Well, I'm a day closer to getting my driver's license back. I'm also a day past when I thought I was getting it. Do you ever wonder who made up "the rules," and what they were thinking? I knew I'd have to get SR-22 proof-of-insurance as soon as I got my license back (it's one … Continue reading The Catch-22 of SR-22

Like a (Dry-Docked) Sailboat: RV Living
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
Flood in the Desert
Supposedly, I live in a "high desert" climate. Well, I do live in a high desert climate--but you sure wouldn't know it this year. I just pulled up an article from January, stating that Boise had (already) seen more snow-so-far than any year since 1892, when they started keeping records. And we kept getting more snow---a … Continue reading Flood in the Desert
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
On Mobility
I used to say I hated moving, when "moving" involved packing and hauling and unpacking boxes every time... But moving kept happening, even while I said that. I averaged more than a move-a-year in the decade before I married Jon---never mind that with every move I earnestly swore my intention of staying put! I blamed circumstances … Continue reading On Mobility
2017: A Year for Reading Rihla
Boise Idaho is bearing up under record-breaking conditions this week. We have more snow on the ground than EVER. (Well, at least the "ever" that dates from 1875 when someone started measuring.) We have wind-chill warnings for -25F and more snow on the way, possibly to be followed next week by rain, of all things, … Continue reading 2017: A Year for Reading Rihla
RV Wintering
I'm still learning things about RV living---the right things to do, the right words to use... Like the difference between "winterizing" an RV (getting it ready for winter storage when you're not using it) and actually WINTERING in an RV. Cliffs Notes version: Everything changes with the weather! We've had snow for weeks, and now … Continue reading RV Wintering
