You two are an inspiration for me. I'm working these days on really separating house expenses (with rental income) and RV full-timing expenses. I surely do find that I'm not tempted to eat out much when I can have great home-cooked and nutritious meals at 'home on wheels.'<br />I'm still trying to figure out how you put a different photo on each day's blog.<br />mpmps2343https://www.blogger.com/profile/06059253597064329074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-88750243680584653012013-09-01T16:14:26.651-04:002013-09-01T16:14:26.651-04:00Internet is expensive in Canada compared to the US...Internet is expensive in Canada compared to the USA even if in a more populated area.

Yes, this is exactly the same as an aircard, but it distributes a wi-fi signal so that both of us can connect at the same time. This one is through Bell, so we can use it anywhere in Canada and the price and plan don't change. It's also pay as you go, so we can cancel it before we leave for Africa.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-66529539650326228302013-09-01T12:50:04.389-04:002013-09-01T12:50:04.389-04:00One day I will take you up on that offer George!One day I will take you up on that offer George!Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-47631364456496708502013-09-01T12:49:25.745-04:002013-09-01T12:49:25.745-04:00Thanks Sft...we are enjoying your blog as well!Thanks Sft...we are enjoying your blog as well!Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-78072704983506251782013-09-01T12:48:44.113-04:002013-09-01T12:48:44.113-04:00We'll update you in tomorrow's blog post J...We'll update you in tomorrow's blog post Juan Grande.

Loved the update about August...Hi Kevin & Ruth<br /><br />Loved the update about August's expenses. So interesting.<br /><br />We are aiming for a really low Grocery total this month-any money left is going into the sealed pot towards our 2020 adventure in Africa.<br /><br />I've not been drinking alcohol much recently. The last time was in Scotland with my Mum-we took some homemade sloe gin with us and had a nip in the evening. We did buy baileys with ice one evening at the bar-but it cost us £6.70! So that was a one off! When I'm away I like to start the day with a clear head so I don't like to drink. Mr Sft does like to sample the local real ale so I may have a sip of his. <br /><br />The internet is our luxury too-so I don't worry about it.<br /><br />Regarding your last post: Loved the photos. We have so many too but may enter this competition. So thank you for mentioning it. Our camera is just a £250 digital so nothing flash but we have caught some amazing moments with it. As you say you've got to be in it to win it! :)<br /><br />I love the beautiful headers you have for your posts. Each day I go 'wow'.<br /><br />And finally....thank you for the post about the B-17. This has inspired us to visit an air museum about an hour away from us because they have that European airworthy B-17-the Sally B there! We are off in October and are very excited. Hoping to get in for free using some reward supermarket loyalty vouchers.<br /><br />Sft xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545087114808861192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-66930040171594395122013-09-01T12:16:38.240-04:002013-09-01T12:16:38.240-04:00What's happening with the contest for flower p...What's happening with the contest for flower power?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698401909250295564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-20180953214008213862013-09-01T11:43:09.599-04:002013-09-01T11:43:09.599-04:00Was thinking of Kevin last week, for Donna's b...Was thinking of Kevin last week, for Donna's birthday I splurged and bought a 6 pack of Moosehead.$7.00..
