Tucson So Far

It has been nearly eight months since my family has stayed in one town for more than four consecutive weeks! And we picked Tuscon, Arizona to do it. Despite my working five days a week with a thirty minute commute on either end, we have packed so much in. I would like to share what […]

That Just Happened Part II

Ok, so where did I leave off…. Oh yeah, “The Thing”. I hung that out there for you. Well, I’m sorry, but I have to describe several memorable days that occurred before that. Including the toughest day we had on on the road. And, actually, that is where I left off. We left Lake Whitney […]

That Just Happened

I admit, it was unfair to leave you with a smattering of frustration that came from our “shake down” period of our new RV. (You might decide to breeze through “Having Fun Yet?” in order to get a feel for the shape we were in by mid October). Looking back, we were extremely fortunate how […]

Having Fun Yet?

Tuesday October 1st, 2019 5:00am So when I started this blog I promised I would bring you all the ups…… and downs to what we are doing. Well, I am hopeful, and pretty sure, that we will look back at this time and find it well worth the struggle, but that’s what I am doing […]

2,617 miles

Wait, what? Summer is almost over? Kids are going back to school? We have started home schooling Faith? We are going to take delivery of our brand new 5th wheel in just a few days? Shoot. I better document and share the adventure of how I arrived in Indiana from Oregon with all our belongings […]

Moonshine on Easter?

No, not really I wouldn’t brew whiskey on Easter…. But I did get a chance to brew some incense cedar oil this past Easter. It was the last chance that I’d have to brew some cedar with Dan, and I had one wicked chunk of incense cedar found on our “Savage” February lower rogue trip […]

Leave Nothing on the Table

Growing up in the competitive athletic world, I was very familiar with the saying earn a “spot at the table”. To be awarded the opportunity to sit and eat at the table meaning that through your time, effort, blood and sweat along with your talent, you had what it took to be finally granted a […]

Finding Brutus

Why is it that no matter when I deal financially in the automobile industry, I can’t help but feel like I’m getting screwed over, or at least not the best deal? I don’t care what it is: buying a new car, getting something fixed, dealing with state taxes and title/registration, all of it. It always […]

Closing Time

“Every new beginning is some other beginning’s end.” Closing time, by Green Day. Do you remember that song? I would assume many of you reading at least lived through the same era I grew up in. Whether or not you remember Green Day, isn’t too important. Green Day was a pretty big band through the […]

Cleaning House

Making a house a home is one of life’s great ventures, definitions of achievement, and privileges. However, home-ownership includes the requirements of maintenance, fixing, cleaning, and paying a mortgage which can quickly become nagging chores. My family has been so blessed by our home at 480 Surrey Drive. This was the first house Leah and […]
