We stayed at Hopeville Pond Camp Ground in Griswold, CT. It is a beautiful place to stay and the staff are very nice and accommodating. We had a wonderful time and I just wanted to say it was a pleasure to meet all the nice campers who got a peek inside my tiny house on wheels. Enjoy the photos and please comment!</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRLGm12OFIas_MgpIHxcMLc6HKkqus9IHtvtm508EvdvBdUcVQi8IXNUI-DWaRwDxoebCUFL5nl0XXV7x9kUQFnoOJyWxY0_yLQGzIvcT_0dMWD13CKs_BtDsWQuTjYXJySt2L54h-O8aRPVdDF-sLfnDTXPhGEA1hD_nTaLbOrXhtnna5Sl-u97BF/s2046/IMG_8355.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I finally made my dream of staying by the sea in my tiny beach house a reality! It has been a long time coming and was so very worth the wait. It was a perfect mix of weather. When I arrived on Saturday, it was blustery and overcast. Early Easter morning with the shining full moon it was calm and serene before the sun even rose above the ocean. <p></p><p>It was time for me to appreciate living in the moment. Something my best friend knew how to do. I wish I had learned it from her while she was still here on this earth, but grateful that I chose to live it on this trip. I took the time to reflect and to breathe, to take in the beauty of my surroundings, and to thank God.</p><p>In this upside down world we all live in now, perhaps learning to appreciate living in the moment is something that we all need to do. Take the time to do what makes you happy and appreciate it for we never know what tomorrow will bring.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzwOUDnCpt2Khf5X_1iPyEP3n2R-KgHRTCBVWY9_WNFSZ6hYDMUMT2L0lCYd9hftFByAhOuy8Zq9OwLcaLOJg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxFsJYQopyfJnvLGHoG20YhjHczXwXTy3HF0is9lvudwDktAaQ38sjFGt3aV_fb7VhskZmH9V50-f5DaLBK8w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />Gailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09723785067384803499noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053087797401015696.post-54624863071985839582021-12-15T16:46:00.001-05:002021-12-15T16:46:20.580-05:00I'll take the mountains...<p> My Beach House had a temporary home recently.

While snug inside by the wood stove, although I love being warm by the fire, I find myself thinking of what I <i>could </i>be doing outside like working on things on the beach house or getting the Scotty Gaucho ready for camping. I write list after list of "things". Then I realize I cannot do some of those outside things right now due to the weather, so I force myself to do those inside things that I keep putting off because I keep adding to my outdoor dream list! I need to just let time pass and do what I can during each cycle. One part at a time vs pinball machining everywhere!<p></p><p>This afternoon, the temperatures got up into the 40's and I took this opportunity to get out to the Beach House to conduct a winter solar/off-grid experiment. </p><p>I've had my solar panel on the roof for about a year now and it is hooked up to my deep cycle battery, charge controller and inverter. But, I also have a heavy duty extension cord running from the house for when I get the inspiration to go out there and read or clean or re-arrange. Recently, I watched one of Will Prowse's live streams and he talked about the life of a solar panel and how if it is hooked up but no power is being drawn off of it through the battery, it will degrade much faster by just absorbing all the sun's rays and not utilizing the power. Enter my experiment....actually it is my second experiment.</p><p>The first experiment was to hook up a small LED lamp and monitor the battery performance during a full week's worth of sunshine. I plugged the lamp into the inverter and turned it on. Every day, I watched the monitor show me the smiley face of "everything is fine". I was pleased! What I did not take into consideration was that over 5-6 consecutive days <i>and</i> nights, the battery didn't have a down time to charge. I left the light on 24/7. On the last day when I checked the monitor, it had a sad face and there were zero's across the board. The inverter shuts off automatically so there was no fear of damaging it. </p><p>On to the second experiment....I plugged the lamp into a timer and I will monitor the results of the light only being on for two hours in the evening and two hours in the early morning. This will give the battery the recharge time it might need during the daylight hours. I will let you know how it went when the experiment is over. </p>Gailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09723785067384803499noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053087797401015696.post-24884090619388901472020-10-04T13:38:00.002-04:002020-10-04T13:38:28.242-04:00Tuckertown.....what a town!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4cdhnvDBUTCR6NN5xdx0FsYpk1wsDtNlp5AF9xVTltv8nO3D1AcqDO_f3uD34Pm0gqw-W6kQFCrokkg9YTEGFd6eieik1mRmIhuHDCqlxvvwR5nxHROrte-_pKcHp-grnq59Q7tqD2LU/s2048/BEBF37AB-23C2-450F-97CC-728403E56914.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4cdhnvDBUTCR6NN5xdx0FsYpk1wsDtNlp5AF9xVTltv8nO3D1AcqDO_f3uD34Pm0gqw-W6kQFCrokkg9YTEGFd6eieik1mRmIhuHDCqlxvvwR5nxHROrte-_pKcHp-grnq59Q7tqD2LU/s320/BEBF37AB-23C2-450F-97CC-728403E56914.