On the Road Again (kinda)
In anticipation of our next trip with Scoopy, we began gathering all the things we wanted to bring with us. We placed each item in a designated area in the dining room. Some things we had been saving for years …
Linda’s Top 10
Damn. I probably should have gone first, because I’m not as thoughtful or philosophical as Steven. I mean, you won’t read my list and deduce that I have zeroed in on the essence of full-timing. Nonetheless, to me, my list …
