Bye Bye Burque!


For five and a half years I have been blessed.  Blessed to start my day off with hot air balloons!  My phone may have more pictures of balloons then my kids.

We left the city late, and by the time we made it to camp it was dark.  A true dark.  We are staying with several other families at a church camp.  It is about 20 minutes from....well, anything.  5 years of city life has dimmed my memory of county stars, but these are something else.  

Balloons and stars....hmmm I apparently like to look upwards. 

P.S. ohh I nearly forgot.  I used my bright lights for the first time in 5 years

P.P. and I also forgot about turning them back off.  I just want to apologize to everyone whom I blinded.

 When life gives you a polar vortex, make snow cream.  I actually had never heard of snow cream until I was teaching middle school kids in North Carolina.  As tweens typically are, they were shocked at my ignorance of this Southern treat.   Fast forward too many years to the present, and my kiddos are smitten with snow cream.  Which is good because we are in a polar vortex.    I won't lie, when I heard we were going subzero, I was nervous.   But I figured we would all snuggle up and watch movies all day.  Then the DVD/CD player decided that it had played too much Harry Potter and there went my plans.  But it's all good we have snow cream.  And some insane person decided they should teach the children how to play recorders, so they have been practicing their tu-tu-tus and sounding like lovely little song birds all day.  We are warm, safe and happy, hope you are! Don't forget to turn up your volume!

Week One

Our first week of RV life is complete and overall I would say it was a success!  We brought too much. We purged. We put stuff away.  Realized it was too much and purged again.  And I think there is still more to let go.   We are learning to work with the propain furnace, wooops used a tank in 24 hours.  We brought in an oil heater to supplement.  We shrink wrapped some windows.  Most of the camper has an insulated sub floor, which is great for keeping toes warm, but those other spots need reinforced with rugs, thank you Amazon!  There are drafts, but dont worry family, we are nice and toasty! Cooking is going well enough.  I am a stove top cooker and it as taken me some window opening and fans to figure out how not to set the smoke detector off, but the family has been eating well.  The oven, I haven't been as successful with.  It smelled funny, so I turned it off.  It turns our there is...
