The Adventure begins...

Hello One & All!
The final countdown has begun... Packing and moving our stuff into storage is in full swing now. Our weather has presented many challenges but we are winning. The outside temp's are in the low 20's with plenty of ice and snow on the ground as we push the hand-truck loaded down with boxes, tubs, and furniture to the garage for storage. This too has been a challenge, packing the garage for long-term storage is like a giant jigsaw puzzle - it ALL has to fit in 16'x20'x10' tall. Amazing how many times we've had to re-work the arrangements. LOL

Our adventure of "Tenting Across America" begins on the morning of December 11, 2010 and will take us all over the country. We will of course be spending the winter months in the Southern states and working our way north as weather permits. We will be visiting friends and family along the way too - sharing our experiences, campfire and laughter. I will be posting our progress here as time and internet access allows. We are sure looking forward to living our dreams, meeting new people, fresh air and living a very simple lifestyle.

Here is a challenge for you: You are invited to join us for any or all of this great adventure. Do you have the courage to caravan along with us? You are welcome for a single night or as long as you wish. Bring your own gear, food and tent - call it an extended camping trip/vacation!

My thoughts for today are to be kind to everyone you meet, laugh at yourself, give thanks to God for all His many blessings and share a part of yourself with others. Practice random acts of kindness everyday - it makes you feel amazing! Thank you for following my blog and

Merry Christmas to all....
