Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Testing the new Netbook

I actually read the user’s manual. Well most of it anyway. Today returned to Prescott for the needed USB external dialup modem and got this sweet little thang working online. Have been exploring what software is available, without the 60 day trial. I usually write my posts up on Word before copy and paste to blogspot. That’s trial software. So am using Works. And it won’t let me paste. So now I’m trying Live Writer. I guess that’s what technology is all about, constant change. Now to figure out how to get Media Player to play the music I copied from my laptop via a flash drive. And need to test the WIFI.

17 more days til takeoff!

Going to South Africa

SWF - Goodnight to a Gooday


Sunset over the Weaver Mountains
On the way home from yesterday’s shopping spree (scroll down for that) the sky provided an ever changing show.

Can’t connect the Netbook to dialup without an USB external dialup modem. So back to BestBuy tomorrow. I may get this to work yet. Actually, will be easier to use as designed for on WIFI, which ain’t around here.

New and Used goods/Shopping in Prescott


I’m not a shopper on the best of days, unless it’s second hand yet I spent the day shopping both new and used goods, some for my upcoming trip to South Africa... (read more here).

MWT - A-piph-a-tree


Mike loves to landscape; I think it may be meditative. And so we have an A-piph-a-tree in the back yard.

It started with a fence followed by a pond and rock work. I believe this to be an ongoing project. Actually it started with the big Arizona White Oak in the untouched back yard.

This is a marvelously dreamy place to sit and think. And maybe have some inspiration, come to a realization, make a sudden intuitive leap of understanding, have an Epiphany.

Lately, I’ve had many epiphanies. Falling in love filled an empty part of my life I didn’t know I had.

Visiting my parents taught me to accept the things I cannot change. More on this later.

View from bench under A-piph-a-tree
The tree of life has always been a strong image for me. I am terrestrial and usually have my feet planted on the ground. Maybe not barefoot like in my youth as my feet have become soft and tender. My arm-like branches reach out to capture what energy I can from the universe. I grow, especially when watered with the journey of life. My roots reach down into the earth for needed nutrients like the words of a treasured friend. I listen and learn.

My Word dictionary: an epiphany is a Christian festival marking the visit of the Magi to celebrate Jesus Christ’s birth or, in the Eastern Orthodox Church, the baptism of Jesus Christ. As a noun, an epiphany is the supposed manifestation of a divine being, the appearance of God.
