For the last several years, I’ve been struggling with a major health issue. My diagnoses include a range of alphabet soup, but the primary issue is a “central sensitization syndrome” called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS).

Opening Day at Sugar
Brian and the sonic response
He asked if he could do a Sonic Response test. That he does one wherever he goes. Jeff, having never heard of this, said yes, looking around for the equipment and for an explanation as to what it was all about. The camper – his name is Brian – said he would just show him.…
A tribute to Charlotte and Wilbur
Reading has been a lifelong passion of mine. I started out young in life, way back in Kindergarten and Grade 1, far surpassing the expected number of Dick and Jane books assigned. In Grade 7, I read 100 books and was awarded membership of the Super Reader’s Club (that photo is here somewhere…). I read…

We drink coffee every day. Usually, two cups, first thing in the morning. My husband Jeff makes it, not me, for good reason: When he and I first met, I showed him my favourite method of making coffee while camping. His eyes bugged out, he shrieked, and then he made me promise to never, ever,…

I gave our trailer floor a 2-hour massage today, with cooking oil. The trailer floor, in one of the more clean areas (I forgot to take a photo early on). Here at Sugar Lake 2 Mile, we have some beautiful scenery and greenery. The deciduous trees are now starting to get leaves and our site…
Sugar Lake: Day 4
It took just one quick look at our view this morning to know it: We have made the right choice in signing on as campground hosts at Sugar Lake Mile 2 Forest Services Recreation Site. Our view this morning. We arrived here on Thursday, after a few initial challenges. We left Oliver Wednesday morning, planning…
