Maggie, checking out her new hood.
I've had a few people ask me about my crazy decision to buy an RV. I thought this response seemed like a good one to share on my blog.
I've been single for about 5 years now. I've had a couple of relationships, some family issues and job challenges, that have taken me from Boise to Portland, back to Boise again, up to Anacortes, WA, and now I'm back in Portland once more.
Frankly, I'm tired of packing and moving and un packing, and so I've decided that since I can't seem to land in one place,... I'm going to live in a portable house.
I found a wonderful place to park my RV. It's on an island at the confluence of the two large rivers. Almost half the island is preserved bird and wildlife habitate. I'm a bird nerd, they just facinate me, so I feel lucky to be here for peak migration time, too. I'm going to be surrounded by birds. ^_^
The best part about my new little home is that now, if I need to be where my children and grandchildren are, I can go. If I want to move to another town, I can go. If I want to park everything for a few months to travel, I can go. If I don't like my neighbors,... they can go!
Flexibility - that's what it's all about, baby! ;o)

I think it's a fantastic idea! You apparently don't get claustrophobic, so it's perfect for you. You have taken the idea of downsizing to an extreme, that's for sure! How very "green" of you!
It must be fun to come home to every night, your very own little place. Have you and Maggie done much exploring?
If I were single and no kids, that's exactly what I'd be doing. Is that too PollyAnna?
You are making it YOUR home and its beautiful. WHERE you live sounds beautiful also. And your surrounding area being a preserve with all kinds of wildlife and bird migrations -----0its perfect for you!
ATTA GIRL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not that I'm trying to kill off my husband or anything, but if I find myself in similar circumstances someday, I really dream about getting an Airstream and hauling it around behind a pink Cadillac convertible. Just me and the dog...
