Blogging: Like a diary or a journal, the problem is I get inspired to write at random times when I am not able to write, like while driving or walking the dog.
We have not heard much from the officials we pitched the proposal to for the RV project, but we will grow the project organically without government assistance. By doing the project ourselves, we can show people it can be done, and we will have the analytic to back it. That will show that living this way is healthier for us, makes us happier and cost less then what Government pays in welfare or the general relief fund for the indigent population. We will also be able to show that working the farms will provide the food we need without us having to buy much.
I decided that we will be getting a new RV for this project. Since I am not a mechanic or handyman, that was my husband, and my Twins are 19, it will be a safer bet to go with a new RV in hopes that it will have less problems. We have yet to decide on the type or style but are looking for something as compact and is as easy to drive as possible. I realized from when the 26” RV was donated, and I had to drive it, that as comfortable and roomie as it was on the inside, the anxiety that came with it made me re think that part of this adventure. I think re using the old and battered RVs is a great in theory and it can be done with an RV rehab program that really makes sure they are road worthy but without the access to the RV project ReHab and not knowing the info personally, I need to choose to be practical and buy something new. We of course do not have the money to plop down on this vehicle, so we hope our supporters will continue to support our cause via paypal.
TheTwins are now joining me in blogging, right now it will be random assignments I am giving them. These 2 young adults have been failed by their parents and failed by the school system. They both dropped out of high school and eventually I hope they can share their stories. 1 is my daughter from my late husband and she came into my life at age 11. I have embraced her just as I would my own daughter. That is probably why she is with me now 8 years later. Her partner has also lost a parent tragically and decided to remain with us on this journey. My goal for them is to avoid homelessness by learning how to be self sufficient and learn how to use their time wisely. These poor young adults are ignorant to real life and glued to the internet. I am sitting here thinking about our departure in 4 months and our 2-year journey and how much these 2 will grow. How much we will all grow.
There is this anxiousness welling up inside me. This is like the calm before the storm. My calendar is starting to get filled I am becoming busier and busier and time is flying. Only 4 more months till we push off.
