The Election Is Over And I Still Feel Icky
I'm waking up this morning in a country I feel like I barely know or understand. Donald Trump has apparently won enough electoral votes to become the next president of the United States. What? As a Bernie Sanders supporter this scrapes the bottom of the worst-possible-outcome barrel. We are now a country moving backward in the tide of forward thinking change. We are now a country in distress. I just ordered a handful (because the loss of one or two is inevitable) of American Flag lapel pins. I plan to wear one, upside down, every …
Goodbye Anchovy
My old guy passed away on September 12. Sadly, I wasn't home with him. I was on my way home from a trip to Colorado, riding in a car somewhere in Kansas when I got the call from my bestie (and pet sitter) that Anchovy wasn't looking very well. I trust my girl, Jen. We worked together at an animal hospital for a lot of years; if she says it's time then it's time. I'm exceptionally saddened that I wasn't here to be with him. We were together almost 17 years, why couldn't he wait three more days? I'll miss his …
Views from the Trip to Montana
The most terrifying horse statue I've ever seen. The head swayed with the wind - it's seriously creepy as fuck.
Paisley Park in Pictures
I recently traveled through Minneapolis and being a child of the 80's I had to stop at Prince's place. Paisley Park is now a shrine to a wonderfully talented man who left us far too soon.

Next Stop VARF
I'll be pulling out of Odenton, MD next week to head to Spotsylvania, VA for the Virginia Renaissance Festival. for the next 5 weeks. Here's hoping for great weather and good times! I'm leaving the Inn behind and packing into Randy's rig. I have a huge post to make about the Inn and I'll try to get that done tomorrow.
Homemade Alcohol Drinks & Tinctures
I've been fascinated with infusing alcohol with flavors for a couple years now. It all started with homemade Limoncello and then moved on to Cherry infused rum and blackberry infused brandy. I have a new batch of Limoncello I made this past winter as well as some Cutie infused alcohol and now I'm making Strawberry infused alcohol. This stuff is going to be so yummy. They're so pretty how can you not want to make more? I also made a tincture of Lions Mane mushroom to help with my Lyme disease. My first homemade Limoncello…
Time for Spring Cleaning!
via GIPHY The Inn is currently Untarped because the weather is nice and I'm switching from a giant tarp to a less giant tarp so that I can get some light inside of the van. It's been like a bat cave all damned winter. But it's Spring! The windows are open, fresh air is happening! It's time to unpack this place and clean! I think it's supposed to rain tomorrow so I'll retarp tonight but I've definitely been enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. Now I need to find the energy to start unpacking.
Goodbye Harley
Harley the chihuahua has left this world. Surrounded by the love and lifting light of his human companions. What a great team Harley and his humans have been raising awareness and funds tostop puppy mills and their hideous treatment of animals. This is definitely the hardest part of the bond we share with our animals friends. We are as deeply affected by their passing as we would be any human close to us in our lives. It is almost an inevitability that we will outlive our animal companions (unless you get a bird - then they will likely …