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> After discussing the thought of another yard sale, Carolyn Sally and I decided we wanted to have one again but in a different location. Sally offered her yard. We set the date. Last weekend was not only the two day yard sale, it was a time to<span><a name='more'></a></span> gather outdoors in the beautiful sunshine. I met <u>so</u> many great people that even if I had not earned a dime, the time spent there was worth so much more. <p></p><p>The village itself is perfect in ways that I hadn't expected. I've known about it for so long and yet had never had an opportunity of visiting anyone there until Sally moved in. Each unique home has its own nicely landscaped yard and enough room to have a beautiful evening dinner on your back patio or enjoy your morning cup of coffee or tea and watch the sunrise from your front deck. It is a peaceful and secure community. And the people, did I mention the people?</p><p>Although there were so many wonderful people stopping by to shop and visit that I couldn't possibly mention them all, here are a few that I met that I would like to....</p><p>First, a great big thank you to Sally for letting me camp in her driveway! </p><p>Mickie and Jack from the HA, a thank you to Jacks offer to help us out in any way during the yard sale.</p><p>Thank you to Beth, who has the talent of βstagingβ! (I sold my vintage typewriter π).</p><p>To Gina and her parents for putting up with our silly antics and music choices!</p><p>To Adrienne and Cheryl for your wonderful spirit!!π It was an absolute pleasure meeting you two. I have something for you for your paint crafts, Adrienne! </p><p>Thanks to Victoria from Randall Real Estate for the wonderful tour of your camper! Just lovely!!</p><p>Thanks to the husband and wife bus drivers for the entertaining story of how that baseball bat incident broke your arm!! π</p><p>To LuLuβs master for β Best Face Masks EVER!β</p><p>To Steve who bought my maple two tier dumb waiter table....I hope you get those coasters!</p><p>To Michael who shared his story with us.</p><p>To Rowan and her free teddy bear....enjoy it sweetie!</p><p>And, thank you to the one βo-clock Sunday afternoon rain shower crowd for shopping while we held up the tarps for you!!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<span style="font-size: large;">Inspection day for my Beach House...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #073763;">It was her maiden voyage and a white knuckle trip on the highway up to the city to see if I was able to get a VIN assigned to my home made trailer. I don't think I would have made it through the day if it were not for my friend and co-pilot, Kristie. Seriously, I was that nervous. It was quite windy and there were many semi's on the road. Nothing out of the ordinary when you are in a car...but towing a tiny for the first time was definitely not ordinary! We did okay on the travel part. The rest was not so great. I was lacking a few things that I hadn't even given thought to. Side marker lights for one thing. Ownership documentation....I won't go into detail on that part now. With the help of the kind inspectors though, I might be okay. I should know in a couple of days. Keep your fingers crossed for me! </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tomorrow is the first day of March and I am <i>so </i>looking forward to spring. I want to dive in and get back to what I was doing before winter showed up at my door and suggested I stay inside for a while. I want my work gloves back on and my tools in hand. Eagerness is never so present as in springtime. Time to plant things and repair things. Time to brush off the dust and rearrange things. Time to be outside breathing in fresh air. Let's shake out the quilts and hang up the hats and gloves. Let's enjoy this season called spring!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-size: large;">Time....seems like it's what we never have enough of. Getting ready for winter is when we need time to do the buttoning up, the gathering of wood for the stove, the equipment maintenance. Time is a necessity for getting these things done in preparation of the upcoming winter months. Take stock in your pantry, pulling out the heavy blankets and wool socks. Ready your mind for nestling in for the darker months ahead. Stay warm. Time will pass into a warmer season. A season that we look forward to and never seem to have enough time in. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="#August 2, 2018"><b>CLICK HERE FOR MOST RECENT UPDATE!</b></a>The weather has been great for working on The Beach House, and I have been trying to get out there each night to do what I can. It is beginning to feel like I am really making head way toward completion! </span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-size: large;"> And, that is exhilarating to me!! Yesterday, I ordered my <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Thetford-31667-Aqua-Magic-Toilet-Profile/dp/B000B5P9EQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1510085699&sr=8-2&keywords=Aqua-Magic+V+hand+flush+RV+toilet&dpID=31h1He2lU2L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch" target="_blank">RV toilet</a> and <a href="http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/shower-pan-sp200-polar-white/68803&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&scid=scplp68803&sc_intid=68803?utm_campaign=SC_Shopping_High&affiliateid=6313&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwqXMBRCDARIsAD-AQ2gfOPUNgtUVvQ4f8FYNIipiGpxyE21rsPGG-A5OoBBE4ypVOpu63M8aAtofEALw_wcB" target="_blank">shower pan</a> in order to complete my plumbing. I need to do that now to test my connections for leaks (or, no leaks!) to then close in the inner walls. