As a workamper, not only is it important to keep in touch with your family, but it is also essential to me, to stay connected with your girlfriends! Most often, when I am home we attend a performance at the Walnut Street Theater, after a dinner in Philadelphia, but this fall we decided to try something different! Our plan was … More Experience The Glow!
One of the many wonderful things about coming home in between workamping adventures is reconnecting with family and friends. Friday night, Bill and I had a double thrill in that we had the pleasure of dining with two of our children, Matt Buesing and Sarah Moll! We decided to try a new restaurant in town … More Opa!
Very seldom in our life together have I ever attempted to surprise Bill, so I thought I’d try this week for his birthday. We had visited New Hope, Pennsylvania, over twenty years ago and we often talked about returning. I investigated the hotel where we had stayed previously but discovered that it had been renovated … More Happy Birthday, Bill!
With one New York day remaining, Bill and I again traveled about an hour and a half, this time northwest, to Watkins Glen. Bill had been there while in college and for me, the location brought back memories of the Summer Jam of 1973, a concert I unfortunately did not attend but certainly heard about while in high … More A Day Filled with Depth and Speed!
With two days left to spend in New York, when the rest of the family headed to school and work, Bill and I turned northward and traveled to Cooperstown to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Bill had visited when he was a young lad and I had never been, so we took advantage of … More Who’s On First?
We continue to have wonderful experiences workamping although the one condition I insist upon is that we return home in between adventures to reconnect with our children and grandkids whenever possible. Fortunately, our two single children find us and visit wherever we roam, while our kids with kids were both in New Jersey until my … More Family: Where Life Begins and Love Never Ends!
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying good-bye so hard.” These words by Winnie the Pooh are perfect in describing how I felt last week when Bill and I left Atlantic Oaks Campground, after a four month workamping experience on Cape Cod. Even though we left on the tail of Hurricane Jose, … More Never Can Say Goodbye!
As many of you know, we have been workamping for the past seven years and for three of those summers, we worked in Maine at Wells Beach Resort Campground. I was not blogging at that time but have journals filled with our adventures and memories. We knew we couldn’t be on Cape Cod this summer and … More A Maine Adventure!
As one of my favorite poets, Emily Dickinson, wrote, “My friends are my estate.” One of the most wonderful benefits of workamping is that your “estate” constantly increases as you travel and work in different locations and continue to meet new and interesting people, many of whom grow into the dearest of friends. For the past … More Make New Friends…and Keep the Old!
If you’ve been following my blog, you know that in addition to exploring the area where we are workamping, we also do a great job of sampling the local cuisine. Last week we experienced what was perhaps our best meal on Cape Cod, in a place that many would never discover. Our managers, Katie and Dan, are … More “Treat a Customer Like You Would a Guest in Your Own Home”
