What a super-cute house kit; I could not resist buying this final one. When it came to making it, though, I dragged my feet on and off for three months, and then I heard that my friend’s niece might want it, and I finished it up in just two days. Now that I know a […]

Four Years of GDTR
Today’s our four-year nomadiversary! Since the day we drove away from the house and never went back, we’ve stayed at more than 200 places and I’ve written almost 700 posts about them. Here are a handful of posts that are memorable to me, but, truthfully, the new random button on the homepage comes up with […]
Primo Camping Spots from 4 Years on the Road
I’m really digging this retrospective series here. I’ve put all the four-year posts I’ve compiled, so far, on this page, if you’re into them, too. This theme was suggested by my friend Matt, but I’ve struggled to figure out criteria. “Camping sites” usually means in campgrounds, and there aren’t that many I’ve even liked. I have […]
What Does Comfort Mean?
We’ve been spending a week in a house, a real house, with a life-size kitchen and hot running water and actual bedrooms with doors that close and a hair dryer in the bathroom. A hair dryer! In other words: comfort. Yes, I’ve really enjoyed this house. The soft sofa, especially welcome the day after we both got […]
Four Years of Landscapes
In the theme of my photo compilation posts, on drinking our way across the continent and four years of critters, here are a few of my favorite photos (mostly landscapes) I’ve taken since we hit the road four years ago. Disclaimer: I am far from being a skilled photographer, and most of these I simply […]
Knee News and 4 Years of Critters
Well, the knee news is bad. Full ACL tear. We have a lot to figure out, suddenly. Retrospective To give myself something to blog about that is not Knee News (and I do really want to keep blogging), I’m putting together a retrospective series for this blog. My first post was January 1, 2020, so […]
Knitting and Waiting
There is so much up in the air in my world that I can barely stay focused. At the same time, I’m bored off my rocker sitting around waiting for stuff to unfold. What the heck? Seriously, there’s the knee, plus all the other medical stuff we have scheduled before we hit the road again […]
Barbie’s Garden Tiny House
I mean it this time: this is my very final Tiny House. I’ve now made every kind of kit on the market and am truly feeling Tiny Housed Out. Plus, this one makes for a satisfying grand finale, with its multiple side views and features I’ve not seen in any other Tiny House. It’s got […]
Overactive Stranger-Reader Alert
I’ve never sought out readers here; I even clicked a box to keep this website from popping up when anyone googles it. You know that I started writing it only as a way to keep friends in the loop with where we were. So, I don’t have a lot of readers. I dunno, maybe 50 […]
Earthquake Tiny House
This Tiny House is the loveliest kit I’ve tried, and it’s the most screwed-up job I’ve done. I call it the “Earthquake House” because it looks like an earthquake hit it. (Madison Doug suggested I try for other disaster houses, like flood or fire. I’m considering it.) What’s so lovely to me is the simplicity […]
