About Us
October 23, 1959: from Skus on the West Coast to Debby on the East Coast:
“…the time I miss you most of all is looking at pictures of places that I expect to visit next year with you. Now that I have found someone who likes to see new things and places, I want to get going. There are so many places to visit on weekends after we are married that we should never get bored as long as we continue to find enjoyment in seeing new places together. I hope that this enjoyment will last all our lifetimes…”
Over the Cross-Cascades Highway in Washington 
Fire tower, moved from its mountain location as a point of interest on Washington highway. 
On the Alaska Highway, a remnant from constructions days. 
The blue bell; it bowed too low for a photo and I had to hold it facing the camera. 
Beaver swimming toward our camp on the Alaska Highway. 
Wheat pile in Eastern Washington. 
Eastern Oregon and Ponderosa Pines. 
We enjoyed dancers on the ship and at most Central American ports. 
Sunset on the Mojave Desert. 
Eureka, Nevada. From the front, it appears to have been a substantial, perhaps even elegant home. 
Dawson Creek: Starting on the Alaska Highway. 
Our cruise route on the M.S. Statendam, generally following Will Hobby from Panama up the West Coast. 
Memorial in the graveyard at the Manzanar Internment Camp, California. 
Tufa Garden near Lovelock, Nevada. 
Bridge to a nature preserve in British Columbia. 
Moonrise over the Mojave. 
Following Lewis and Clark in Montana. 
Velvet, the Inspector. She must have counted every nail in the rafters while we built our home. 
Skus framing up our closet. 
I painted grapevines for panels around our front door. 
Books… 
Education isn’t wasted! 
“And they shall plant grapes and eat their fruit…” 
Skus and his fresh bread.
The little Road says “go.”
Josephine Preston Peabody
The little House says “stay,”
And oh! It’s bonny here at home
But I must go away.
The little Road, like me
Would seek, and turn, and know,
And forth I must to learn the things
The little Road would show.
Skus is the gardener, but we share cooking, and grocery shopping together is recreation.
October, 2018
We’ve never yet been bored either in the House or on the Road. We love children and grandchildren on a 2000-mile path. We enjoy sunrise and sunset, moonrise and starlight, international recipes and internet wanderings at home. And we feel good together.
