A Twit and a Shower

I did a Google search to see what came up for Vansteaders, and I came upon this Twit... you know, like a Twitter post....

"New corner of the internet found! Vansteaders, vanbassadors, vandwellers, vantramps. People who blog about life in a van. Wifi yes. Bath no."

Wow, very funny!

Agreed, I don't take a *bath* often... but shower, yes!

It just so happens that my brilliant husband's beautiful shower mod (seen here: Oh Wonderful Shower) isn't being used right now due to a water pump failure. A super-duper upgraded and properly modified water pump is in our near future.

That being the case, I did what many other Vandwellers do... I constructed a shower. It was warm and wonderful!

So there you have it Twitty One! <grin>

Heidi, where are you going?

I suppose many songs have been made up around the homestead... to celebrate, alleviate boredom, to serenade a sweetheart.  While driving toward Florida yesterday, my sweetheart created a lovely song based on a favorite from his childhood.

Heidi, where are you going?

Outside to dump the tanks..

Heidi's agile like a gibbon,

graceful like gazelle.

Then Heidi missed the sidewalk...

Oh my goodness!

Oh my soul!

There goes Heidi down the hole!

Heidi! Heidi!

Glug. Glug.

No, I didn't fall in the dump station hole....

again!
