Well, how did this journey begin.  Well not sure where to start, do I start with being a marine shortly after high school, or perhaps when I got married 5 years later and had my beautiful children in 1979, 1982 and 1984!!  Or did it start when I retired in 2011 after 33 years with the same company, children all raised and grown, divorced and alone.....I think it actually got started by my mom....not a finer woman has walked this earth than my mom....I saw her strength and courage everyday of my life ... I saw her scared but not fearful of anything having and living a good life...I won't go into her story yet, but I will one day ... Her life basically changed when dad died ... She bought alittle bungalow (that later was sold and became my inheritance, which is how I afforded my dream) ... And she bought a scamp rv and traveled ... Her and noodles (her dog) and a 45 under the seat and off she went ...  Her and her alone gave me the courage to reach for my traveling dream, once my kids were grown and I was retired and alone myself.  In May 2011, I retired...2011 winter was my 1st winter away from home ... I rigged my expedition up with a bed, packed the bike and clothes on a trailer and off I went to Texas...you see my house didn't sell til August 2012.  Well when it did sell, personal stuff went into storage, expedition was given to my son, and off on the bike I went in search of my truck and then eventually my 5th wheel....2012 winter was spent in Harligen Tx and I was a workamper...I was home march 2013, then off to another workamper position in Sturgis South Dakota for April 2013 til September 2013.  Then I stayed home in Missouri from September 2013 to December 2013.  And that brings me to today ... It's January 2014 and I'm in Texas heading to a workamping job in Mission a Tx.  I met a lady in Port Aransas who travels and she taught me blogging...hence here I am and now were all up to date, lol....there are many stories I have to tell and I will on occasion tell them here...when I'm sitting alone at night with a glass of wine and wanting to remember my memories and stories....some will make me cry and some will make me laugh ...but I'm looking forward to telling them .... In time!!!

Happy New Year

Well it's a new year and I'm so excited !!
