Okay, it’s confession time. I’m directionally challenged, but I’m getting out my maps of the world. Will you be my witness and travel companion? From Georgia to Gallup, Greece to Gibraltar, I’m determined to go to my grave without taking another wrong turn.
Terry Steinmetz says: Such beautiful pictures! I’m preparing for our vacation right now to the Grand Canyon. And even though I live in God’s country, I love to see other parts of the USA. Also I will be able to cross seeing the Grand Canyon off my “Bucket List”.
This photo is outrageously awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kale? Beets?
Denali Dahlke says: MaryJane this is absolutely stunning! I may have to paint this someday.
MaryJane says: How wonderful to hear from you, lovely Denali. How are you? Still pregnant???? We miss you!
Denali Dahlke says: Andrew and I are doing really well and our baby girl is due in only 7 weeks. I’d love to stop by the farm when we are next in town. I miss you guys too! Great job on your new Glamping book. It looks super adorable!
Sister Annabelle “Hey Sue Belle, nice Montana day to ya.”
Sister Sue Belle “For sure! Hey is that a glamp mobile going by here in the middle of nowhere?”
I’m on the road with Lily, my adorned, adorable Airstream. Headed east. South Dakota bound.
Winnie Nielsen says: Fun!! I just received my copy of Glamping yesterday and immediately sat down to review each page. I cannot wait for time to read it word for word. Maybe that Willa happen over the upcoming 3 day weekend!! Enjoy your adventure.
Crystal Shultz says: If you are going through Central MT (Hilger MT) and want to take a rest stop let me know!
Marie Bucher (ReeReeBee) says: Please give a wave to my family on your way through! Columbia Falls, MT near Glacier National Park. I’m all the way down in Florida and I’m longing for some mountains…especially after our scorching hot summer.
Greetings from the city, Mary Jane! I love your Airstream, and I love the beautiful Black Hills–my native home! I know you will enjoy yourselves and the beauty of the sounds (trout streams) and scents (Ponderosa Pine) while taking some respite. I just received my copy of GLAMPING, which is really for my mom for Christmas–if I can wait that long to give it to her! She wasn’t healthy enough to camp in her RV more than once this past summer, but I did my utmost to help out with their home and garden while she recuperated after surgery. One of the best ways we spent her recovery time was PLANNING A CAMPING TRIP NEXT SUMMER. She also knows I’ve wanted to sleep in a wall-tent on your farm ever since I read the passage about you ‘sleeping in a down sleeping bag under the stars in the winter’ from your book ‘Outpost.’ What I did do after that was to layer clothes, my winter parka, and grandma’s quilt and slept in the family mini-van outside in a downpour…AND, I LOVED IT! THANK YOU, MARY JANE, for ALL THE INSPIRATION YOU SHARE!
Enjoy reading your blogs about your camper and traveling experience. I’ve done that from Ohio to the Northwest, Ca. Oregon, Montana, etc. Fun!
Just past Iversons, on a might past the Y, but before the Johnson place, here comes my sister-in-law, Sandy, after riding close to 400 miles on her bike.
Terry Steinmetz says: How great! Love the story of the bikers. Tell Nick not to worry too much about not hearing Adria–my hubby can’t always understand our grandgirl, Zoey, sometimes either.It’s so cute to listen & then to decipher what the grandgirls really said! Usually not close to what “pa”or “Poppy”(our grandgirls name for hubby) said or meant. But it is precious just the same.
Winnie Nielsen says: Wow, what an accomplishment! I bet the ride was beautiful and quite challenging for 400 miles.
Debbie christin says: Very pretty!
Happy National Aviation Day!! While we aren’t celebrating the holiday in the air this year, we have spent a fair amount of time up there recently. And traveling is no longer a low-stress event—delays, canceled flights, lost luggage …
I have an entirely new appreciation for my parents getting me out of bed in the wee hours of the morning to board a plane and fly across the country. Now that I know what it entails, I have a few pointers I’ve picked up along the way …
This is excellent . . . ! I no longer have little ones to fly with but will pass your words on to those who do. SAVED!
For some of my Geography journal entries, my friend, Alyson Oüten, takes you around the globe, from her backyard in Boise, Idaho, to the streets of Europe and beyond. Today, she is off Bangkok, to sample Thai cuisine and culture. Take it from here, Aly. It’s all yours!!!!!
Renee says: In the last picture, what kind of dipping sauce is it? It all sure looks yummy! (Bet the rolls would be easy to take to work or plop into school lunches, too!)
MaryJane says: It was a sweet & sour dipping sauce made from pineapple juice, Thai chili paste, white vinegar, and thickened with organic cornstarch. Enjoy! They were DELISH!
For some of my Geography journal entries, my friend, Alyson Oüten, takes you around the globe, from Bangkok, to Cambodia, to Spain and beyond! Today, she is off to Singapore at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. Take it from here, Aly. It’s all yours!!!!!