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here's a few pictures of what I've done since my last post....</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-size: large;">My new blue door! I love my new blue door! The color is Black Sapphire by <a href="http://www.behr.com/consumer/" target="_blank">Behr</a>. It is a great paint. I think it really compliments the gray shingle siding nicely.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'm getting the tongue and groove pine up fairly quickly. Once that is complete, I will be "pickling" it....like a white wash. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-size: large;">The bathroom walls have a distressed look paneling as you can see in this photo.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-size: large;">I ordered my vinyl flooring, so while I waited for it to arrive I made a paper template for my cutting guide as the vinyl flooring is one piece! Yes, one piece!! I didn't want any seams and this stuff is amazingly comfortable on my bare feet!!! My only reservation is will it sustain dropped items and such as well as manufactured flooring or a more rigid vinyl?...probably not, but I went ahead and decided on it. I hope you like the looks as much as I do.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #351c75;">With these panels up, this space is holding its heat much better now! I still need to trim out the seams and hang the supports at each wall. But just getting this done makes all the difference between working in a t-shirt vs three layers and gloves, hat and wool socks!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #351c75;">And my new Envi electric convection heater...love it!!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></span></span> <span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #351c75;">After two full weeks of temps in the teens, we had a break in the weather. I jumped at the chance to finally go pick up my cook stove. It is a beautiful little vintage gas stove with oven and I truly cannot wait to do some baking in it! It was a gift from a friend of mine. Thank you, Joe!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #351c75;">But, this is where I like to say that I tend to "put the cart ahead of the horse" more times than not!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></span></span> <span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #351c75;">My original intent was to place the stove with the back against the wall where the window is. If you look closely, you'll see my light switch and outlet sits there. So, for now my stove sits this way. I am sure I will re-arrange placement a few dozen times before I bolt it down. Until then, I'll just stand here and admire it! :)</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;">I've been plugging along on the build and haven't been doing very much updating here on my blog. I never thought I'd be one of those bloggers...but here I am neglecting to post. I understand now how it is so easy to neglect posting as the finish line is within arms reach. But, here I am with an update! I hope you enjoy it.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-size: large;">When I originally put the cook stove inside, I had cleared a spot on the port side thinking that was where I wanted it to be. As all women like to rearrange furniture, I decided I liked it better on the starboard side. So, this is where my cook stove will be bolted down. I still need to make a small extension platform beyond the wheel well where you see the 2x4's under the stove now. It will have a door or drawer for hidden storage.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">It is spring once again and time for me to get back to work.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">Actually, I worked here and there during the winter on some of the interior things that I could handle without freezing my fingers off.</span></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">I have rough wired the interior electrical and had it inspected by a licensed electrician who gave me the thumbs up. I am going to hire him to actually install the outlets and switches as well as the main panel. Electricity is something I feel better left to a professional. I am, however, comfortable running my solar power myself as I did in our <a href="http://gailmaries.blogspot.com/2012/07/cabin-in-woods.html" target="_blank">cabin</a> in the woods. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"> It is feeling and looking more and more like the beach house in my mind!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">I special ordered this vinyl flooring because I didn't want any seams. It was quite the job creating the paper template and clipping it to the vinyl for cutting. I was so nervous making the first cut. But once I did, it was all down hill from there! I still have prep work to do to the sub floor before the vinyl stays where it is. I had to see what it was going to look like right then. And, stepping on this floor with bare feet feels wonderful!</span></span><br />

I know winter isn't over yet... but the two significant storms we've had here in the northeast were short lived. Sure it's nice not to have to drive in it, but it doesn't feel much like winter when the temperature is hovering in the 50's and all the clean white blankets of snow have dwindled down to a few dirty remnants of plowed snow here and there leaving nothing pretty and pristine to look at...only grays and faded browns.

