Hooray! Our Starlink connection is up and running again. Mike is convinced the problem we've had with ours was simply a fluke. Many, many, many RVers are using Starlink without problems, and so we think we just got a defective dish. They sent us a complete new system. Mike hooked it up with our old dish, and it still didn't work. When he switched to the new dish...magic! And I'm not kidding about the magic. I gave up trying to understand how things work back in the mid-70's when FAX machines first became widely available ...

read moreGood afternoon, my friends. It was a "life" day today. Mike has been outside most of the day. First, he washed the windows. Then he went around, wiping off the whole RV with a rag and a bucket. The man is very picky about his toys.
I've done three loads of laundry today and I made a macaroni salad for tonight's dinner. We're having BLATs. Those are BLT's with some avocado added. If you've been keeping count, you should know that I'm gaining on my goal to use avocados 1,001 different ways. We ...

read moreGood afternoon, my friends. We had a change of plans for today. In yesterday's post, I had us driving out to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park to see the wildflowers. Then, it rained almost all night last night. That wouldn't have stopped us, but when I checked this morning, rain was predicted beginning around 1:00 p.m. Also, it was nearly two hours both directions to drive out there. We weren't really up for that. We'll hold off and go there when we move east next week. Taking that route only adds about 30 minutes to ...

read moreGood afternoon, my friends! Or maybe I should say, good evening. We're nearing dinner time here at the Traveling Three Cats Ranch. Before I forget, I wanted to tell you the Starlink unit is set to be delivered Monday. Yay! (I know y'all have been waiting on tenterhooks for that announcement. You can rest easy now.)
So here's how we spent our day. We had lunch at the Oceanside Broiler in the Oceanside Harbor. This was the view from our table.

Good afternoon, my friends. We spent a lovely day with our friends Debi and Jim. They are members at several of the wineries north of Escondido in the city of Temecula. I'll say more about that in a minute, but first I had some kitchen duties to take care of.
A few days ago, I received an email from America's Test Kitchens with a recipe for testing. It was for a Pumpkin Gingersnap Icebox Cake. Looking it over, it seemed easy enough to do in the RV. There was no baking involved...just a little microwaving of the ...

We'll be meeting some friends at a winery to the north tomorrow, and we'll stop off at the produce stand to get more avocados on our way back. We have dinner with friends next week, and my friend, Debi, and I will be visiting a San Diego quilt shop the next day. So, there's plenty on the agenda to keep us busy for the rest of our ...

read moreGood afternoon, my friends. It was a "life happens" kind of day. We had to do some grocery shopping. Our nav unit sent us off on a wild goose chase. We went to where it told us to go only to find literally nothing there. No buildings of any kind. Just wild brush. Okay, so we tried Google maps and drove right to it. No idea where our nav unit thought it was going.
We left the kitties in peaceful slumber, and they were there to greet us when we got back. Smitty likes his window perch.

It’s been a while, friends, but I’m back and ready to get sewing again. My husband, Jim, and I recently returned from a very unexpected trip to India. We were invited to a wedding there, not only as guests, but to stand in for the bride’s parents during all the ceremonies throughout the three-day event. It was an opportunity we could not pass up. I can’t even begin to do justice to the Indian wedding, so all I have to say is, if you ever get the chance, take it. It was amazing.
But we are ...
read moreGood afternoon, my friends. Did you remember to spring ahead today? And just because I worded the question that way, please don't feel obligated to "spring." If you prefer, you can just sit down and slide one hour ahead. It's perfectly fine.

Good afternoon, my friends. It's 72°F and I'm wearing a short-sleeve shirt as I write this. We haven't seen temperatures that warm since last summer. Certainly it's the first time this trip that I haven't been bundled up in fleece of some kind. It's very nice to be standing still for a couple of weeks after so much driving, driving, driving through terrible weather. The sun is shining, and we're enjoying the warmth.
It was nice going to bed last night and knowing we had nowhere else to be this morning. I ...
