· One week into our annual trip south
· Have used up my data looking at patterns on the road
· Or searching for style ideas for my new style
· I am always looking for my new style
· Currently I am working on one called
· Whatever is still clean
· My husband gets texts from my son
· They share podcasts on the intelligence of mushrooms
· Do you know that a mushroom fed oatmeal designed the Tokyo subway system?
· Don't feel bad a lot of people don't
· I can send you the link
· How could I have not have heard of this before?
· Discovered the state park we are in in South Carolina has a snowbird monthly rate
· For December, January, and February
· Explains the Canadians
· Folks in shorts and T shirts
· Identifiable next to the locals in wool hats and gloves
· Woman a few sites over is delighted to find out that the person in her next site
· Lives on the same street as her cousin's uncle's sister
· Back home in Moncton
· I am in constant contact with my own network
· I get texts of pictures of the snow storms
· News my niece and her sweetheart
· Who is also my son-in-law's nephew
· Are moving into my basement
· You would think I was from Moncton
· My husband is in his element
· He runs this rv like it is his own submarine
· When I step in here it is more like enlisting
· Things are stowed, not put away
· I am seeing a lot of walking around with power tools
· And a happy guy
· Man loves his activities
· Bought himself a vintage sewing machine yesterday in a thrift shop
· It was $8.00 because it was broken
· He actually took it apart and fixed it right there in the store
· Attracting attention of a few older men
· I went to look at glassware
· I hear there is such a thing as food grade anti-freeze
· Don't panic
· But I am not kidding
· He brings me dinner on a tray when I am writing
· Every rv has a dog
· Some have three
· I lie happily in my bed here in my sub under the stars
· And feel I am sleeping in a colony of dogs
· Accompanied by their drivers
· I shower in the bath house
· With the other Canadians
· Thrilled we don't walk there in snow
· The sound of the shower in the rv worries Daisy
· Sometimes it takes 15 minutes for the water to get hot
· But I have the time
· And when I walk back in the dark I look at the stars
· And hear the dogs snoring
