Have you ever been on a roller coaster ride that made you jump really high in your seat? You know the kind of ride that you want to hold on to the rail because you just might fall off? That’s what happened to us when we crossed several bridges and overpasses on 95, especially in… Continue reading When Things Go Bump On The Road.

Why Self-Care is a Must!
Last Friday, I indulged myself in a spa day. I went all out and got the works. The best part about all of this is that I didn’t feel one bit guilty at all. I actually enjoyed the day even more because I knew deep down that I deserved it. There was no thoughts of… Continue reading Why Self-Care is a Must!
It’s Over! We’re Done!
It’s true. We are done. Kaput! Fini! Bernard and I finally left our house in Herndon. All the painting, cleaning, fixing, remodeling is done and over with. I can’t start to tell you just how happy we are to finally leave that part of our lives behind. I also need to clarify, that although we… Continue reading It’s Over! We’re Done!
We’re moving!
Today marks the end of our first two weeks in our RV. We are now ready to move to our next destination-Manassas Bull Run Park. Our first campground was at Greenville Farm Campground. It’s in Haymarket, VA. It’s a cute place to go, especially if you have a tent. This place is more geared towards tent… Continue reading We’re moving!
Knowing when to ask for help.
Our second week hasn’t been any easier on us. It seems we’re functioning on fumes but we know that we’re almost at the end of this part of our lives. The house should be ready by the end of next weekend (Aug 17 th). We finally hired a crew to help me (Claudette) paint the… Continue reading Knowing when to ask for help.
It’s been a week and we’re still talking to each other!
I can’t believe that it’s already been a week since we left our house to move into our RV. Mind you, it hasn’t felt that different since we’ve been at the house every single day since last Sunday. I’ve read many stories of couples getting into huge arguments over renovation projects. Let me tell you,… Continue reading It’s been a week and we’re still talking to each other!
Do We Really Need All This S**T?
I’ve been cleaning, sorting, packing, throwing a whole bunch of stuff for the past month and I keep asking myself “Do we really need all this S**T?” When did I become a “hoarder”? Well, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit here but that’s what it feels like at the moment. For example, paper clips. It seems that every… Continue reading Do We Really Need All This S**T?
A Mini Melt Down
It hit me all of a sudden! We have less than a week in the home and then we are gone. ONE WEEK!! I’m sitting in my office and looking at all the STUFF that is there and I’m wondering “Where am I going to put all this?” Worst yet is trying to figure out… Continue reading A Mini Melt Down
How It All Began…
It’s January 1st 2012. Bernard and I are sitting at Starbucks in North Point with my iPad and Bernard’s laptop and we’re looking at our calendar. We’ve been synchronizing our calendars for as long as we’ve been together (22 + years now) every January. It’s become our ritual. Some years have been easier to plan… Continue reading How It All Began…
Our New Adventure Begins!
Well, we are finally going to live the adventure we’ve been talking about–sort of. You see, Bernard and I have been “fantasizing” about living in our RV for several years now and we’re about to do that, on a smaller scale. We are in the process of selling most of our things and sell our… Continue reading Our New Adventure Begins!
