It’s election night as a type, and I’m thinking about anything else, frankly. I just realized, for example, that on Friday, my weekly email goes out, and the only post I have up is that silly one with links to myself in “the news.” I don’t think I’ve ever been at a loss for blog […]

Birthdays on the Road: You Win Some, You Lose Some
Tomorrow is my birthday (the weird 56, not old yet!). I’ll be spending it at doctors’ appointments near Houston, because it’s that time of year again for us. We try to shove as many annual checkups as possible into one week and then move on. That’s why three of my four birthdays on the road […]
My Least-favorite Part of Full-timing
Today’s our final day at Lake Ray Roberts, north of Dallas/Ft Worth. We’ve spent a whopping ten days here, same site as every year, so we can visit Karen on our way to a week of annual “life garbage” (thanks, Melanie) near Houston. Man have I enjoyed these sunsets over the lake; we’ve watched them […]
Moments of Silly > All Else
I had written an eloquent post (really, I did!) about helping my friend Karen move into her house, and how it got me thinking about the stresses of moving, and how Tracy and I do it every week, and how much we have to cooperate and communicate to live in a tiny home, yadda yadda. […]
Heat, Heat, and More Heat
We left Livingston, Texas, yesterday with plans for an interesting, relaxing route north on our way to the Mothership in Ohio. Thanks to the heat and repairs and health crap, we’re going to have to work for it. Last night, we found a spot on the water at a Corps of Engineers campground in Texarkana. […]
🎶 I’m Back in the Saddle Again 🎤
I’ve sung this many times when we’ve gotten back on the road after a long stay in one place, but this time I mean it in a bunch of ways. Saddles One saddle I’m back in is a literal saddle, the one on my bike, finally. After basically six months of waking up early to […]
Oh Lord, Stuck in Lodi, Again (Again)
Just about a year ago,I set out on the road,Seeking my fame and fortune,Looking for a pot of gold.Things got bad and things got worse.I guess you will know the tune.Oh Lord, I’m stuck in Lodi again. It wasn’t a year ago for us, it more like four years ago that we found ourselves stuck […]
Taking Responsibility
I’m talking about my health. But not the way I’ve been talking about it the last six months. This is a new start. (These photos are from various places we’ve camped across the US and Canada, since I don’t have photos of where we are now, unpicturesque Livingston, Texas.) My doctors here near Houston say […]
I Drove All the Way Here for This!
That’s what I told the endocrinologist yesterday when he said, “We’ll run a few tests the next time you’re in the area.” Dude! Dude. My husband and I cancelled all our summer plans and rearranged our lives to come here for this. For you! To Houston in the summer! Can’t you do them sooner?” To […]
How This Leg Is Different
Man, I did not mean to make such a bad joke. I was thinking about this first leg of driving to get to the Airstream factory in Ohio, but seeing as how my actual leg has a tendon in it now that it didn’t start out with, that’s different, too. Some people (aka Tracy) are […]
