About Us

I guess you’d like to know who’s writing this blog and what we look like.  Okay, maybe only some of you would like to know.

This is the Pilot and me.  Bill & Vickie.  Yup, we’re pretty happy together and thoroughly excited about this new phase of our life…living  and traveling full time in an RV…with the dog.

Here’s the dog.  She’s the love of our life.  Bella, our rescued Golden Retriever, who absolutely dotes on us…and we eat it up big time!  Sad note for Bella…she is going to miss our swimming pool big time.  She is a great diver and retrieves her favorite red ball from the bottom of the pool on a regular basis.  She spots the tossed ball, circles around and then dives down with her back legs sticking straight up in the air.  When she comes up for water, it’s a thing of beauty as the water sluices off her head while she proudly displays the retrieved ball!  What a girl!

We have finally sold our house.  We’re no longer sticks and bricks owners.  We are now hotel occupants…for the time being.  Our search for an RV has intensified.  We have put to use all that we have learned and read about regarding RVs.  That special one is out there just waiting for us to pick up the keys.

We also have a residential and commercial inspection business that we usded to run from our home.  The Pilot started the business after he retired from 40 years of flying…the last 16 with Continental Airlines.  The Pilot grew up helping his Dad build homes and decided to use that knowledge and inspect houses.  He likens it to inspecting a plane before every take off.  We have three wonderful inspectors who work for us and we manage the administrative end.  Now that we’re on the road, the Pilot plans to incorporate RV inspections into the business.

Pretty hunky, huh?

We’ve got our business finetuned to the point where we can take it on the road and still continue to run a class A business, with the help of our experienced, knowledeable and friendly inspectors.  Oh, Bella and I help with the business too.

I also write and, of course, have a dream novel going at the same time.  Doesn’t everyone?  I love writing about people and everyday experiences of meeting them and talking with them.  It’s one of the ways I keep extending my education.

Bella loves writing about food.  And, then more food.  So, you’ll see recipes listed in the categories.   I also feature guest bloggers who want to share their recipes and skills in cooking certain foods.  If you’d like to join us, just contact me and we’ll work out the details.

The Pilot bought me a new camera for my birthday so hopefully the recipes will feature clearer sharper photos.  However, I’m still learning.

It’s been a long journey, a little over a year now, but it will be worth it to live the best of all worlds…running our business, traveling and seeing friends and family more often.

So, between shopping for an RV and doing the business, I’ll  try  to keep this blog updated every Monday if you care to follow our adventure.

That Bella.  She thinks she’s so smart because she has her packing all done!

As soon as we find our dream RV, I’ll post photos of it.  We’ll be doing some renovations on the inside before hitting the road.  Our wonderful son and son in-law will be helping us get an office set up inside.  I love those boys!  So, keep on dropping by and follow us as we start a new chapter in our lives.
