Learning to blog

For the past 24 hours I've been trying to comment on comments to my blog.  Perhaps all I can do is make posts to it.  You are all free to give me instruction or advice in this matter.

Today was busy stocking our little No Name Yet trailer with food stuffs.  Quite a chore because there are so many restrictions as to what we can take across the border.  Basically, if it's fresh, can it!  We'll be making Kroger one of our first stops in Redford.

As you can read so far there are 3 nominations for our trailer's name.  "Prarie Schooner", my own, which I just threw out there to get the ball rolling.  "Joy Ride" from my friend Rosy, is perfect because I am filled with JOY when I enter our little home away from home.  The name is short, catchy and self-explanatory.

The 3rd entry "Rocinante" is from my nephew, Don.  How did you know, Don?  I have a tattered copy of Travels with Charley on the table next to my desk.  I read it in high school and ever since then  have wanted to travel in a trailer, getting off the beaten path, meeting the people, getting to know the country.  I had put that dream on hold for many years.  Forgotten about it, in fact. 

Last year when Ted and I started talking about living the RV life, Steinbeck's book came back to mind.  I realized that I didn't want to buy a huge rig and plant it in the south for the winter.  No!  I wanted to get a smaller trailer, tow it behind a pick up, and head off with not much of a plan other than seeing those places I had never seen in this great North American Continent.

That makes "Rocinante" perfect.  Now I am not proclaiming it as winner because I believe it was going to be up to a vote from our readers, and we don't have 10 entries yet  So keep the names coming.

To Don, all I can say is..."Why didn't I think of it first?!"
