Nomad exploring life wherever I am
During the early days of the pandemic, I started hand-sewing quilts to keep myself from going crazy. I started with hexagon quilts, which were easy to do and easy to store away. Quilting gave my brain and my hands something to do, and I liked the end results.
The weekend campers arrived right on schedule late Friday afternoon, big pickup trucks with brightly colored plastic kayaks strapped to the roof. backing boxy white trailers into campsites, and then setting up their awnings and lights, chairs and tables. They are all getting ready to enjoy the next two nights way out here on a peninsula of a big freshwater lake created by the US Army Corps of Engineers, who were thoughtful enough to put a tiny campground next to the water, complete with a boat launch and a swimming beach. Down at the lakeside sites with no hookups, cars…
May 2 is my Alto-versary, celebrating that day way back in 2016 when I picked up my shiny new blue Alto F1743 and became a full-time vagabond. I honestly had no idea what I was doing. I liked to travel, I didn’t mind driving, and there was a lot of America and Canada I wanted to see. Seven years later, I’m kind of surprised I’m still out here.
Just chillin’
I’ve been going easy on myself the last few weeks as I adjust to some changes, but I’ve still been snapping photos of things that help me remember to live in the moment, not in the past or the future. If you’re dealing with something hard, then this post is especially for you today.
