Full Steam Ahead
The house is sold. We have less than thirty days to clear out, which considering we are moving into our motor home, means to get rid of everything. It’s a year ahead of schedule, I admit, but given the hot real estate market, I agreed to list the house for a month and see if […]

“I feel like we’re on the edge of a whole new life,” I tell my husband as we cruise through the Santa Rosa Conservation area, nothing but white sand dunes and water on either side of us. “I feel it too. I just want to keep on going.” It’s our fifth week in the RV, […]

We have done it! Bought and paid for: A 40+ foot, diesel pushing, home on wheels, whom I affectionately call: Hoo Gnu. If you knew me at all, you might be a little shocked (see the post RV Kidding?) It was late last night when we got it set up, so while we had electricity […]
Read MoreWide Turns Ahead
When illness struck our household it knocked over our bucket list, spilling much of the content into the drain. We were like bystanders at a train wreck: watching our lives spiral out of control, desperately trying to sift through the rubble to find signs of survival. Depression, anger, and grief were just some of the […]
Read MoreSitcom Potential?
I’m seeing it now as a sitcom, you know 22 minute vignettes in which the ordinary becomes the absurd. Episode One: The Preparations Are Mighty As departure time draws near, Ric’s paper plans have overtaken the house. Meanwhile, VJ, unable to get out of bed, is trying to direct a flustered hired help to pack […]
