On the Road

Got off to a slow, but safe, start for Palm Springs. Black ice everywhere and my husband's instinctive decision to have a wobbly wheel checked. Turns out our bearings on the back axle were very loose and our seals were shot...three hours later we hit the road courtesy of the local Les Schwab!

Headed up and over the Siskayous as I type this...send us good thoughts for clear roads

PS Departure Date: Six Wake-ups & Counting

Wrong...Westfield Salsa

Right...Westfield Julep

My stomach is in my throat, and my palms are sweating just typing this!!  We're down to fine-tuning now:  AS polished to a crazy mad shine, awning installed...altho it's the wrong fabric color (good times); new wheels don't fit old axle so we're taking them with us to Inland RV hoping that they'll fit when next axles get installed; and new rockstar doorbell installed!!!!

Great fun day last Friday when I tried on my awesome vintage dresses and they fit!!!  My friend Jeany is a magician!!

Humbling moment over the last few weeks...a custom-made Eames-inspired elephant for the AS given to me by a friend from work.  Any sneakerheads out there will clearly recognize the inspiration & know who is wonderful man is.  I'm truly honored by his kindness, and his friendship

Watching weather forecast daily, keeping fingers crossed for no snow in the pass and sunshine in PS!!!

Wish us luck!!!

Things I Like.....Confessions of a Happy Glamper

THINGS I LIKE....Squishy Collapsible Things

Confessions of A Happy Glamper

One of the very first things I bought, oh a million years ago, for our AS were some collapsible mixing bowls & dog bowls at Camping World.  Not particularly pretty, but most definitely functional...someday when we could actually use our trailer!!

Over the next two years or so, someone clearly got the hint that this collapsible stuff didn’t need to look boring (yeah, fun colors!) AND introduced “squishy things” like the iSi prep & mixing bowls.  You bet I own them all - measuring spoons & cups, more bowls, colander - you name it!

One of my most favorite finds is an incredible, full-sized salad spinner....that’s collapsible!!  Made by Progressive, who makes lots of other trailer-friendly goodies, it has fantastic functionality and of course I was able to make room for it in the Heath AS (Doug didn’t really need that extra pair of shoes, right?)

You can find these items almost everywhere - I’ve had the most luck at Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, occasionally Costco and our local Kitchen Kaboodle.  Prices range between $12 - $29....a small price to pay for bringing the creature comforts of home to your AS lifestyle!

Happy travels -
