We are slowly getting over the recent trauma and hope to be on our way as soon as a few repairs are done. Used cars have always been our mainstay, but this last time we had two payments and not enough buffer which we are going to avoid at all costs this go around for sure. Thanks again.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-37913953666485890132009-11-02T10:03:37.292-05:002009-11-02T10:03:37.292-05:00Linda, I am a little late in commenting on your tr...Linda, I am a little late in commenting on your trip. I am very impressed with your thoughtful responses to life's mean little twists.<br />My partner and I sold our house a few years back; then she lost her job just after I retired.. then then the story goes.. we did what you are doing rethought LIFE.<br /><br />We bought a smaller simple house with a garage for a studio and a garden.. we have 2 cats. we bought used vehicles. We paid and paid bills and try to keep from being in debt. this is hard.<br />The fixed income is a rough transition and living low takes some practice. We are grateful everyday for health, family, insurance, cars that work and the new old RV which allows us to get out of "dodge" occasionally.<br /><br />I wish you the best in your house search and also in your adventures. Blessing to you both along the way. Stay in touch with Off Center and a wild patience.<br />Joan and LanaJoan Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12969249085510950816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-55989368153774955062009-10-15T13:23:31.526-04:002009-10-15T13:23:31.526-04:00Hi Peter, a floating home, like how the Cubans tra...Hi Peter, a floating home, like how the Cubans travel to Florida and somehow they make it on precarious homemade boats.

I have been intrigued by the onggi pots made in Korea and want to try those one of these days once we get moved. Chilis are very good for you and it seems every culture has some variety of them they use in their cuisine. Interesting in how they fish for the salmonid with such a short fishing line, you would think the fish would be frightened off, but I guess not they must get used to the humans wading in the water. One more week and we are out of here.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-37203497625265056112009-10-13T15:35:01.147-04:002009-10-13T15:35:01.147-04:00Thanks Linda, is a pleasure your visit.

It was a long trip very enjoyable and interesting, I made contact with the potters in Seoul and I hope to return to Korea for a ceramics workshop next summer. <br />Is dry fly fishing with a strange racket with no more than 15 m. of wire, there are little salmonid in the river, very good kitchen with soy sauce and sugar in sweet and sour. The chilli is the base of the entire Korean cuisine and I love it. <br />Soon I will put in my blog more photos of Korean ceramics.<br /> Bello your motorhome!<br />CiaoDocks-Potteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495665991512053148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-71401111931672843452009-10-13T13:42:35.449-04:002009-10-13T13:42:35.449-04:00Thanks Craig, we're look forward to it.Thanks Craig, we're look forward to it.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-35386013310984671402009-10-13T13:30:52.693-04:002009-10-13T13:30:52.693-04:00Wow what an adventure!!Wow what an adventure!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09382615510183390534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-74350911628256514762009-10-13T11:23:29.755-04:002009-10-13T11:23:29.755-04:00Hey Michael, thanks, I do hope I get to stop by wh...Hey Michael, thanks, I do hope I get to stop by when we get out that way, so watch for me.<br /><br />Hi Cindy, thanks, you have the greatest ideas. We were thinking along those lines to do with our moving van after we get moved - a traveling ceramic studio - wouldn't that be fun - who knows it might be in the works. Yes there is the airstream traveling ceramic gallery in which several artists participate - bring the art to the people.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-70986672410846086102009-10-13T11:12:04.652-04:002009-10-13T11:12:04.652-04:00You're gonna be traveling like a Rock Star!!

Less to clean I can handle that. The pets are going all three cats, not sure how we are going to do that yet. I have about a week to figure it out.<br /><br />Hi Judy, thanks, our storage bus will stay in storage until we find a new place to live. But I will be driving my surburban which I think I will have the cats in - Gary doesn't want the cats tearing up the motorhome, plus if we open the door they may run out and we wouldn't get them back. We are heading South then East; we are in about the middle of California because about the time we leave the winter will be setting in and we don't want to encounter snow if we can help it. We will do a pre-run to the Coast where I hope to meet Patricia Griffin in person if we can coordinate.<br /><br />Hi Miri, thanks we are heading for a pre-run to the coast and then southeast to avoid the snow and bad weather hopefully.<br /><br />Hi Tracey, thanks, we have done this before and have gotten used to each other after 24 years of marriage so we should be ok.<br /><br />Hi Meredith. thanks we couldn't go to far West or we'd be in the ocean, just two and a half hours away, then it's southeast.
