So you traded being a Texas buckaroo for being a Pennsylvania buckaloon.
Last week David Werth and Agnes Plutino came over and Eve made lunch. We tried to do a Facetime call with you but got no answer, so we recorded and sent a Facetime video message. Don't know if you got it, or if the mobile phone number ending in 5553 is still valid.
Hi Steve!! Oh darn!! So sorry I missed y'all! We had really bad internet here until Jason worked some tech magic. That number is still valid -- will go look for the Facetime video message!
I have so enjoyed your adventures: the photos, the art, the descriptions. Gosh, just wish I could sell my house and do the same, but I would also need to bring along a horse trailer for my two horses!
Hi Lisa! I feel so grateful that I get to do this and don't take a single moment for granted! Thanks so much for following along and so glad you're enjoying the posts. Having two horses would definitely be a lot of work!
Hi Lisa and Jason! I am so pleased to read of your adventures. The river cleanup is wonderful of you both to do. Thank you so much for helping the planet in this way. I was thinking just now -- about the little girl who asked you what you are doing -- it might have been fun to invite her over to your canoe so you can show her your lovely art work and give her a quick experience on what it is to draw and paint. When the occupants of two different watercraft do that as a social experience, it is called a "gam". Many decades ago, a quite distant relative of mine, Cecile Pepin Edwards, published some novels on the lives of New England seafaring peoples, and I dimly remember she had a chapter devoted to two fictional sailing ships having a gam at sea. Perhaps you can enjoy that too. (I never met Edwards. She lived quite far away. At that time, long decades ago, I didn't think of sending her a letter asking about her research and how she got her book material. I wish I had done that.)
Hi Robert! Thanks for your "gem" of a comment about a "gam"! The little girl's dad was paddling by too fast to call them back -- and he kind of shushed her too -- but I'll keep that in mind for next time. I'm hoping to get back here again someday and help with the cleanup again! Such a good crew.
I love this so much!
Thank you!
Thanks Lisa, Love the sketches.
Thanks, Tim!

Thank you for sharing this adventure with us!

I'm looking forward to your reviews on the St. L. Tonic watercolors! I've been eyeing them as well.
