Our Story

Welcome to our site! We are Joanne & Steve. After 20+ years working for a city school department and police department, we sold almost everything, bought an RV, and started living on the road with our three children. Joanne homeschooled and worked online. Over the years we worked for Jellystone Parks as well as volunteered. We stopped traveling after 7 years and bought a house. Steve continued police work with the National Park Service and Joanne taught Kindergarten. Now that our three kids are adults, we have decided to travel more and explore.

Filling in the Gaps


We have had this space behind our couch between that and the window.  A good space for items to fall down into.  So after talking about it for several months, Steve finally created a little table/shelf for the space.  The whole project cost about $4.20.  He used scrap wood from Home Depot and 2 dowels to create a very narrow table which slides in behind the couch and sort of wedges into the space  between the window valances.  He may paint it.  It is just short of touching the couch so we'll keep our eyes open for a slightly wider piece.  The quick, cheap project is working out quite nicely.
