Train Tracks and My Thoughts

The railway tracks run behind my house. Some people do not like this, but I find them very relaxing. I found some wisteria growing behind my house too. I also realize that walking on the tracks was not very safe, but the tracks are a rather safe and clear vision of oncoming trains. The oldest system of transportation. To think people used to travel the world on a train. Private cars for the…

LLS 2022 Part 2

Night or day, the river looks amazing! I know that I have not even made it inside the event! I have tons of photos on Fiji film, which I have not transferred to my computer yet. Every day there was events all planned out. The entire day could be planned out for every interest. I wanted a more laid back week, so I chose the Mad libs and Book Walk. The Mad libs is self explainatory. The book walk…

Name Change

I am currently thinking about changing the name of my blog. I have not been traveling nor do I plan on doing any camping in the near future. I still have hopes to continue, but it will not be with the One-Eyed Wanderer. As much as it pains me, I have to make a decision to move on and stop hoping that things will change. I am not bitter or angry, I need to move on is all. I need to find out who I…

Looking Back

Suwannee River Many years ago, we went camping near the Suwannee River. My mother owned property down there and we were checking it out. There was nothing but a lot for camping, undeveloped, and no utilities. I do not know what will happen to the property because it was not left to me. When Mother passed away many arguments over certain properties. I had offered to buy the two camping lots.…

Television Cooking Shows

Molly Yeh’s Hot Dog Flowers I saw the episode where Molly Yeh was making this! I thought it would be awesome to make! I cheated and used canned biscuits because I’m lazy about making dough. Also, I lack the space for a stand mixer. I need Chip and Joanna to come redo my house! This did not come from a show, but I did get the idea from watching Molly Yeh. I rolled out some canned biscuits,…

My March Madness

Sausage and Potatoes I use turkey sausage, I have allergies to certain sausages and have found that turkey sausage not only does not bother me, but tastes really good. Turkey sausage can be used in many dishes. I love dishes where all the ingredients are thrown into one dish and put into the oven. I take care of a hemiplegic, so I’m all over the place. I am happy to do this and it makes me vary…

Our St. Paddy's Day

Our St. Paddy’s Day

My kitty hugging a fidget wheel I want to make every holiday fun and special. I have been compiling recipes and photos of what I made. I did not do much as far as décor goes because I do not have anything. I did print out some coloring pages, which i did not photo. Everyone should do what they feel is right for them. I do not have the space to store decorations for every…

Go Dawgs!

Although nobody else was here other than my bother and I, we had a good time watching the game together. It was fun and exciting. Normally I am not a big football fan and know nothing that is going on, but I like watching my brother watch football. Of course we are Bulldog fans! We live in Georgia! Bulldog Food I made some things I had picked up from Pinterest. BBQ smokies, peanut butter Ritz…

Covid on the Bright Side

There are some people who have not been coping with the pandemic. For almost two years we have lived with wearing face masks and excercising social distancing. There have been no parties or large get togethers with the family. Being an introvert has a big advantage, I do not miss any of that. My time has been put to rather good use. At least I think so! I have been going through cookbooks and…

#Breakfast at home #Covid living #Learning to cook breakfast

Welcome to 2022!

2021 was a challenging year for me personally. I did not travel anywhere! I now have my handicapped brother living with me. I do not want to expose him to COVID. We are double vaccinated but have not gotten the booster shot yet. I have been working on other things. Motivating Signs I am painting again! I have not done much, but more than I have in thirty years. Watercolors are my new thing…

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, #34 in the Reader’s Choice List

Lolita was published in 1955 by a Russian-American novelist Vladimir Nabokov. It was widely popular for many decades. There are two movie adaptations 1962 and 1997 which can found on Netflix DVD. Stanley Kubrick directed the 1962 film, which I did like very much even with the disturbing content.

The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner, #33 in the Reader's Choice List

The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner, #33 in the Reader’s Choice List

A literary classic is what The Sound and the Fury has become. The novel was published in 1929. William Faulkner writes in a narrative style-stream of consciousness. A brilliant artist. When I was younger, I wanted to find southern authors. I was curious to see how the writing differed from regions of the country. I heard many stories about Faulkner, being the Southern Hemingway.

The Worm Ouroboros by E.R. Eddison, #32 on the Reader's Choice List

The Worm Ouroboros by E.R. Eddison, #32 on the Reader’s Choice List

The Worm Ouroborus was published in 1922. A science-fiction story which took place on the planet Mars. Critics have made many comments about how Earth like the descriptions of Mars was, but it was written in the 1920’s. I found it more focused on the story rather than the planet being the plot format. I thought about reading it again. I may do that later. I read one chapter to remind that I did…
