Unusual for me, but I’ve been at such a loss for words and my mind has been so jumbled, I just have not been able to publicly share the diagnosis the oncologist gave me on May 24. But I’ve gotten to the point where I must because quite honestly, I just can’t yet bring myself… Read More »
Dealing with Cancer as a Full-time RVer
How do you deal with cancer as a full time RVer? I don’t rightly know, but I guess I’m about to find out. It’s not a class I’m taking voluntarily, but I found a big lump in my neck in March that has pretty much consumed my time since then and changed my travel plans… Read More »

My gorgeous granddaughter, Caitlin, recently shared this photo of us on Facebook with these comments: On the left is my grandma at age 16 and I’m on the right. She is such a beautiful soul.

This is just one of the holidays I’m not with them since I gave in to my wanderlust and fulfilled my lifelong dream of travel in 2001. I realized that the first… Read More »
Cool, Crazy Uncle Curtis
I think everybody needs a “cool and crazy” uncle in their lives and my Uncle Curtis fit that bill to a T for me. I don’t know what year this picture was taken, but today is his Memorial Service in New Orleans. And as much as I will always honor and remember him, I feel… Read More »
Wichahpi Washanee
I know I haven’t posted to this blog in quite a while. I use this site for personal updates that may or may not relate to fulltime RVing, but it’s been all I can do lately to keep up with my main MaliasMiles.com website where I share info on campgrounds and other explorations.
