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!

Thank you for sharing this adventure with us!

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!

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

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.
