    We Got Here With A LOT Of Help From Our Friends (And Family)

    We have been living quite a whirlwind for at least a month and a half. From packing up our home on Sarah Way where we lived for 17 years, to saying our goodbyes to the familiar and trading it for the unknown, to getting our furry friends ready for a lengthy journey. Days blended, time…

  • Plundering Our Pantry

    Plundering Our Pantry

    Lately, we have been trying to hit two birds with one stone: increasing our home cooked meals and using up pantry stores prior to our international move. It has been fun and economical to find recipes that use multiple ingredients we want to get rid of. Andrew and I are both Minnesota natives and almost…

  • The F Word

    The F Word

    I am a sailor reincarnated. I have been known to use the four letter F word creatively, liberally, and at times superfluously. Some of it is genetics – my mother is also a feisty cursing wordsmith. This post, however, is about a different F word. One of the primary reasons we decided to retire several…

    April Retirement Status

    Car: One of the first things we did in April was sell our 2015 VW Convertible. It had pretty low mileage, about 45,000, and was in great condition. We used Carvana and the process was super easy. The only downside was that we had to drive it to Salem, which is a 3.5 hour drive…

    My prized possession is an upright Nickelodeon piano. We bought it from a neighbor in 2006 about a year after moving into our house on Sarah Way. We hired movers to roll it down the sidewalk from their house to ours. It was a hilarious sight to behold. I love that it is old and…

    Furry Friends Will Travel More Than 5,500 Miles

    We have been crazy pet people for pretty much always. We don’t have human children, and our furry kids are very important to us. At the largest, our brood was up to ten pets. We have owned cats, dogs, a hedgehog, bunnies, and a guinea pig. When we started planning for early retirement and an…

  • Stress Busting One Stitch At A Time

    Stress Busting One Stitch At A Time

    Post retirement, I have been spending time catching up on cross stitching projects that had fallen by the wayside while I was working as a 911 dispatcher. Between twelve hour shifts and overall exhaustion I was not able to dedicate as much time as I would have liked to one of my favorite hobbies. I…
