Christmas Remembrances, New Toilet Install, Tamales With Friends, Moving to California
We spent a fairly quiet Christmas Day in Glendale, Arizona after almost a week of hustle and bustle. I baked some cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and then around 11:00 AM I started a seitan pot roast in the crock pot for our vegan dinner. (If you're not familiar with seitan, here a link to find … Continue reading Christmas Remembrances, New Toilet Install, Tamales With Friends, Moving to California
Expense Report for September-October 2018
Happy Halloween! This is the report that several people have requested, and which we had always planned to include on the blog. Today we're going to talk about what it costs us to live this lifestyle. First, a couple of caveats.

We left … Continue reading Turning 60 in Albuquerque and Santa Fe NM

Pancakes with Boogie / Lake Livingston
As you know, we are currently parked at the Escapees Rainbow's End RV Park in Livingston, Texas. One of the advantages of staying at a large RV park are the amenities that you won't find in most state parks, and certainly not in a boondocking location. For instance, we have enjoyed using the pool almost … Continue reading Pancakes with Boogie / Lake Livingston
A Good Kind of Mistake
Today I found out I had made a big mistake. And it turns out that things are a lot better than we thought they were. If you remember from my last post, we had checked the electric meter on our site and found, to our horror, that we had already incurred over $42 of electricity … Continue reading A Good Kind of Mistake
Welcome to Rainy Texas!
It's Sunday afternoon and we're snuggled in the RV with the kitties, having a cup of coffee while the rain pours down outside. Welcome to rainy Texas where we're under a flash flood watch (so much for the Burn Ban signs we saw on the way in). We left our Harvest Hosts location at Landry … Continue reading Welcome to Rainy Texas!
