Growing up in a devout Catholic family, I was taught to ask the saints for help. Those days are long gone, but this post’s title began a little ‘prayer’ my mom taught me when I couldn’t find something. Saint Anthony, the patron saint for the recovery of lost items, is the namesake for Texas’ second…

To Tucson and Beyond!
As we continue our journey Eastward, our current location is predicting temps in the mid 80’s for Christmas Day, while our friends and family in Bellingham are looking at the strong possibility of a white Christmas. I love the beauty and feeling that invokes as I recall the Christmases of my childhood, a couple of…
Merrily Managing Our Mission Statement
Phoenix Area Part 2 Now for some of the fun stuff around Phoenix! We spent two weeks in the vicinity and explored some exceptional regional parks, experienced new bourbon and chocolate, and boldly drove into places we shouldn’t have. I already covered that last part, but a good friend of mine pointed out that scratches…
Trials and Tribulations in a House on Wheels
Now that I’ve moved our website from GoDaddy to BlueHost, everything actually seems to be working. If you missed the last post because GoDaddy was down for the second time, I think it should load successfully from here on out. I can’t believe how fast our travels are going by. The other day I…
Life in a Southern Town
First off – Happy Birthday to my wonderful companion of 34 years! So happy to be enjoying this adventure with you! ❤️ Travels may not always be super exciting, and by that I mean interesting to read about. I think that’s mostly a good thing! Hopefully you won’t fall asleep reading this, but if you…
Still No Selfie Stick, Adventures in California
As I write this I’m thankful we’ve moved beyond the Oregon Coast, where search and rescue has just completed air-lifting RVers from a flooded park in Tillamook. I complain about the rain, but so far it’s just been a nuisance, not a life threatening event! Continuing on ‘The 101’, we left the second state of…
The Rugged Oregon Coast
I guess this must be The Matrix throwing training at me in it’s own fashion and it’s sink or swim.
Last Bit of Washington State
When I first thought about writing a blog I wasn’t sure I would want to keep it up and whether I’d even have enough material to write about. At least for now, it’s quite the opposite. I jot down thoughts here and there and now it’s more about what not to include than trying to…
Making Our Way … Slowly
Well we haven’t strayed far from home yet. We stopped about an hour south so we could pay a visit to my uncle without whom none of this would have been possible. (And Tami’s 90+ year old grandma Joyce for whom this wouldn’t be possible for other reasons). Almost 25 years ago my brother and…
Bring Your House to Work Day
As we’re still hanging around WA while we finish up a few things, we thought we’d get in a little practice today hooking up the jeep tow bar and hitch and actually towing. We had only towed a few miles home (a very loose term for a while) from getting the air brake system installed…
