Bought myself a gift today that makes me happy. I figure it's about time I do a little decorating in my roaming home. #happy #happiness #neversettle #signs #reclaimed #recycled #fulltimerv #roaminghome #realhomesense
Sunset tonight in the Shipshewana RV Park. I've had good service here. I've really enjoyed watching all the horse and buggy traffic in this town. It's like stepping back into the past only with paved main roads. #shipshewana #indiana #horses #buggies #rvpark #camground #sunset #amish #fulltimerv #mobileofficelife #realhomesense
Mothers day is coming up, I won't be here for the day, but if I were, I'd be suggesting my favorite restaurant in the old neighborhood. And mother's are always right. #mothersday #brunch #commercetwp #restaurant #unionlake #view #goodfood #realhomesense #fulltimerv #mobileofficelife #smartmothers

I'm parked in my Aunt's driveway in Kingston Ontario at the house my Grandparents purchased when they relocated here in 1965. My Grandfather spent the remainder of his career working at the head office for Correctional Service Canada. I lived with my Grandparents many times throughout my childhood and I have fond memories of being cared for and fed well here. My cousin just came out to the trailer with a coffee and this mega fruit salad for me while I'm working. It's good to be home where there's family, history, love and some spoiling. #fruit #fruitsalad #family #history #correctionscanada
Gift from a friend. I usually only make a mistake once. How about you? Once and done or do you make the same mistake over and over again? #wine #badchoices #lifepartner #onemarriage #onedivorce #mistakes #lifelessons #lifelessonslearned
Happy Mother's Day! My cousin and I coordinated a Mother's Day brunch for my Aunt and favourite neighbour. The sparkling wine was perfect for today. I purchased it on New Year's Eve from the first city I stayed for a month, Panama City Beach, and put it away to celebrate the first time I backed up my trailer by myself. I did that when I arrived so this was the perfect time to pop the cork! #mothersday #sparklingwine #panamacitybeach #floridawine #keylime #trailerbackup #brunch #alcohol #deck
So wonderful that this is the first thing I see as I enter my doctors office. There are 2 rescued greyhounds here. Love this doc so much because he's the only one who has worked on my "health" and solved decade long issues that doctors and specialists "in network" could never resolve. He spends at least an hour with each patient and is often behind schedule, but he is the only doctor who is worth the wait. I am worth the investment. #worthTheWait #worthTheDrive #NoHealthInsuranceCoverage #healthinvestment #Healthy #Happy #greyhounds #doctor #holisticMD #annarbor #michigan #fulltimerv #mobileofficelife #realhomesense
