Time Travel On Sale

We went shopping to Costco on Monday - and for $11.99 you could go back to 2014. 

A picture is worth 1000 words...

Or sometimes two words...What? Why? 
This is one of those pictures from out trip out west. Have you ever take a photo and later wondered why?

Driving down the interstate - going through North Dakota - there wasn't much to catch our attention - "Oh look a hill." 

but I zoomed in and on the only hill visible for many, many mile we spotted Salem Sue, the World's Largest Cow...and no we didn't pull off the interstate to go take a look  

Buyer's Remorse

I consider myself the Queen of Downsizing... we have gone from combining two households into a two bedroom apartment and from there we eliminated anything that would not fit into the back of a F150 truck - luckily for me I am married to the Master Packer.

And then we made our first mistake... we went into Wal Mart - of course we couldn't find what we wanted but ended up purchasing a rechargeable lateen - (and if you're curious - no we didn't use it on our two month  camping journey.) It's hard to believe after giving away so much...we would buy one more thing...

Backstory to a romance writer's journey

The Journey to Writing: 

Downtown Minneapolis

For 27 years I worked for a utility company... until the day my boss said, "if you're not happy here, quit."

So, I jumped ship and went to work for the City of Golden Valley... until my daughter said, "you'd make a great COTA."

So, I moved to La Crosse WI to get an associates degree as an Occupational Therapy Assistant.   

I spent almost 1 year working with children on the Autism Spectrum.

Before we relocated to Iowa where I spent 1 year working in a skilled nursing facility.

Which brings me to now…We are living in someone’s basement in Eugene, OR and I am pursuing my dream of writing. 

And we are living our dream....
