Welcome to our blog. Dan & I are hoping to use this method to keep in touch with family and friends while we're away this winter. You'll have to bear with us through the learning process - neither of us have ever done this before. If it works the way we hope it will, we'll keep you updated with our where-abouts and share pictures. We're hoping that you'll use it to keep in contact with us too. The most recent entry will always be at the top of the page, so if you're new here, scroll down to the bottom to start or use the archive list. Our apologies to anyone who found the Travelpod blog only to have it disappear on them, but this site seems easier to use and like I said - we're beginners, so the easier the better.

Making a mountain out of a molehill

There was a dirty smudge on the fabric over the driver's seat. I'm guessing that one of the previous owners wore a black cowboy hat or else he was really, really tall. I mean REALLY tall. No, it had to have been a hat wearer because anybody that tall wouldn't have owned a Westie in the first place.
So, a couple of days ago, armed with a heavy duty cleaning solution, I attacked the smudge. I soaked, I scrubbed, I soaked and scrubbed some more and I was pretty pleased with the result while it was still wet. Unfortunately, now that it's dry it looks quite disgusting. The grubby little smudge has turned into a huge gross stain! Hmmm, I'll try again with the steam cleaner on the weekend.
