We've officially been living in our RV for over a month.  I have to say that we are all loving it. I feel happier here than I did the entire time we lived in our rental for a year. I don't miss all our stuff, and I truly love being with all these people. I wanted to share a few tidbits that we have learned so far along the way. ::Always keep a can of air freshener in the little bathroom that sits right next to the dinette where you eat food. Always. ::If you want to warm up your coffee in the microwave and the air conditioner is running, turn off the hot water heater so that you don't pop the circuit. Again. ::Don't forget to turn the hot water heater back on. ::Take the batteries out of the smoke detector if you are going to fry anything. Just do it, and don't be a worry-wart, but don't forget to put them back in right when you're done. ::Your slow-cooker is your bff. ::Stop shopping and cooking like you have all the room in the world to stor

He came up to our table to say hi to her. I looked up to find a  pair of warm, intelligent brown eyes, a mischievous grin, and a friendly nose marked by a huge, angry red gash right between his eyes. "Hi" to Janet. "Hi" to me.  "What happened to you, Rob?" Janet wasn't about to let something like a head wound slide.  "An iron fell out of my closet."  I didn't laugh, but I may have smiled really big. And
