Life Is Happening Fast!

All of a sudden life seems to be moving quite fast. We've accepted an offer on Dad's house and closing is expected to be the middle of October. That means I have to skedaddle on outta here soon.

Reminiscing About The Florida Sunrise

It's dreary outside, my work is done for the day and I sit here thinking about all the sunrises I experienced when I was on the road.  My bed (in the van) is across the back. Some mornings I'd roll over in bed, open the curtains and watch the sun rise. It amazed me that… Continue reading Reminiscing About The Florida Sunrise

I was about to embark on what I knew might be a long and difficult (yet equally fulfilling) journey as Dad's caregiver.   Being Dad's caregiver meant I had to forego my nomadic lifestyle (living in my cozy little home on wheels) and live a static lifestyle… Continue reading Closing This Chapter and Getting Back To Nomadic?

Reflections From Solitary Confinement

I believe this is week 3 of our lockdown, quarantine, stay at home, shelter in place whatchamacallit orders. I've heard it called many things but I often (jokingly) call it Solitary Confinement. How Am I Holding Up?... I'm often asked how I'm holding up because... shortly after losing both Dad and Cookie my sudden aloneness… Continue reading Reflections From Solitary Confinement

2 Years Ago Today – Living Life With No Regrets

A Facebook memory popped up today and it prompted me to write about it. The memory was from January 28, 2018. At the time, I was in warm, sunny Homestead Florida visiting Nikki. Nikki, Cookie and I had just been to Petco. Pets are allowed in Petco so we took Cookie inside. He went into… Continue reading 2 Years Ago Today – Living Life With No Regrets
