White Sands Ntl. Park, New Mexico


We visited this beautiful  park, located 45 miles away from Las Cruces, New Mexico on a beautiful sunny January day.


The gypsum dunes make for a nice walk, since they are firmer than regular sand dunes. 


Dogs are allowed on leashes and let me tell you, our dogs loved the sand hike!

Life on the road is different

A lot of things are going thru my mind tonight. Most of the time we stay at camp grounds or State parks. Tonight we happen to be en 'route to our next destination and are staying the night at a halfway point.  I am sitting here in a Walmart parking lot  looking out my livingroom window, not far from Lake Tahoe in Nevada on this beautiful sunny September afternoon.  I am reflecting back on the last 8 weeks of my new gypsy life. The life that my husband and I chose very willingly. Is it what I thought it would be? Is it what I was hoping it would be? It's what you make of it. I am a firm believer that we are not the victim of our circumstances. We make choices and if we don't like them, then we need to adjust them. A close and caring friend of the family wrote us this beautiful letter not too long ago, and how true it is! "Dear Ulrike and Joe, You are now seeing Phase One of your new life more clearly. It's the Discovery Phase wherein you begi

Sanford, FL Weekend Getaway

Image
S a n f o r d Joe and I like to explore our surroundings,  near and far. Just recently we decided to do a little weekend getaway to Sanford,  Florida. Sanford sits on the northern tip of the greater Orlando, Florida area. From there its a decent drive to more central Orlando themeparks etc. But unlike Orlando with its stop and go traffic the traffic in Sanford is within "normal range".  So we booked house sitters for our boys as usual and were ready to go! Now, we've never heard of Sanford before. But that just happened to be the location of an Eagles cover band concert we wanted to see. It being a 3 hour drive from our home, it was worth staying there overnight.  Let me tell you, hotel or Airbnb rates for that area were insane. So we thought we lucked out when we finally came across a little motel online that was actually affordable.  Holy cow,  it ended up being a dump. It took an internal pep-talk with myself to not opt for sleeping in our car that night. B
