I love reading about folks just starting out. I have learned so much from newbies to full-timers. My Hubby is still not convinced RVing is the thing to do, so I just bide my time hoping he will change his mind. We are retired, I am bored and think life has more to offer than sticks & bricks. Life should be simpler and much less expensive. For now I will just keep dreaming my dream.

Barbara thank you so much for the Hitchitch idea, I knew they were there because I used them to find some of the blogs that I read. But I didn't realize that you could submit a website to them. So I just submitted my website. I don't know what the criteria is for taking a website but I'm sure I will find out soon.

Just found your site and went back & read all your post. I have enjoyed it very much! I am a single senior citizen and cooking for one can definitely be a problem. I found a solution that works for me, I do all my cooking mostly every two weeks. I fix larger meals & portion them into smaller meals, then freeze them. I usually fix two or three different meals, only one day cooking & clean up! I also prepared meal packets to cook later on the grill or in the oven. If I decide I want something different than I have prepared I will fix a larger portion of whatever it may be & freeze the leftovers. This lets you eat healthier & less time in the kitchen when you'd rather be outside enjoying your view. In the summer I grill out & have a nice salad, makes for a nice meal also. Please don't eat the frozen prepared junk it has way to much salt & preservatives in it! Sorry for the long post!

Thank you for the suggestions Maggie, and your post isn't long, it's thorough and informative. Your ideas are great and I had even planned on doing things similar to what you suggest , I even have a seal a meal gadget here in the Arctic Fox that I bought just for that purpose. So I agree with you completely what you suggest is exactly what I need to be doing, The problem for me is I'm not much of a cook and that's putting it mildly, I think I need to find a cookbook called "How to cook for one lazy person who doesn't know how to cook".

I have one of those seal a meal gadgets and found it just as easy to use plastic freezer bags, the zip lock kind. Do you have a crockpot?I read on one of the blogs they put their meals in it & set it in the kitchen sink when they are moving to their next location. Supper is ready when they get setup at their new home & only one pot to wash. I would be happy to send you some quick & easy recipes if you like good old home style food. Have you read Our Awesome Travels blog on hitchitch? He has a lot of recipes that sound pretty good, he used to own a diner & now uses the recipes for their travels. Looking forward to your next adventure, love your pictures & can't wait to see what you have in store for us next. Be Safe!

What I found when I had to move was that after awhile I could go back and it didnt seem like home anymore.Just keep the good memories and enjoy them and then go make some more ,three months is just getting started.. We are a lot alike on our hobbys ,that will be the hardest thing for me to leave.

Thank you Ron those are very kind and thoughtful comments. I know what you mean about "not going home anymore" I was an Air Force Brat and we moved a lot when I was growing up so I got used to pulling up stakes and leaving friends behind, but that place would never seem like home again
