GARAGE SALES FOR ME ARE NOW OVER!!!!!!!!!!!! Hallelujah! No more pricing hundreds (felt like thousands) of things, putting signs out in the neighborhood, newspaper ads, Facebook notices, emails to everyone I know and working hours and hours and hours on garage sales! A couple hundred folks came through on Saturday, buying the last of our earthly… Continue reading 02.18.13 End of my garage sale era, Roy’s freaky finger, Dora’s bobo slide

02.06.13 Hospital Dora, stamp memories, sharing a blessing, Open House, china for sale!!!
I intended my blog to be solely about our adventures traveling but that seems to be on hold waiting for the sale of our home. In the interim I've been sharing what’s going on and what we’re learning about living in an RV. We still love living in our RV. Or in Dora’s tummy,… Continue reading 02.06.13 Hospital Dora, stamp memories, sharing a blessing, Open House, china for sale!!!
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…..
01.04.13 Black tanks and toilets, oh my!
Today’s blog may not be of any interest to our family and friends unless they plan on RVing or have a fascination for all that is RV-related. If you want to learn about RVing keep reading. This may be a very weird blog to those who really just want to know about our travels because… Continue reading 01.04.13 Black tanks and toilets, oh my!
December, 2012 – still clearing out the house, working on Boots and living in the RV
We thought going into this that finding places for our things we wanted to take would be horribly difficult. We’ve found that finding places for our stuff has been an evolving event. When we first started moving in we went through each room in the sticks house and took what we thought we’d need, including our… Continue reading December, 2012 – still clearing out the house, working on Boots and living in the RV
November 2012 – Our RV comes home, more selling and RV Cooking
Something funny has been happening a lot lately. Mostly when Roy is working on something and needs a tool - he looks at me, smiles, and says "oops I sold that already." A minute ago he said he needed some screws and remembered - oops I sold those already! Can't tell you how many times… Continue reading November 2012 – Our RV comes home, more selling and RV Cooking
October 2012 – After Conroe, a LEGAL RV of our very own!!
One lesson learned was that we would only buy local (at least within our state where we were familiar with the laws) and probably from a dealer. Even if it cost a little bit more we wanted legal above all else! Still not sure if we’d buy old, not real old or new we continued… Continue reading October 2012 – After Conroe, a LEGAL RV of our very own!!

WARNING: THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY VERY LONG BLOG. HOWEVER, IT IS WORTH READING AS YOU WILL SEE WHEN YOU READ IT.

October 2012 – Looking for our RV, staying in our friends RV, and our second garage sale
Like I said originally, our plan was to sell the house and everything in it, buy an RV, retire and hit the road. The order of our plan was now changing because of two things. First was we began to realize how much time would be involved in preparing the RV and our Toad (the… Continue reading October 2012 – Looking for our RV, staying in our friends RV, and our second garage sale
September 2012 – Taking baby steps toward our dream!
In September we began thinking about telling our family and friends and this was a little daunting. Who knew what their reactions would be to this seemingly radical change in a generally conservative couple. Many people’s response was that we are doing what they always dreamed of doing. I love that response and encourage anyone… Continue reading September 2012 – Taking baby steps toward our dream!
