Oh, look at that bit of sun shining on the Firefly in my photo! We had that glorious bit yesterday morning, and I squandered it by sitting in the truck while Tracy went in to Tractor Supply to top off our propane tank, and then he filled up the truck with diesel and we picked […]

Learning to Live in the Firefly during Downtime
Of course we’re not doing any of the things we’d planned on doing in Virginia for this stay: hanging out with friends and family, going to the kazillion breweries we like here, hearing local bands. We are, though, getting time to figure things out in the Airstream. Accomplishments Yesterday we: Opened the awning for the […]
Winter Hike and Indoor Yoga
I’m sitting here in the Airstream on this cold rainy day, writing because I have plenty of time, and I’m guessing some of you do, too. So maybe you’ll enjoy this now, whereas regularly you’d be like, “Shelly sure does post a lot!” I’m guessing I won’t post so often once we’re on the road […]

Activities on the Road
Friends ask me what we’ll do once we’ve set up camp and are staying for a bit. Here’s what I expect—in photo essay form. Outdoors-ing Competing Cooking & Eating, Knitting & Playing the Uke, Petting Banjo Seeing Bands Finding Good Beer Do you think we’ll get bored?
Small-space Planning
We’ve got a to-do list as long as my arm (really, both arms) of crucial stuff we need to take care of before we can leave, but I keep getting distracted by the inside of the Airstream. I’m thinking big-time organization and decorating. And clearly, from the image above, I’m no great interior designer. But […]
