Hi there!
Hereās where I share everyday moments, ponderings, and things that catch my eyeā¦ some meaningful, some quirky, all real.
The backdrop of my storiesā¦
In October 2015, I moved into my cozy little home on wheels and hit the road. By December 2025, I needed a changeā¦ and thatās when extended stay hotels got added to the mix.
My nomadic lifestyle is a blend of van life and hotel lifeā¦ and I call it Portable Living.
Beyond the backdropā¦
Thereās more to my story than living life on wheels. For a few nuggets about me and whatās behind my writing, head over to my About page.
If youāre up for it, swing by my Meet the Regulars page and Iāll introduce you to the people, places, and things that often co-star in my stories.

Life Right Now
Whereabouts: In my Illinois hometown area until early October š
Home-base: I've ditched the campground and set up house in an air conditioned hotel room thru the end of August.
Antics: Dodging heat waves, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and now Canadian wildfire smoke. Mother Nature is being extra this year.

Things I Write About
Family: Life as it happens with my daughter (Nikki), Auntie M, and those who drift into the story.
Health: Co-existing with a body that likes to do things differentlyā¦ MCS, food allergies, and other health-related happenings.
Notes: Thoughts, reflections, and scribbles that don't fit the other topics. This is probably the heart of my blog.
Portable Living: My Connie-style nomadic life, the places I call home, and the road in between.
Sparks: Posts inspired by a writing prompt, blogging challenge, or a fellow Blogger. You never know what might spark a story.
