Road Trip

It has been a busy week -- getting up and going to bed with the sun ( funny how we have gotten in to that routine living in the north).

The weather made outings a challenge early in the week. Melting snow resulted in icy conditions. Wednesday we tried to venture to town. Managed to get Art into the car without mishap (bootcast and all). Slid down the driveway to the road -- scoped out the driving conditions and decided it wasn't smart to continue further. We could amuse ourselves at home.

To the delight of the men in my life I decided a baking day was a great way to pass the time (I had 2 falls on the ice so was banished to the indoors anyway). My niece had left wonderful scones in the freezer on Saturday but they were now a distant memory so I decided to try to duplicate her efforts. Apple ginger and strawberry yogurt were doable with available ingredients.

The results although not nearly as good as Sherri's must have been ok ..... they didn't make it to the freezer.

While I was busy cooking the men were plotting a new adventure.Loving to travel but tired of dealing with airport security my sweetie thinks we should see more of North America by car. Great idea except hotels are expensive and my track record in a tent isn't great. The solution ----- a trailer. Now don't get excited ---  we drive a little economical car and a motor home is out of the question. No problem. The Amish in Ohio make a "Little Guy" trailer. Holds a queen size mattress, sits off the ground and is totally waterproof.Dressing could be an acrobatic performance but might produce more blog material later.

In no time we googled a dealer in Pembroke (a mere 2 hours down the road). Great ..... " Road Trip". Fed the hens, packed lunch and we were off.


As you can see it is much smaller and shorter than the T@B.


                         
Don tried it out and seemed to fit quite nicely.



The slogan on the bumper was the deal closer for us.(I especially liked it! --- a guy who goes where told -- get it---)

                          

This is the one we chose to take home.




Clever little bank. Wonder how long it will take to save up for a real one?

Always something new to think about.
Plans to be made. Places to experience.

Never stop exploring.
