After traveling 2400 miles we picked up our new home and are now half way back to where we started from.
After nine days on the road 3 in a motel and the rest in the Mini Mansion at a BLM campground in Utah to Canyon De Chelly national park in Arizona to a dust bowl in Shamrock Oklahoma we have stopped for a day of much needed rest at Horsehead Lake in the Ozark forest in Arkansas.
As I was quickly becoming a mean, stinky, hairy woman it was in Marks best interest to find a place to say for more than one night. So here we are on the edge of Ozark national forest and as much as I hate mornings I am glad the dogs got me up because the view was worth it.
Here is what I have learned so far living mini on the go, the lighted parking lot at Wal-mart makes me feel safe when I walk the dogs at night the lights put off a romantic glow in the trailer right until you go to bed and the skylight above the bed lets the light shine in your eyes, I looked over at Mark and seen him blinking probably could have read a book!! Found some cardboard and put it in the hole to block the light, perfect!! until it fell on me at 3 AM and scared the crap out of me. Not to self don't park under lights. I hate dust so staying in a dirt RV park in Oklahoma was not a good idea by the time I swept the floor I had enough to to plant a nice little garden, note to self don't park in the dirt. Blu dog has learned that if you want to get from one side of the table to the other it is easier to walk across the table than go around. Cole has learned that it is pretty cool to stretch out on the bottom bunk and snore like a buzz saw. Nick has learned that it is easier to be even closer to me in a small space. Mark has learned that every time he leaves the cabinet door above the sink open his wife will hit her head on it. And me well I have learned that home cooking means tearing off the lid pealing back the cover adding boiling water, stir and let stand for 3 minutes is as good as it gets. And so here we are at the lake paved level spot, leafs on the ground and no dirt no spotlights in the eyes and I finally got that hot shower that turned me back into a human.
PS if you ever go to Monument Valley don't buy the Indian print blankets they are made in India
