    This man did not look downtrodden.
    He's got a home in a warm climate, a cat and a new view every day.

    First of all Letty, you look GREAT! Life on the road truly agrees with you without question and I can see a whole new countenance shining thru again, just like towards the end of Flagstaff. That's marvelous and I am so happy for you.
    Bob is a lovey man as well, and the tour of his home on wheels was really well done, there was a lot of terrific information there for anyone thinking about how to live comfortably in a small space, and have all of the conveniences that make life a bit easier to navigate on a daily basis - it can be done and Bob is doing it. I applaud him and you both for taking back your lives and thriving in your new environment!
    I will join you all one day in the future, but I am a 59 year old 'Tween'. I take care of Mom full time (she's such an easy-going and LOVELY human being, I adore her!) yet now that I have my health back after 20 years of "What the heck is going on" I am itching to get out on the road full time myself, but Mom will always take precedence over my own wants, my turn will come.
    Love you Letty, you are a continuing inspiration to me, always.
