Julie & Julia

For the first time in a very long time I did not step outside the coach today. Our forecasted "major winter storm" materialized as a gray, drizzly near-freezing day. I actually missed the first half of the day. With the pitter patter of freezing rain on our roof this morning, we could find no reason to hurry out of bed. With nothing but quilting on deck for the day, I decided to sleep in until noon. Noon! I haven't done that since college.

It was sure fun!

Paul ventured out in the rain to pick up a few things this afternoon, including a couple of movies from redbox. With our DirecTV out of commission during our stay here, we're opting for some cheap entertainment. Late this afternoon we popped Julie & Julia in the DVD. I had heard about Julie Powell's blog and had wanted to read her book, but never got around to it. And, we both love Meryl Streep. The movie met our expectations. We give it two thumbs up.

Julie & Julia got me thinking about our blogs. We snap a few pictures, write some words and send it out into the dark hole of cyberspace. Why? Mostly we do it to chronicle our adventures. One day we're going to want to look back on our life and times on the road, and our blogs will be here to tell the tale. We do Bullwinkle's Travels, in part, to keep our family and friends from worrying about where we are, or aren't. It's an easy way for them to keep up with us. And, we hope that our words here at The Great RV Escape entertain, inform and/or inspire fellow fulltimers or wannabes.

And, truth be told, it gives the writer in the house something to do!

Will either one of our blogs change the world or make us buckets of money? Doubtful. But, a cute little movie directed by Nora Ephron would sure be fun! Oh, yeah, and I guess that would make us a buck or two, huh?

Meanwhile, we'll just sit back and relax and watch the rain that has now turned to snow. It's really pretty! Tonight the wind is supposed to kick up and the thermometer will start a two-day fall into the single digits. That should be very interesting!

Stay tuned.

Snow huh? We are going to be at 8 degrees tonight, but fortunately dry. Snow could come along next week for us, still not sure yet. Have fun and stay warm!

We now have your winter storm here in Ottawa. Winds at 50-60 km/hr (35 or so mph). Winter has arrived!

Glad you're not freezing to death. If you're planning on spending time where it's cold you should look into the Blue Flame heater. It uses far less propane and according to Al does a great job!

Only a person without a dog could sleep in until Noon. Oh how I envy you - I can walk the dog and then climb back into bed, but it's never the same.

Hmmmm, I'd better start thinking about who I want to play me in "Fulltiming, The Movie". Wonder who would play Alfred Hitchpop? Maybe he would do a cameo. :)
