    I love how Ruby sits in the passenger seat, she wants to know what’s going on, I love it! You two are actually pretty awesome, and I’m an old lady wishing I could follow your path. 😊

    Rowen is a wonderful cook. I wanted a bite of that Mac and cheese 😊 I have been watching Rowen's older videos. Rowen makes me want to be a better person. If we all had her attitude we would find happiness. I think this is why her videos are followed by so many. Rowen and Ruby have definitely touched my life .❤❤

    Hi Rowan, very nice video…I’m glad Ruby is getting a feel for the water. 🤗 I wanted to give you an easy starter tip for a fire starter. Get cotton balls and a jar of Vaseline from the dollar store. When you want a fire starter, coat the cotton ball with Vaseline and place it under your wood, light it…you good to go. You can make several ahead of time and store them in a jar for when you need a quick fire starter. You and Ruby have a great evening, God Bless 🤗🥰🇺🇸

    Loving your free spirit and good nature, always! Just wanted to tell you that if you're ever near Spokane and need a safe place to park, a hot shower, and a recharge for whatever needs recharging, I'm here for you. For real. I worry about you guys sometimes. Maybe I watch too much true crime LOL!
    I also have a UA-cam channel, twosilveroranges, where I do crafty stuff, so I've also got anything you'd need to make interior repairs or improvements too! Also addicted to crochet and dying yarn etc. ;)

    I like the pink in your hair. Just an FYI, if you want or need fire starter, you can use petroleum jelly. Coat a cotton ball with the petroleum jelly & there you go. More affordable and will last you forever.

  • @fragilefleur
    @fragilefleur 4 місяці тому +1

    I love your videos. My first thought on Ruby at the beach is for you to get her a 16’ leash. They sell them for recall training and it will keep her on leash but able to roam a little more and run a little. Congrats miss Ruby for getting her feet in the ocean. I had one dog who would bite the waves and came home full of sea water and peeing a lot. I don’t think them drinking it is good though in retrospect but I was a child at the time and thought it was hilarious. She looks like she was really learning what a beach is all about and loving it. So cool to see a beach as a new thing thru a dog’s eyes. I hope she has some posts on her channel also about it. Lol. Will check later.
    Ok only at the 4:55 mark and had to leave that much. 😂

    I make my own fire starters with a toilet paper cardboard, dryer lint, used dryer sheets, some wax of a burnt candle and little twigs from the yard. I cut my cardboard in half or thirds, fill with dryer lint and a used sheet, a few twigs and pour over with the candle wax (to keep it all together.)

    Yeah, the roux is a good plan. I usually use flour, never tried corn starch. But, a roux makes for a nice creamy cheese sauce. And with the 1/2 + 1/2 it should be super-creamy (very rich, but super-creamy!😉)

    I’m happily married, yet I wish I could relive my single days and do the van life. Working remote wasn’t a big thing then though, not sure how that would work. I have a lot of health issues too that require me to be close to my local hospitals and doctors, so doing it now isn’t an option, plus my hubbys not big into camping. So I’ll just live vicariously through your videos.
