Twas a sad and emotional day today turning in our treasured Louisiana drivers licenses and getting our shiny new South Dakota licenses. Kind of felt like we are turning our backs on the state of our birth. Still more shedding of our Louisiana connections tomorrow when we register our vehicles, register to vote and change our… Continue reading 05.07.13 We’re now South Dakota residents :) goodbye Louisiana residency :(

Now that we've set our departure date of April 30th everything needs to be finalized. The lists are made and added to daily!

01.27.13 Santa Paul, RV trash cans, 2 tsp of detergent, stinky foods, Sam’s visit…..
Two months ago we purchased a medium size bottle of laundry detergent. Since we only use 2 teaspoons per load in our tiny Splendide washer/dryer I still have two week’s worth of detergent left. By comparison, in my previous life living in a sticks house with a regular washer/dryer, I purchased one of these size bottles every… Continue reading 01.27.13 Santa Paul, RV trash cans, 2 tsp of detergent, stinky foods, Sam’s visit…..