<span style="font-size: large;">By recommendation of our friends at Field and Forest Recreation in Harrisville, NH, my husband and I stopped in for lunch at Harlow's Pub in Peterborough, NH on Saturday. The minute we walked in, we knew this was</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"> our kind of place. Not only did it smell divine, it was a visual feast as well! Memorabilia from ceiling to floor. Lights and gadgets, signs and such. We wished we could have hung out there the entire day. This is the perfect spot for a burger and beer or soup and salad. It is children friendly with a toy filled nook up in the musicians stage area. Yes, they have live music! Such a fun stop. We will be back, for sure.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Tomorrow is the first day of autumn as the calendar tells us. Our world also tells us this in its ever changing canvas. The seasons, like a well worn book that we read over and over again, are predictable and longed for. Throwing that favorite sweater on to take a walk outside...taking in the sights and smells of fall. Getting mindfully ready for the season after. Knowing all too well we will be hunkering down indoors with a warm cup of comfort and that well worn book to read once again. Welcome autumn, welcome.</span></span></div>

Cotton and cashmere...a metaphor for who I am. Simply cleaning out my closet made me realize I am both. It may not seem all that impressive to read, but it made me think about myself. Cotton is my "go to" fabric everyday. I am a jeans and t-shirt kind of gal. It's my work clothes, my home gear, it's pretty much my 365 days wear. But, when the event calls for something a bit more dressed up, I do have my soft cashmere sweater (and of course, my jeans).</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><i>I'm </i>cotton and cashmere. I'm down to earth and homegrown as well as polished soft like cashmere.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Read your closet...what fabric are you?</span></span></span><br />

I can multi-task with wild abandon! Throw a load of laundry in, (have another cup o joe...), clear some clutter, find a lost earring (bonus!), organize that cupboard...you get the idea. This particular Sunday was my "finish up a few</span><span style="color: #0b5394;"> </span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's funny how one certain thing can immediately spark a memory. It is instant. It could be a song you heard, or a scent that triggers a particular place or event you attended. It is memory in its most simple form. It sits there in our brain, just waiting for the opportunity to remind us of something that we experienced. If it was very enjoyable or even the opposite, our memory is at the ready with that one spark to trigger it. I had just that spark this morning while cutting into a fresh pineapple. I rarely buy them fresh, and it is unfortunate because they are simply delicious! (Note to self....buy more fresh pineapple). This spark brought me right back to sitting on a carpeted living room floor with my teen boyfriend while his mother prepared fresh pineapple for us to snack on. She brought it out to us and set it on the coffee table where we sat on the floor. I thought how luxurious and royal this simple moment felt. I thought how beautiful and considerate this mother was for giving us this wonderful treat. Tell me, what has sparked your memory recently?</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Springtime always seems a new start, a fresh beginning. We rake up weathered leaves to unearth the green sprouts of new that were hiding in waiting. We plow, we plant, we start over again. We rely on seasons to carry on. We hope for better. We feel confident to stride forward. Better harvests and grasps are right ahead... </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Spring. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Let's step back and notice...and celebrate. </span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">The year of cleaning. The year of purging. The year of organizing.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's like a resolution, however those are rarely kept. It's more like a determined effort to really, really get down to business and clean, purge, and organize to make my home and my mind feel less cluttered and at ease. I once read that if you clean your desk before you leave work, the next day you will be more productive to start with a clean desk. I believe this is true. I want to apply this same philosophy at home. I am a clutter bug, I admit it. I want to stop being that person. Like I said, this will be a determined effort. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here is my new mantra... "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without". This will help me in my effort to keep "things" at a minimum. Things, you know...the stuff that gets stuffed into spaces. Things that you forgot you had because they are stuffed into those spaces that rarely, if ever, get looked at again. Yesterday, I organized, purged and cleaned my coat rack cubby. I feel good with that start. I won't attempt to do the whole house in a day or a weekend. I will tackle one chunk of space at a time, and feel great accomplishment in that one chunk. One chunk at a time...will eventually become the entire space. Just one chunk at a time. I'll be happy with that. </span></span></span>Gailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09723785067384803499noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053087797401015696.post-16264476955856306472015-12-31T15:31:00.001-05:002015-12-31T15:31:25.741-05:00December 31st 2015....<div style="text-align: center;">
