I'm so excited! I will be painting with Kilz tomorrow morning, then the colors on Thursday. If all goes well, I should be done with the walls no later than Friday, then I can start on the floor. I am running a little late on that, but I discovered that porch paint will work well… Continue reading I’ve rounded the corner

Almost Home
The last several weeks have been filled with a steady stream of physical labor that leaves my body aching and weary, but my heart glad and satisfied. I've posted many pictures so far in a Facebook Album called RV Renovations. If you have any trouble seeing them, please let me know. So far I have… Continue reading Almost Home
Breathing…
As I sit here in my room, coffee at hand, the sound of gulls outside the window, and the cats napping nearby, I look around at all the things I still have to take care of. At this point, however, my hands are tied until I have the motor home parked here (or in a storage… Continue reading Breathing…
Destination
Throughout the month I have been thinking about my chosen word for this year (Apparate) and how I can apply it to each day. This past week, I've chosen to focus solely on the Destination. In the simplest terms, I think about how the things I do each day would be handled in such a… Continue reading Destination
An overdue update
Happy September! I can't believe that it's been so long since I posted anything. Time really has a way of getting away from you, doesn't it? Skipping ahead a little, I'll say this: I'm not living where I thought I'd be, but this place is better in many ways. The first being that I'm actually… Continue reading An overdue update
Closer and closer
I have nearly all my stuff in the living room now as I prepare for moving day. It feels strange to know that the next place I call "home" will be temporary but, in a way, they always are. This corner, in my 850 square feet apartment, contains almost everything that I'll be taking with… Continue reading Closer and closer
Hesitations
Even though my progress through the house-cleaning has been slow lately, I can see more clear spaces and organization. I even find myself annoyed when I leave fabric or yarn where it shouldn't be (which will be a great thing once I'm in a tiny space). I've gotten a few bins here and there and… Continue reading Hesitations
Conversations & Coffee
Lately, I've been taking a very hard look at how I use the things around my house and realizing that some of them are just not going to work in an RV. My French press, for example. To those who've never used one, you add fresh grounds to the carafe, pour in some boiled water,… Continue reading Conversations & Coffee
Slowly, slowly
As cold temperatures race through the country, I can't help but wonder how I'm going to handle the winters. Oh, I have ideas of adding insulation, possibly the under-floor heating, and lots of wooly rugs, but will that be enough? I know that I could just drive somewhere where the temperatures are a little nicer,… Continue reading Slowly, slowly
A little less clutter
I've been working more and more on clearing things out so that I can be closer to ready when it's time to go. My old dresser has a new home, pots & pans have been sorted, clothes are chosen, even jewelry has been gone through. Most of these things are still in the house, but… Continue reading A little less clutter
