The police just came to our front door to inform us that we can’t park our RV on the street in front of our rental house. Apparently, someone complained about it, and there is a city ordinance we were unaware of. We have 24 hours to move it. This was our home for 10 months … Continue reading 2017 Winnebago Vista For Sale
Homeschool Summer ☀️ School
The official last day of school for our charter school was May 22. We are still running a little behind in our studies. The Camp Fire set our oldest 2 kiddos (ages 10 & 7) back by a good 6 months and we still haven’t quite caught up yet. Our youngest was in Kindergarten this … Continue reading Homeschool Summer ☀️ School
(Almost) Wordless Wednesday
My guest photographer for this post is my younger sister. This is part of her new rose garden. She recently planted 22 rose bushes in front of her house. Unfortunately, a passerby stole these ones the day after she took the photo. It appears as though she may be unintentionally providing a community service... 🌹
Storm’s A-Brewin’
I hope you enjoy the results of an impromptu photo shoot I did yesterday. “Thank You” to my husband for putting aside the things that “needed” to be done and taking us on a mini field trip to drive RC toys. “Thank You” to the train engineer for blowing the whistle for us.

Zoom Birthday 🎂 for Kids
My youngest son recently celebrated his 6th birthday. We had been planning a trip to Legoland, California to celebrate but COVID-19 disrupted that plan.

Do We Have What it Takes to Take on a Fixer-Upper?
We just bought our 5th home in 12 years of marriage! Four of our homes were “fixer-uppers”. We really don’t intend on buying “fixers”, or buying and selling houses so often. It’s just always worked out that way for some reason or another. For anyone who doesn’t know, we lost our home in the Paradise … Continue reading Do We Have What it Takes to Take on a Fixer-Upper?
