Well it was bound to happen, no matter how disconnected we manage to stay with the real world, pandemics, and reality.. reality manages to find us! Got hit by a wicked flu on friday and have been down for the count since. I want to be the drama queen i am and say it’s H1N1, [...]

Much to be thankful this post Thanksgiving day. Living a dream, living it with the most amazing and wonderful partner. Our lives are full with wonderful people, our families, our amazing kids, frendships and connections.

The spot where we are parked till march is really pretty, just outside a mountain town called Felton, and deep in the redwood forest. It’s quite lovely to be surrounded by the majestic trees. We even have this private little garden area where we are allowed to hang out, just outside our door… which is [...]

Back in our cozy cocoon after a weekend spent in San Jose taking care of deb’s niece. One word. EXHAUSTED! Well, exhausted, but happy, mostly grateful we were able to give a two day away time to deb’s sister and hubby… and grateful to have such a sweet, endearing child in our lives. One great [...]

We are off in the morning to babysit deb’s adorable and precocious 3 yr old niecefor the weekend… first time away from mama and daddy, so we are forging the trail… wish us luck! I’m sure i’ll have a story or two to tell! Meantime i was doing a cleanup in my photos and this one [...]

He painstakingly scanned, uploaded and sorted through the photo albums my mom has.  (thanks Julien!). I was searching through it to find some pictures of uncle john b, and somehow have gotten [...]

One of those connections became a big part of our family. We called him ”Uncle [...]

Back to slacker blogging routine of late. Not a whole lot going on around these here parts to report. Random stuff today. I’m personally focusing on getting some paying work done, deb’s focused on helping joe find work, place to live… all those things real life is made of! The job search is tough going, would not want [...]

We moved over to our plan B spot this morning, oy. You’d think after driving and manoeuvring our way across over 10,000 km, in the US and parts of Canada that we’d have this parking thing down pat by now?  ….. uhhhhh NOT. This morning was a fine example of “Airstream Parking for Dummies”, led by [...]

Well routine be damned, today we went on a little expedition that gave us hope for a little adventure peppered into our routine! (you think i’m ADD?). We’ve been going back and forth with someone who contacted us on Craig’s list about the possibility of staying on some land nearby. We finally had the opportunity [...]
