I received a call from Sprint PCS the other day. We have both of our cell phones with Sprint and rely on their data services while we are traveling, and we went with Sprint because of their unlimited data plan and roaming arrangements. But apparently, I have a bandwidth limit on roaming data, and apparently, I have [...]
Gratitude

I have not written in a while due to a lack of time and a lack of available communication/computer connections, but before I start getting back to writing my quirky posts, I wanted to thank a few of my friends and family who helped us get on the road. Without them, I most likely would [...]
Progressive Comes Through

Normally I do not post things like this, but I feel the need. Yesterday, we were headed toward the Canadian border and were going throughout what we needed to cross, and what we could and could not bring in. I knew we had coverage for Canada, but was not sure if my US insurance cards [...]

We are making the final push before we leave. We had going away party on Saturday (thank you Mike and Hallie) and we rented a storage unit last week. We will be moving the furniture this Wednesday and Amelia will be taking the RV out with a girlfriend and her kids when school ends this [...]
Overwhelmed

“It takes a village”, an African proverb (and a book title by Hillary Clinton) means a whole society or village needs to help raise our kids to become the best citizens that they can be. In simple terms, it means that parents need to rely on neighbors, teachers, friends, and even strangers when raising children. [...]
Honey-do list

My husband and I often joke about how simple men are in their desires, especially compared to more complex (and difficult) women. My husband says that all men want three things: the television remote (complete control), a drink in hand (specifically beer), and some time to relax and decompress after work – preferably in complete [...]
John Fremont’s First Post
December 10, 2010 by 2 Comments
It is time that I make my first post on this blog. All of my efforts on this blog have, up to this point, been focused on coding and design. Seeing as I have zero experience at HTML, I have have been in way over my head. As Amelia said in a previous post, we [...]
Bend, Oregon

We live in a beautiful place! Central Oregon is an embarrassment of riches: alpine mountains and lakes, the Deschutes River going right through the center of town (plus, many other rivers nearby), Mt. Bachelor for fantastic skiing and snow-boarding, Smith Rock State Park for world-class rock climbing, volcanic buttes and caves to explore. The sports [...]
