We recently found a great RV place near us. Larry, the owner, finds used RV’s of all sorts, refurbishes them and sells them at reasonable prices.
Today we went to look at Class C, truck and living all in one ,and 5th wheels, a long large rig pulled by a truck. It was great going in them all. One 5th wheel rig was about 37′ long but had everything one could want. Stairs to the bedroom, washer/dryer, queen size bed with closets and bureaus. Oh..shower!!!! “Downstairs” had a couch, two comfy recliners, a great kitchen and loads of windows. We did find out a lot of state parks would not let us in. Too long.
Class C vehicles were really nice but with Labs not enough room. At least for us. I need a space to sit and work or chill. So we then looked at a 33′ rig. The layout was interesting. Bedroom in front and “upstairs” then the living area with kitchen. In the back there was another room with a door that could be a room for company or a computer area. I think I really like an open concept.
As we were leaving, Larry said he’d really like to see my artwork and,or, have it hanging for sale in his office. LIGHTBULB moment.
I came home and got “paintingacrossAmerica.com” as my domain name and now trying to figure out how to do a new blog here with that domain and put art up as we go..or prepare..to go. I will admit it’s scary to think we wouldn’t have a solid “house” but then the other side is, no lawn to mow, I could still have flowers, no outrageous repairs, but we will have some, no pool to keep clean, we’ll have mountain streams and rivers…crazy neighbors?? we can drive away.
Larry’s business is booming. Hmm. I think the baby boomer generation has decided to finally “drop out” and enjoy once more what we thought life would be like. I’m excited.
I’ll let you know when I get the new blog going…of course it will be small Florida paintings to start..lol…
Before I go..I have been doing acrylic painting again since I have more students coming to my studio. This is an 18 x18 . Hope you like it.
