"Where are we going to today?" I asked Mr. Pinker "How about Grenada Lake, "he said with a grin.  "Oh, boy! I know what that means! You are looking for a fishing hole, " I said with smile.  "Maybe, " said Mr. Pinker as he eyed the new lures he had just bought.  We packed up our chairs, tied on our kayak and trucked on down the road.  Welcome, y'all and Happy Thursday. Today I thought I would share a bit of our camping adventures and one of our favorite free camping spots among other things.  Soon Mr. Pinker and I came to the town of Oxford, Mississippi.

Hello there Sunshine!  How are you , sweet friends? I certainly have missed you.  Mr. Pinker and I are still traveling the bayous and backroads.  We have had little to no service  as we have been boondocking the whole trip. But today I was lucky enough to get a little service for a pop in visit.  For the last couple of days, we have been enjoying some lazy days on the river.  Today after lunch we took a hike in and out of the campground and to the boat dock.  I finished the quilting on the small quilt that I pieced last fall from the sc ..read more

 Yee Haw! Mr. Pinker and I are hitching up the old wagon and hitting the road again. This time we are heading south  . Where will we land? Where ever suits our fancy; we rarely have plans set in stone! We fly by the seat of our pants  which always makes for a great adventure. We will eventually  make our way to the great state of Texas however.   I will keep it short and sweet! As of right now, I have no prescheduled posts.   If I have the opportunity, I may pop in to say howdy, but normally we are in very desolate areas where there is little to no ..read more

Hello, Sunshine!!! Welcome!  A few days ago I was hustling and bustling about in my quilt room trying to find the perfect finishing  fabric to finish Luck Basket. I went through one bin after another with no luck in finding a deep green piece of fabric.  As I was about to give up on this finish, I saw a blur of green whisk by the door.  Slyly, I craned my neck out of the door and chimed, "Yoo Hoo, Honey Pie , can you come in the quilt room for a minute?  "  Within seconds, Mr. Pinker entered the room.   By this time, my wheels were already turni ..read more
