Yep, totally under the spell of The Lone Star State, we are! Who knew?! I like to think of our time in Texas, all 9 1/2 weeks of it, as a story that slowly unfolded, and the more it did, the more it became a captivating tale to us. There is so much to cover […]
We’re coming close to our 6-month anniversary as full time RVers. After three months on the road, I wrote a blog on the lessons learned to date. At the half year mark, here are some of the key things that affect our daily lives: SEEKING THE FAMILIAR AMID THE UNFAMILIAR! Whether on the road or […]
“Ter… what??!! Terlingua? Is that a place or a disease? It’s not even on the map! What is there to do for 6 days in a place that’s not even on the map?!!!!!” These words eminently spoken by my dear husband and travel partner on the eve of our departure for Terlingua, TX. It was […]

And yet, it’s not like the opportunity of learning this lesson didn’t present itself sooner in other life situations! I can recall […]
Today (Feb. 13) marks our 3 months on the road! Seems way longer than that as the learning curve was steep. We left Redmond, WA on a crisp November morning in our beautiful, shiny new RV-Sprinter, Airstream Interstate. Learning how to operate our new machine was first on the agenda of course. But equally important […]

Hello RedbirdRV Friends, This is my first blog entry. Bear with me as I’m struggling to understand how WordPress works. I selected WordPress for its reputation as being super easy to work with, but this ain’t in my ‘natural’ wheelhouse to say the least!
