Making Bug Screens For Loki
One of the many benefits of being a professional seamstress is that you always have the ability to “make it yourself” if it involves any type of fabric/fiber application at all. Additionally, living and traveling in Alabama and the Southern USA means that 95% of the time you are going to encounter some type of…

We Reaquired Our Red Tacoma
This is the first time I have ever done this, but this week we re-purchased our 2011 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport PreRunner. We originally traded our red Tacoma to get the 2017 blue Tacoma, but after about 4 months of being without the red one my seller’s remorse got the better of me. Lucky for…

Our 2017 Toyota Tacoma Limited
Today, we added a new Tacoma to the family: a 2017 Blue Tacoma Limited, our first third-generation model. In order to get the blue one, we had to trade in our beloved Red Taco. While it will be missed, it’s staying close by with extended family. The new truck, which we’ve tentatively named ‘Blu Taco’…

Red Tacoma New Arrival
Today, we added a new member to the fleet: a 2011 Red Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Off Road PreRunner, which we’re currently calling “Red Taco.” This truck is a very welcome addition to our household, especially after dealing with a stretch of less-than-reliable vehicles, including a Saturn that seemed to be returning to nature and…

Scott in the 1971 Volkswagen Camper Van

Weather Blues Cabin Fever in a Bus
This is the 5th of May and it is supposed to be 58 degrees tomorrow for a high with 30 mph winds. Right now it is raining, cold and windy outside. ARRRRGGGGHHHH. I am not sure spring/summer is ever going to get here. Well, maybe I can get some knitting done anyway. You would think…

Deborah Aubie and Blazer and Some Flowers
Yesterday my husband took pictures of me and our dogs to send to our family members. This is a photo of me with our Cocker Spaniel “Aubie”. Here is another one with our Bassett Hound “Blazer”. Do you see the pretty flowers? Blazer saw the pretty flowers too and decided that they would probably taste…

Finding Room for the Dogs in the Bus
Pets, especially dogs, adapt to their surroundings rather quickly in most cases. This is even more true when the surroundings change, but the owners stay consistent. Dogs are pack animals and when they are your pets, they want to be where you are, regardless of where that is. Our dogs adapted very quickly to life…

Putting Dagger Kayaks on the RoadTrek Van
One of our hobbies during the time we owned the RoadTrek and while we were working on the bus conversion was kayaking. We had two wonderful Dagger kayaks that we wanted to carry with us and this was the solution for the RoadTrek application. It worked out really well at the time.
