March at Last!!!

Finally Spring is here. I have survived another winter..lol. I finished my science fiction series, The Solution and now I can concentrate on the dinosaur articles that I am involved in. My views have gone up a lot since I started those.

My Article On Homelessness in America Didn't Do That Well?????

I suppose that I am a visionary. I thought that maybe people would care about such an important issue as American homeless people. But I suppose not.  The article that I wrote yesterday, An American View on American Homelessness , did not get nearly as many views as I was hoping. Maybe people really don't want to know about this .

Another Beautiful Day

I went to pick up the grandkids today. It's a 45 minute drive but very peaceful. The kids are outside now playing in a pile of leaves. That's one of the great things about living in the country. Tons of leaves for them to play in. It really brings back a lot of memories.

A Brief Update

Very busy day today. Tax time always is..lol. Plus it's laundry day. This marks our eleventh year here at the rv park now. Fishing season is coming up and it's going to be hard to be on the computer all the time but I'm right in the middle of a huge sci-fi series of articles. I'm seriously thinking of turning this short story that isn't so short into a novel. I'm including a link to the first part of the story.

What it is Like Here

This is one of the most beautiful places to live that I have ever seen. It has been eleven years now since we moved here and I have had such a good time. There have been ups and downs as with any major lifestyle change, but the affordability of this place has been liberating.

I'm Now A Freelance Writer

I started writing for Triond about a month ago and it has been such a wonderful experience! I haven't had this much fun in years. And I get paid for my writing too. Not a lot at one time, mind you, but it does accumulate over time. And now that I am starting to figure out the whole Adsense thing, I can make even more money. It just makes me laugh when I think of a former friend of mine who used to laugh at me for wanting to make money strictly online..lol

Just in case anyone is wonder what this has to do with living in an rv park, well, if it wasn't for the free wi-fi that we have here, I wouldn't be able to do this..lol
Here is the link to my Triond homepage so you can feel free to look around at what I've written.

Something to Consider

In today's economy, people are reported to be living in tents and I can't help but ask myself why. RV parks are a simple way to live. I've lived in one with hubby for nine years now and I wouldn't live anywhere else. It's so easy to find one that reflects your personality. The one I live in is set in a forest yet only five minutes from the freeway. There are all sorts of wildlife within walking distance, and Wal Mart is only a ten minute drive. Some have fishing, some have utilities included with the rent, which is usually less than half the price of apartment rent. There are no land taxes, no school taxes and mail pickup is usually at the front office. I am in the process of building up my inventory of hand-painted tshirts and will soon add etched mirrors and glassware. I will be selling these online as well as locally. At the age of 53 I have simplified my life drastically and wouldn't want to live any other way. I enjoy the fresh country air and go fishing most mornings, which has been a childhood fantasy of mine.
