While I work on my post about Apalachicola, Florida, I will give you some eye candy. I did a little driving almost every day to make it to a friend’s house tomorrow. It is 10 hours from Apalach. On the way I stopped at no less than 4 dog shelters. […] 3 Dogs And A Chick?March 2, 2014 in Nomad Life tagged Animals / Dogs / Florida by Elisha
4 So, I made the leap. I said, “Gosh dang it, I’m going to pack up first thing, find a place for breakfast, and get my adventure back.” And that’s what I did. I made my way down the road to a little town I knew I would be visiting, even […] Miracles Do ExistFebruary 13, 2014 in Nomad Life tagged Apalachicola / Apalachicola River / Florida / river by Elisha
Apalachicola River-Sunset, 5″ x 7″ watercolor on claybord ©Elisha Dasenbrock 2014 I am a big fan of landscapes….when other people do them. However, I occasionally get a bug and have to try one for myself. I went for a boat ride the other day with a new friend and took […] Apalachicola River – SunsetFebruary 13, 2014 in Art / Nomad Life tagged Apalachicola / Apalachicola River / Claybord / Florida / landscape / river / Sunset / Watercolor by Elisha
4 I was so unbelievably depressed last night. It rained all day and it was cold and my battery kept dying (which is a cardinal sin in full-timing) so I didn’t get a lot of heat. Luckily the dogs slept with me and kept me so warm I didn’t need the […] Girls Just Wanna Have Fu-un.February 8, 2014 in Nomad Life / RV by Elisha
So far Florida is only sort of living up to my expectations. Yes, I did get to wear a tank top yesterday and take the dogs for a long walk. Yes, my camp site is free. However, you get what you pay for in this case. The camp area is […] FloridaFebruary 6, 2014 in Art / Links / Nomad Life / RV by Elisha
For about a week, I stayed at the Fenton Campground in The Land Between The Lakes. It was completely deserted. I loved it. The reason I stayed so long in one place, and Kentucky for all that, is because I had a few things I had to do […] Kentucky ElkFebruary 3, 2014 in Nomad Life / RV tagged Animals / RV Maintenance / Wild Life by Elisha
If I walk about a quarter mile or less, the view above is what I have. I really love this area. There’s a planetarium I plan to see tomorrow, there’s a great, old bridge that is very scary to drive an RV over, and best of all, there’s absolutely no […] First Days On The RoadJanuary 29, 2014 in Business / Nomad Life / RV tagged Bedroom / Dead Battery / Dogs / Leaks / Owls / Pets by Elisha
Tomorrow I drive off into the sunset. At least temporarily. Next week while I am showing the RV to the family, Johnny is going to finish putting temporary doors on the over the cab and to finish installing the back up camera. I moved things in and out of the […] I’m Outta HereJanuary 20, 2014 in RV by Elisha
Wait, what? Yeah, I had the flu for two weeks. I have barely touched the RV, which is kind of scary since I leave in a little over one week. It is not going to be completely finished, but I knew that awhile back. I will be staying with my […] All I Want For Christmas Is The FluJanuary 9, 2014 in Nomad Life tagged Beasley / Dogs / Lola / Pets by Elisha
I used RV And Van Surplus to order some dinette cushions online. I realize now, never buy something custom over the internet. At least, not if you can go to a local place. I try to shop local whenever possible, but sometimes I am a little lazy. Especially when I […] CushionsDecember 22, 2013 in RV tagged Make-Over / Problems / Remodel / RV / RV Makeover / RV Remodel by Elisha
This is currently my new entrance. I have a few more things to add, like my fire extinguisher and a towel bar instead of using the grab bar. (For anyone who doesn’t have dogs, the towel is to dry them off.) The giant purple dry erase board was made from […] EntranceDecember 20, 2013 in RV tagged Make-Over / Organizing / Remodel / RV / RV Makeover / RV Remodel by Elisha
This is where the microwave used to be. I now have two, lovely, although currently unpainted, cabinet doors. These are made from scratch by my very handy friend. He worked really hard on them. Inside: Once I paint the inside, I plan on painting a conversion chart above the spice […] New Cabinet Doors and StorageDecember 18, 2013 in RV tagged Construction / Kitchen / Make-Over / Organizing / Remodel / RV / RV Remodel by Elisha
I have so many posts coming. I have new dinette cushions (which are giving me all kinds of problems, but that’s another post,) I have a new ottoman, and I have so much storage. First up, the newest item: I originally went to Target for a small storage ottoman. I […] New Seating/Storage Galore!December 17, 2013 in RV tagged Decorating / Dogs / Make-Over / Pets / Remodel / RV / RV Makeover / RV Remodel by Elisha
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I visited my family for a few days and had a great time. I took Friday-Monday morning to work on the RV with my friend. He added crown moulding to the wall and I made preparations to move the light […] Living Room UpdateDecember 3, 2013 in RV tagged Construction / Make-Over / Remodel / RV / RV Makeover / RV Remodel by Elisha
My bedroom closet has a few hacks. I cut up a shoe organizer and stapled it on the doors and on the ceiling above the rack. I also cut down a septic tank hose to put on the rod. This keeps my hangers from moving around when I’m driving.

Back by popular demand, I have a few pictures to share. It has been awhile since these were taken and I have even more to post tomorrow or Thursday. Bedroom floor: I bought this floor at Lumber Liquidators. Or as we like to call it, Liquid Lumberdators.

My babies are ready to go. Although, I am not the best judge of doggy clothing size. The costumes were a very tough decision, but I felt they needed a realistic representation of their personalities. Today I am starting a very short term employment opportunity. My friend’s mom needs a […] Happy Halloween!October 31, 2013 in RV by Elisha
I broke my phone screen several weeks ago (the Beast strikes again) and finally dropped it off for repair on Friday. Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures off the phone before. So over a week ago, I hurt my back again. I couldn’t find my tennis shoes that I’d […] Link LoveOctober 1, 2013 in Nomad Life / RV tagged Construction / Make-Over / Remodel / RV / RV Makeover / RV Remodel / Working Out by Elisha
I have been really busy since I quit work. We have been working a lot on the RV and I emptied out my old place. I haven’t been taking as many pictures right now, but I have updated the master lists.

This is what my door used to look like. It’s a little Plain Jane for my liking. I was going through the Organize Your Art Biz class. One of the linked articles was about Feng Shui and making your entrance very inviting.
