Our lifestyle has changed.  After 13 years of being full-time RVers, we settling down and built a small home in Retama Village.  Joey, our Bounder and our Travel Supreme Trailer have been sold.

The website is looking a little different as we added a top right icon pointing to the home we built.  The home we built is from the Cottages series in Phase 5 of Retama Village, so we will refer it as Our Cottage.

The pages on our travels will stay as history. 

Tige was used to live in when we were in Retama Village in Texas until Our Cottage was ready.  Changes and additions to strong>Tige will be retained for reference purposes.

Red Rover has moved on to another owner.  The pages dedicated to Red Rover will stay in the website for historical purposes.

Likewise, Joey has moved onto another owner.  The pages dedicated to Joey will stay in the website for historical purposes.

We have been on the road living the full-timing lifestyle since 6/6/2006.  We did a lot to learn about full-timing and we still are in the learning process.  We are documenting what we have learned to help those who will follow us.
