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.

Snow slows us down

The plan for today was to pack the van with everything except the perishables. Then it started to snow - and it's still snowing - and neither of us feels like going out in it. You'd think the snow would motivate us to get ready to leave, but it's having the opposite effect. It's just too depressing. Maybe later...
Meanwhile, I've managed to make a sleeping bag liner. The sewing machine & I aren't good friends at the best of times, but now the needle has decided to shift to the side making it difficult to see where I'm sewing. I managed though. In fact if I'd thought that it would go as smoothly as it did, I might have bothered to change the thread to match the sheets, but I just assumed that I'd be doing a practice run first. The hardest part was trying to stop Dan from trying to fix the machine in the middle of the project! Back off - it's working!
