RVlife
This is where we are parked and living at the present moment. A peaceful campground in Cochiti Lake, New Mexico. What you see in the picture is our home of 5 1/2 years. It’s not your normal home and not everyone can RV life or live on the road as a nomad full time; but after a couple of years, we found the new “normal” to us. My husband and I work remotely and follow the nice weather with our two adventure cats, Mango and Kali.

Pirates of the Caribbean
Original "Pooped Pirate" scene from the first 30 years. On first glance, the premise of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction might seem to be one of the most morally objectionable premises for a family-friendly attraction.
