I shopped and cooked today- made 2 kinds of soup for the week and a salmon casserole for my lunch at work. I am not so sure the soups are that tasty- one I accidentally added too much cinnamon but I will eat it anyway..... it is full of vegetables - kale, broccoli, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots , onion, celery but regardless of how everything came out, there is fruit and vegetables now in my house- The other soup is made from acorn squash and apples. Very hardy. I am planning on doing a fruit and almond milk shake in the morning, lunch can be soup or salmon and dinner will be soup.
This getting healthy stuff is hard work. I really do want to live and my eating habits are going to put me in an early grave. Every week at work, we give a dementia diagnosis to someone in their 60's which usually means no more driving. I will scream my head off if when I retire I need to give up driving before I am 70!
I have been counting on getting myself a little Airstream trailer and touring around the USA....... my plan is to sell the house in Voorhess, buy whatever condo I can afford in Ventnor, and take to the road. I will get myself a decent SUV to pull it and I think I can manage the trailer by myself as they are between 16 and 22 feet long. The Airstreams are low to the ground so they are less prone to tipping and I can drop it at a campsite and use the car for exploring the area. I have seen some nice ones that are just a few years old and hardly even used. I hope to travel 6 months and be back in New Jersey for 6 months. There is a good chance that Madison might be married by then and considering having a child or two so I want to flexible in case she needs me to be around.
I became more convinced that this is what I want to do after visiting Jackie and Jay down in Tennessee this summer. We had such a nice time in Knoxville attending the Blue Plate Special music hour at the radio station that I realized there is so much more to see and experience than just National Parks. I really hope I get to do this. I know I will have so much fun doing the research and planning it. There are plenty of blogs and such of other people doing the same thing. Isn't this little trailer cute!!! Lucky for me, the biggest East coast sales division of Airstreams is right here in the great state of New Jersey.... just up the road a piece. They will have everything I will need. Colonial Airstream 1121 Route 88/ Ocean Ave. Lakewood, NJ 08701
Lightweight, nimble, and fuel-efficient, the Airstream Sport sets a new standard for ease of use. Perfect for those who want to hitch up and go, the only question is where you’ll take it first.
