We finally hit the road. It’s been two and a half weeks of trials and tribulations trying to get things fixed, debating on what must be fixed now and what can wait, and fixing the must-fixes in time to leave. We are one day behind schedule and there is much unfinished, but the must-fixes are […]

After 5 years living trailer-free, we are about to move in and hit the road for real again. Amazing. So we will be off-line for a least a week while we cross the southern United States from Oklahoma towards Mobile, Alabama, and part four of our life on the road. For those not keeping up […]

A few days ago while cleaning things out, as best as I could without water, I stumbled upon the blue lake. Yes, we have EVERYTHING in our trailer, all the modern conveniences, including a blue lake. Hey, it ain’t Lake Louise (Alberta, Canada) but it is our own tiny lake. Well, actually, the lake is […]

Having come to an interest in sewing lately in life, I was thrilled with the 1948 Singer Sewing Machine left in my apartment in Tel Aviv. It did only one thing, straight stitch, but it did it extremely well. Loved that thing. When my friend, Ruth, moved into her new apartment in Tel Aviv, she […]

I should call this blog entry “Tippicanoe and Toilet, Too” but that was just too cutesy for me. And yes, we are still suffering from the Bathroom Blues. Brent finally got the toilet fixed and not leaking. We turned on the water to find the water to the kitchen dead. Fixed that. Then it started […]

Yesterday morning, I came back downstairs after a huge family breakfast at Terry and Lisa’s home. Brent’s mother asked, “What happened to the glamor lady?” Looking down at my bleach stained, holey pants and grease smudged torn t-shirt, I explained, “I’m trailer trash now.” It’s a funny comment, but it is the truth. Our life […]

Yesterday, Brent went out to the trailer alone while I went through the attic at his parent’s house to consolidate, pitch, toss, and distribute (to us in the trailer and to charity). He finished the installation of the new refrigerator, making a special bracket to house our CD/AM/FM car radio over the fridge. The radio […]

A friend sent me a link to an amazing new technique for getting your teeth cavities fixed up. It’s at The Expat Telegraph discussing new tooth dealing techniques and truly worth a look. Technology is finally catching up with dentists. Lorelle Tulsa, Oklahoma

There was a lot of wonderful information about teas and cookies in the two programs I attended and I thought I’d share some of it with you. The following recipes come from the Stash Tea and Celestial Seasonings web sites and there are links to those sites for more recipes. I recommend visiting them because […]

As part of the outreach program and women’s ministry of Brent’s family’s church, his mother, Lynda Kay, is one of the main minds and bodies behind a very unusual tea. It is a women’s tea held every month or two at the church’s huge social activities center, and it is only for women, though the […]

The fridge is out!!! Yeah!!! It wasn’t nearly as hard as we thought it might be. Brent removed the instrument panel, after having a bit of trouble removing the dried up sealed screw plug covers, with ease and carefully disconnected the wiring and propane plumbling. This old fridge ran off of electric and propane and […]

Earlier this week I unburied the last letter written by Brent’s Grandmother Matthews. I put it in a special place to show him once all the nightmare move is over. Unfortunately, in cleaning out some of his own stuff in the trailer bedroom, he found a previous letter written in July. Dealing with his sadness […]

I thought I would keep a list of the ways that technology is helping RVers and people living and traveling on the road compared to even five years ago. As we clean out and repack our trailer, I’m beginning to appreciate the benefits of technology more and more. The biggest change has been in weight […]
