Vita In Via...Life on the Road...
I'm Sherry, and I'm married to Pete. Welcome to our lives.
We are embarking on some major changes in nearly every aspect of our lives. And this is where you can follow us. And maybe even be encouraged to make some changes of your own!
We currently live in Houghton Lake, Michigan, and we love it here! It is a beautiful area of the state, with things to do in every season. And we plan to stick around this area, for the most part. Which could change in the future. For now, that's the plan. But we are downsizing our lives, ridding ourselves of the excess, the clutter, the flotsam and jetsam that has only added weight to our lives.
And that includes space. Too much space = too much accumulation!
Add to this our love of spending time together, and travel. So far, our travel has been limited to vacations, weekends, and day trips. And each trip means preparation - laundry, gathering, sorting, packing, pet-sitters...and expense! Motel prices keep going up (and bedbugs keep spreading everywhere!), pet-sitters aren't free. Of course on our return, it's the same thing all over again - unpacking, sorting, laundry... All of this wastes our time and our money!
So, many months ago we came to the conclusion that for the next stage of our lives, we will live in an RV! A motorhome, to be exact. We've been working toward this for a while now, researching, getting rid of possessions, putting our plan into motion. Into motion? Yes. We have begun actively seeking our motorhome, as the next and most important step in this process. We are, in fact, looking for just the right person who would be interested in a barter - our house, for their motorhome. Simple, quick, economical.
This is the time and place to start creating our new site, in these early stages. We're sharing our plans, our progress, and even our mistakes. And everything else that relates to our lives - both now, and on the road.
