A little glitch
(Preview)
Due to some new FHA regulation that is impacting our buyer our closing date just got moved out 2 weeks, closing was supposed to be tomorrow. OK, so yes, we can use an extra day or two to finish cleaning out the garage, but we were so ready to get on the road and certainly don't want to spend another 14 days ca...

Container Gardening? Anyone?
(Preview)
I'd like to plant some lettuce and a tomato plant or two in a container. Im not much of a gardener (I killed a Mother-In-Laws Tongue a few years ago....) but he misses gardening and it would give him something to do. I can do some research, but just curious if anyone has grown veggies in small containers a...

Should we sell sooner?

Hubby and I were talking...Hmmmm, maybe we don't want to wait four years. Maybe we should do this NOW! We live in a Habitat for Humanity home. Our house will be paid off in 2017 and we owe roughly $8000 or so. When we bought our house in 97 it assessed for 68 thousand. We pay 2/3 market value around 43 thousan...

They say its good money and you get to see the country but you still have to pay for your expenses like lodging and food. I would like to know if anyone here has done thi...

Minimalist Living

I know this one is not directly related to RV'ing, but it is a story about a young man who worked to pay off his "early" student loans. Then he went back to college with the intent to further his education as cheaply as possible. Part of that plan ended up being that he lived out of a Ford van. H...

I went to dump my black tank this morning (I bet you already can guess what happened) and one of the hooks on the bayonet coupling broke off, and yes, sh!t happened. I was able to close it again quickly, and the deodorizer was doing it's job, so not too bad, but it went all over my foot. (My dog is going to love...

This is the first Sunday that we didn't have to pack up and go home! It sure was fun watching the others for once. We figure we'll do a short trip once a month or so since we still have to work around my schedule. This lifestyle keeps getting better and better!

When did I get old? I was in my favorite store recently, when a young family was blocking the way. The mother looked up and told her children, “Move over, kids, and let the old man by.” Old man, indeed! I looked at them and just shook my head in amazement, and drove the power cart around them. Why, I’m not...

Hitch Safe Neat Idea

I came across this little item, and I had been contemplating finding a place to hide the extra set of keys, I case I lost mine, and got locked out. Looks like it's about $50 on Amazon. It's a key safe you can put into your tow hitch receiver. Of course, if you are actually towing, not good, but I'm not towing,...
