… Continue reading Cruising the Caribbean Day 7 – Final Day at Sea and Coming Home
Cruising the Caribbean Day 6 – The Mayans of Chichen Itza!
Welcome to Cozumel! The sun was just coming up over the horizon as we approached the small island of Cozumel, Mexico. This was going to be a VERY long day for us. Our shore excursion this day was to travel inland to a place called Chichen Itza and we needed to get started right away!… Continue reading Cruising the Caribbean Day 6 – The Mayans of Chichen Itza!
Cruising the Caribbean Day 5 – At Sea!
Day 5 of our Caribbean Cruise had us at sea once again. Captain Patrick set our course heading towards Cozumel, Mexico! I woke early to see the sunrise and take pictures of the ship. I was at the back of the ship. Below is a photo looking down at the pool theater. ...a bird's eye view of… Continue reading Cruising the Caribbean Day 5 – At Sea!
Cruising the Caribbean Day 4 – Jamaica!
Ah, Jamaica! I remember commercials in the 1980's... "Come to Jamica!", with Reggae music, Steel Drum Bands and happy people dancing, blue waters of pristine beaches. Pleasantly, I found the people of Jamaica some of the most friendliest and happiest people, even if some of their surroundings were not up to the promise of those 1980's… Continue reading Cruising the Caribbean Day 4 – Jamaica!
Cruising the Caribbean Day 3 – Labadee, Haiti!
I woke up early to watch the ship come into port. It was twilight, the sun brimming just over the horizon and the moon still shining bright upon the water when the faint shadow of mountains could be seen... We would be there soon. Jim and I decided to stroll the ship in search of some coffee. In… Continue reading Cruising the Caribbean Day 3 – Labadee, Haiti!
