Livin' Part of Life

It has been exactly one month since our last post. My last post. In that time, we have been reconnecting with family and friends. We’ve also gotten back into yardwork (damn leaves). But we’ve also spent a lot of time reflecting on being off the road. And more than anything, we have been enjoying our… Read more

It has been a few days since Karen last posted (and her last post at that) on the day we sold Livvy. The days have been filled with reflection. We still do not regret the decision. However, that doesn’t mean there haven’t been strong feelings. Yesterday, we spent a lovely morning at the Cleveland Zoo.… Read more

When we make a decision, we take action. And so just like that, we sold Livvy today. It’s a little bittersweet; we were ready and it is the right time. I think for me it all started when we bought our home in Bay Village last year. At the time, we decided that we weren’t… Read more

I know I missed posting yesterday. There was too much work to do, unloading the RV and cleaning everything top to bottom. By the time we sat down, the draw of my martini was much stronger than the desire to write. I suppose the best way to start is with the biggest development. After a… Read more

If there’s one thing we’ve learned doing these trips is that changes happen. Whether by necessity or by choice, plans get amended along the way. Today was no exception. Today dawned both overcast and cold. I started the day by fishing for a brief time, catching another big bluegill. These things are massive! We packed… Read more

We are so glad that we chose to come to South Dakota! It has already been a very rewarding adventure. In true Stoffiere style, we were done visiting the park around noon. It was purposeful, so that Rick could enjoy the private lake that we are staying on. At this point, I lost sight of… Read more

The beginnings and endings of these RV trips tend to be filled with days of driving. Getting us into and back from where we want to be. Even though we still have lots to see on this trip, the last three days were just driving. Driving for something new. In the case of today, that… Read more

Today’s route is one we have driven 3 times in the past year and a half. So we’ve already blogged about the scenery a couple of times along Rt 80 in Utah and Wyoming. But even so, I have a few things to share. We realized last night that the Salt Lake City KOA is… Read more
