Because I'm a sailboat skipper, I'm amused by RV terminology that borrows from the marine arena. Like the "shore cord"---the cord we plug in at an RV park to power the rig's electrical system. On a sailboat a shore cord (which you'd plug in at the dock when you stay in a marina) makes sense---it … Continue reading Like a (Dry-Docked) Sailboat: RV Living

Views From the Roof
On the list of things-I-didn't-think-about before living in an RV: we have a great balcony with a great view. OK, it's our RV roof, but the "great view" part is true. Our park is situated right next to a semi-pro baseball park (Boise Hawks, a farm team for the Colorado Rockies) so we have front-row seats … Continue reading Views From the Roof
How to Save Hundreds on Prescriptions (I don’t care if I sound like a bad TV ad… everyone should know about this!)
We're kind of conditioned to believe that something "too good" can't actually be true... So when I happen on something TRUE that's awesome... Well, I just have to share it!

Cliffs Notes version: Everything changes with the weather! We've had snow for weeks, and now … Continue reading RV Wintering
I Am the Pumpkin Patch
My mother used to tease that she had found me in a pumpkin patch, and my sister under a cabbage leaf. Secure in our elementary knowledge of biology (and the baby-book photos of her bulging belly) we didn't think twice about our origin, despite her joke. I used to make a similar wisecrack when my teens … Continue reading I Am the Pumpkin Patch
Addendum to a Eulogy
Yesterday my dad should have turned seventy. He passed away this year on my birthday, so this weekend we've been missing him on his. Ironically, I could still practice my favorite joke-ritual, which was not to call my dad (whose depth of phone-phobia was rivaled only by my sister's and my own) on his birthday. I … Continue reading Addendum to a Eulogy
