Still here...

Yep, still here on blogspot, and still here in southern KS. I've gotta say: I really enjoyed being stuck in my unstuck home for some time in KC...over a year, really. Made some great friends there. As it looks now, though, I'm not likely to return for quite some time. That's the nature of the job and life in the RV, I guess. I'm looking at changing things up in an even bigger way, though, and looking at the potential for jobs in the Frigid North. Yes, I am looking for a job and dwelling place up in the St. Paul area to abide near to the one who possesses my heart. Still, I'm somewhat loathe to give up the RV, and one of the [many] things we share is an interest in getting back to the natural and fundamental skills of life. It occurred to me that I could purchase a plot of land in downtown St. Paul/Minneapolis and park the RV on it to reside in, then develop it into a community garden. I could be the Johnny Appleseed of community gardens. Cool concept...maybe frigid even. St. Paul gets a lot colder in winter than KS does, and freezing water tanks is a constant threat even in our relatively warm KS winters. Will need to look into it a bit more, but I'm certainly pondering the idea. Whatever comes of it, I'd really like to be living up there (RV or no) within a couple months.
