Homesteading on a Blackberry Hilltop
December 18, 2021 A while back, I walked into my RV and not through the door. See https://retirementrvdream.com/2021/11/13/just-ouch-how-can-i-walk-into-rv/ I have been having headaches since I hit my head. With it being over a month, I was still having headaches, I decided I should go see my doctor. She informed me that I had a concussion […]
Read More A Concussion, Really?November 19, 2021 I wanted to provide an update on Bruce’s experience with the low FODMAP diet. This is not a diet to lose weight, but to tame lower GI distress. Bruce has been on the low FODMAP diet since September of 2020. First, we limited the foods that Bruce ate to only low FODMAP […]
Read More Update on Low FODMAP DietSeptember 10, 2021 Today is National Stand Up to Cancer Day, sponsored by the organization, Stand Up to Cancer. Bruce was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer at the age of 41. It took his doctors over six months to diagnose him, as they just didn’t believe someone that young would have colon cancer. Since […]
Read More National Stand Up to Cancer DayMay 25, 2021 I had hoped to turn in my two weeks notice yesterday for my retirement. Since our house hasn’t sold, my retirement is delayed. I will work until the house sells. I am glad I told my boss that I will work until June 4th or until the house sells, which ever is […]
Read More Retirement RV Dream DelayedFebruary 19, 2021 I meant to post yesterday when my counter was showing 100 days left until my retirement date. I got distracted by Nox’s pitiful behavior yesterday after having her teeth cleaned and didn’t get a screen shot showing the 100 day count down.
Read More 99 Days Left before RetirementFebruary 1, 2021 Yesterday, Bruce and I went and got our second shingles vaccination shot. It stung a little when I got the shot and now the area hurts like a painful bruise. I compare this ache to the intense, unrelenting pain of shingles and know that I’ve made the right choice to get vaccinated […]
Read More Second Shingles Vaccination, OuchJanuary 1, 2021 It feels strange to write 2021. Parts of 2020 dripped by slowly and parts rushed by leaving me wondering what happened. Retirement is rushing up and we still haven’t bought our RV. I hope we can find it soon, since I want to live out of my vehicle and 5th wheel, camping […]
Read More Happy New Year!November 16, 2020 I would like to thank those of you who expressed sympathy for our family’s loss. Bruce and I flew to Jacksonville, FL and drove to Jekyll Island, GA to be with his family on Delta. We were also able to attend his mother’s visitation and funeral. My mother-in-law loved the outdoors and […]
Read More Good-bye to my Mother-in-LawNovember 19, 2020 The last couple of weeks have been very hard on Bruce and me. Bruce’s mother had shoulder surgery on October 29th. She had a bad reaction to the anesthesia and she was very confused as to what was happening. She was also in a lot of pain. By November 6th, she was […]
