Ron is excited to explore Maine. We haven’t arrived, and he’s already talking about a return trip exclusively to tour Maine. Sleeping with the windows open, listening to the birds chirp in the clean, crisp air made cuddling in bed more desirable for me:-). Pups agreed with me. 10:29 a.m., I crawled into the cab,…

Cloudy skies produced a light mist for our morning. Wrapped in my camping blanket and sweatshirt, I refused to let the elements get the best of me. As my friend Eric says, “There’s no bad weather, just bad gear.” With the right equipment, you can persevere through any storm. Ron spent the morning making a…

Sunday morning was blissful.  No rain during the night made the fire easy to start.  Serenity surrounded me for hours as I started my day. Tom and Chris’s grandson fished next to me as I wrote.  He caught 2 fish in less than a minute.  No lie, I witnessed it myself.  As soon as he threw one back, he cast…

Quiet morning by the pond watching the ducks meander in and out of the water as I wrote. Starting the fire required work; the wood was wet from the prior night’s rain. Ah yes, just after crawling in bed last night, we heard the familiar patter of drops on the roof. Reluctantly, we got out…

Heavy rain came as Elsa made her presence known. Sleeping for me was difficult, not Ron. I woke up early and caught up on devotional writing while Ron and the pups snuggled in bed. As the morning unfolded the rain never let up. Realizing the inevitable, we began to pack up in the downpour. Our…

Lounging in the morning, we headed to see the Atlantic midday. Poor wifi made work frustrating. After much research and not wanting to drive back towards NYC, we decided on Smith Point Beach County Park (SPCB) for the day. A half-hour drive away, we wanted to see the campground. When booking this trip, we tried…

“Away we go,” Ron said at 10:22 a.m. when we began the drive to Long Island. Saying goodbye to Cape May wasn’t difficult for me. Ron would definitely come back; I’m not sure I would. More because of the travel involved than anything to do with the place. For us, traveling to CM isn’t difficult….

Sleeping late for the Morrison’s is unusual; we did today, not waking until 8:30ish. What a glorious night’s rest we enjoyed in this peaceful campground. The petite size of the bedroom makes for a snuggly sleeping experience; coziness at its best. Some of my favorite mornings are spent working in bed on the camper. Eddie…

Today’s slow roll began at 8:15 a.m., fifteen minutes ahead of schedule. We arrived at the Cape May Ferry an hour and 15 minutes before our 10:30 reservation. We were unaware we had a problem. Imagine our surprise when the nice lady working the ticket booth responded to Ron’s query, “Are we too early for…

No fire this morning, but we did enjoy our drive to church. Arriving just in time for the service, we met Carolanne and Troy in the parking lot. Mike held the door for us as we entered. Worship hadn’t started. The guest speaker gave us four ways we can control our own victory: Humble ourselves…
