Just up puttering about online, over a coffee/toast in our airstream cocoon… celebrating my girls birthday to boot…YAY! I have to say it wasn’t looking so YAY yesterday, was a few million miles far from YAY in fact. We had been staying in one of the motel rooms (since our replacement moved into the house on [...]

So it’s finally here, something i personally have been waiting for all summer…. the blackberries have arrived… ripe for the picking! Everywhere you look in these here parts, you’ll see blackberry bushes, and i mean EVERYWHERE! There’s a veritable wall of them on the front lawn of the no-tell-motel, so that’s where i started my picking adventure [...]

As you can well remark, for the past month or two i’ve been whining a lot.  Today on my coffee/blog reading break i found the image to the left… says it all don’cha think? Our constrained little life at the no-tell-motel, has us not only permanently tied down by a big old rope to the place, but overwhelmingly [...]

Here are some great shots alison took when she was here. Now you all can see first hand what an amazing photographer she is! My personal fav Deb’s fav another great one… maybe for the cover of airstream life?? if you are on facebook, you can click here to see more of her work. if [...]

As ya’ll know, kimi loves her internet. Biggest case in point is us meeting our best boyfriends. Who would have thought asking a simple question on the airstream forum about towing an airstream would have lead to meeting two of the nicest men on the earth? Who would imagine that meeting would then lead to us [...]

There’s nothing like working in the service industry to give one a lesson on how to treat others!  Over the weekend we had another family group taking over a couple rooms of the motel. Bunch of kids/adults.. nice enough, but that kind of attitude. You know… that kind of attitude that makes you feel like the “help”.  An [...]

So, i confess, Financial Dyslexia is a fairly new affliction… My whole life has been playing catch up to my Date Dyslexia. I can’t begin to tell you how many appointments, meetings i’ve missed because of it. Oddly enough, I’m a stickler for time, so am never late… just typically show up for said appointment/meeting on totally the [...]

Life in the country, well maybe i should say life on a highway exit, comes with some challenges. Recycling is one of them. The nice recycle truck doesn’t actually come pick up your cute carefully sorted little blue box out here in no-tell-motel land. What you have to do is gather it all up, hop in your [...]

BC is one of those boom-bust places. Hardly anyone we’ve met actually comes from here, all came  west  from somewhere else to make their fortune…. Canada’s version of California. We met a fellow over the weekend,  someone we seem to keep meeting again and again in these here parts. Well different guy, but same tale. [...]

Am sitting here anxiously awaiting the arrival of “the truck” which is bringing “our stuff”. Well i say “our stuff” but really mean “my stuff”, or as deb deb aptly named it last night… my baggage! Somehow all our things in storage have magically been put on a truck, and that truck has magically managed [...]
