Home, Sweet Home!

In the six plus year that we have now been on the road, I have come to the conclusion that one of the common things among those who made a successful transition is the making of the RV into a home. No one would buy a new house and then leave everything just as they are in all of the other houses in the neighborhood, yet many RV owners find the RV decorated, so they do very little by way of personalizing the RV. If it is to be your home, it must reflect the people who live there.

When you enter our home, you immediately see a couple of things that my talented wife did to change the appearance to our home. Notice the sand painting clock, the god’s eye and the window valence and curtains. Like most motorhomes, ours came with the standard padded valences. This one is now vinyl with cloth curtains. Next you would probably notice the drapes up front, custom made for our home, by Pam.

Pam’s kitchen is decorated with flowers and with pigs, just as it was in our land locked home. Most of the flowers are now of plastic, but not all. The pigs are from her collection of many years, along with a few that have joined the family in our travels.

In every home there is somewhere located the gallery of family pictures. In our home those pictures of our ancestors are in the hallway and one wall of the bedroom. Our kids and grandkids are located through out our home, and move as more current pictures replace them. And there is also the usual refrigerator art, sent to us by our grandchildren.

Pam recovered the bedroom valences with deer hide saved from my hunting days in Wyoming. She then added kachinas that she made in punch-needle and then appliquéd to the leather. The sand painting is one from an Arizona Indian reservation

The final touches are some pillows Pam made and a comforter to match

And the last pictures are just a few from around the house. This truly is our home! 

There is also one final touch that you would find at any of our longer term sites. We carry with us a bird feeder that is hung in a tree near by, a yard light that we set up with a dawn to dusk setting and usually a few hanging flower baskets in a nearby tree.
