Peru 2024

                                                                   P  E  R  U I've always been intrigued by this world and its cultures. There's so much to know and discover! Our latest random vacation destination pick took us to South America.  Our first time. The weeks and then finally days leading up to setting foot on Peruvian soil were filled with excitement of the newest Unknown to reveal itself. We landed in Lima late on a warm February night. The air feels familiar with its noticeable comfortable humidity.  After receiving our luggage we opted for a taxi to get us to our hotel 40 minutes away in the popular neighborhood called Miraflores in the heart of Lima. Traffic and how people drive is always a dead giveaway that makes you realize you're in a foreign country. Peruvian drivers seem to communicate by honking. Lets just say, they have a lot to say! Lanes get created randomly when desired and there is NO such thing as a safe dist

Creating balance

A few months have passed. I am contemplating what to write this time. What is the message I want to share by doing this?  Sure a blog can be used as a platform for so many reasons. It's tempting to get sucked into ones ego taking over and making it a "look what I can do" - platform.  For me I realize, it is a way to express myself, to bring a smile to your face and ultimately your day. But to also bring a smile to my face, because while my life journey contains struggles and hick-ups, at the end of the day its full of gratitude. In a post "pandemic" time, inspiration is certainly something we all crave without question. Occasionally I am asked if we're settled in, now that we moved into our new home. The answer comes without hesitation: Yes! Since the day we were handed the keys 🔑 to be exact.  When you have a vision, you'll get results.  So often people tell me they are envious of Joe and I. We did what many people imagine doing. You know what? A dream

Walk-in closet renovation

Image
When we started our travels August 1st 2019, we had created a walk-in closet in the back of the living room.  Downsizing was tough enough, so I at least had to hold on to something that was dear to me: My rather large assortment of clothes...well and shoes!  One has to travel in style, you know. The back of the trailer when we originally started to renovate. BEFORE we ever put in the walk-in closet. Then came the finished walk-in closet that didn't survive. In order to house these clothes and all, Joe had to build a clothes rack,  that stretched from wall to wall. Then we also had brought 2 dressers from our previous home, for that space. It was a good set up because it was all situated under the king sized loft, that was above. This loft was then used as additional storage space. Well the rough Texas highways did a number on this construction. First, half of the above loft partially collapsed.  Joe fixed it by reinforcing the structure. But the rough
