About That Bittersweet (April 17 - 24)

Bittersweet is definitely the word this week! Moving out of our house or "sticks and bricks" in the RVing world, and into the Embark has been most exciting. The "sweet" part is that we are finally following our dream, the "bitter" part is saying goodbye to our son, Michael, his wife, Bridget, and our friends in Tucson.  This week found us busy with actually moving into the Embark. In fact, we have spent two nights in our home on wheels and love it.
Our week has involved learning how the towing system works, finding a way to transport the bicycles with the towed vehicle (full time RVers call this the toad), getting rid of furniture and finally moving into the Embark. Even though the closure on our home is slated for May 4th, we now consider ourselves true full time RVers.
Our first stay is at Davis Monthan Air Force Base. Roger was the wing commander at DM in 1994. That wonderful assignment lasted for 13 months. It is a thrill to return and experience life on base.

Where would we be without Tim???

Thank you for taking the time to see what is going on in our lives. This coming week involves signing the papers to sell our home and all of those last minute things involved with moving.

  3. I love that you have some of your blue dishes in the "galley". So you don't say kitchen in RV lingo?
