Tiny Houses

Lately I have been intrigued by Tiny Houses.  They look so cute and efficient.  Just as much space as you need and no more.  I can see myself living in one of them.  Of course, my RV at 27' is almost like a tiny house and I am perfectly happy living in it.  The only downside in the few I have seen is that you sleep in a loft.  At my age I would worry about climbing up and down the ladder.  Especially if I was still half asleep.  A good place to get info on tiny houses is Tammy's blog.  I would need to downsize a bit more I think to fit into one but not much.  I just finished reading Tammy Strobel's book called "You Can Buy Happiness (and It's Cheap)" and I really enjoyed it.  You can get it for your Kindle through the above blog or on Amazon.  We can all learn from her and reduce possessions, get out of debt and live simply.

Simplify your life and enjoy it more.

On The Road Again!

Well, I was able to keep my Mom at home and out of the hospital except for one time when she had a huge hematoma that needed to be removed on her leg from a fall. She was slowly having more difficulty moving around until Jan 1, 2012 when we had to take her to a Hospice facility because I could not safely help her move around anymore. While she was there, she had a stoke and died Jan 12.

She had a long life and was ready to go. Even so, it was hard losing her.

Now I need to figure out what I will do next. I can't afford to stay in this apartment without her paying some of the rent so I am moving back into my motorhome and living the dream I interupted to take care of Mom. Not sure how long I will be traveling around. I may find someplace I really want to stay and stop for a while. I will say, I prefer living in my RV than an apartment though.
