About

Welcome to my blog. I actually doubt many people besides family will read it. This is more about a journal of unpacking tremendous change in my life. The blog name is my maiden name and to honor my parents. Both my parents passed away recently and they were the impetus for buying a boat.

The Stoll’s had a remarkable zest for life, and it was infectious. In retirement, they were great adventurers on land, river, and sea. They saw almost every hill, valley, and river across the nation. They cruised the Great Loop, a 6,000-mile route which circumnavigates the eastern US and part of Canada aboard their own boat “Wishbone”. Along the way, they made many friends hosting fireside chats and meaningful conversations repeatable for generations to come. The family likes to imagine their beloved mother and grandmother reunited with Erik and their son, Howard for their forever fireside chat in heaven.

Thanks for the inspiration mom and dad! I am going to have my own fireside chats and enjoy the day! Itchy feet until the end.
