Isn't this picture the funniest?! I posted last Friday about this amazing Auction. In this photo, Kevin pretends to take Larry's pie and what a shock on Larry's face! Jim is holding tightly to his pie. HAHA Larry, me (Charla), and Jim at the Auction. Several of you sweet readers commented that you were also... Continue Reading →
Amish & Quilt Auction, Hershey, & Valley Forge, PA
Valley Forge National Historic Park. Crazy thing about this: don’t put into GPS maps to see where “Valley Forge” is. Apparently it is a town south and west of us and less than 1/2 hour from our campground in Manheim, PA. Valley Forge, where George Washington and the army camped for 6 months during 1777-1778,...

Low Bridge? A Knife For What? Amish & Pennsylvania
Napanoch, NY has the fascinating Wawarsing Historical Society and Knife Museum. We saw it one day as we drove past. It is in an old school house. As we walked up to the door we were greeted by an older man.This place is unique in that the 2 large rooms have these older men as... Continue Reading →
Baseball, Soapbox, Farm, Candy & A Book
Saunderskill Farms is less than a mile from our campground in Accord, NY. This is the one that has been in the family for 12 generations, since 1680. It was our second time to visit this week. We purchased some lettuce, kale, cucumbers, mini peppers - including purple ones, and onions. At home (footnote 1)... Continue Reading →
West Point Military Academy, FDR, & Quilting (Not All Together! HA)
West Point Military Academy. OH boy, it was crazy that nothing I looked up to do around this entire area listed this place! We knew of it but not where it is located. So glad my Uncle Jim mentioned it when we told him where we are staying. The Great Chain was used across the... Continue Reading →
How Far For Pizza?
Travel Day: New Hampshire to Vermont. At one point while driving, Kevin reached over to hold my hand. I said, “Don’t be thinkin’ about Sweet Nothings when you are pulling HOWE!” (Footnote 1) OH my goodness, that was hilarious! Those words just poured out from my mouth. We laughed so hard! I guess I wanted... Continue Reading →
Mount Washington Cog Railway
Travel Day from Maine to New Hampshire. We made a big and silly deal about leaving I-95. A lot of RVers say that freeway is horrible. For us, it was a great road and we were on it a lot from Florida to Maine. No pot holes and traffic was never bad for us. So... Continue Reading →
Trolleys, Lighthouse, Covered Bridge & …How Much?
We found another fun thing to explore here in Maine. We went to Seashore Trolley Museum. What a fun place! It is in Kennebunkport. They say it is the first and largest electric railway museum in the world. Over 200 different railway things, trolleys, trains, buses, etc. There was a trolley ride in just a... Continue Reading →
Back To Quilting – In Maine
Travel Day: Poor Kevin was soaked! The humidity was so thick and everything was dripping. This made getting hooked up and ready to go to another campground very wet. As soon as we got in the truck, he reached back and got the blanket and handed it to me saying, “You are going to need... Continue Reading →
Cranberry Bog, Deaf On Martha’s Vineyard, & Mayflower Relatives
Cranberry Bog Tours, in Harwich, Massachusetts, is run by the couple who own the small farm. The tour cost $20.00 cash, each person, and was well worth it. It was fun to see the older man, with his white beard and suspenders, sitting on the old porch looking at his iPhone. The older lady conducted... Continue Reading →
