Summer is in full swing now and most people are planning vacation or in the middle of one. Not so for me and my partner, Ian. We are in the middle of packing house and we have just over two weeks to complete this arduous task. The Buyers wanted a quick closing and we agreed, believing that we would find a home within their requested time frame. But it was not to be. My 91-year-old mom's terminal cancer diagnosis put our house-hunting plans on hold. I stay with her a few days a week, rotating days with family. God bless her. Cancer is beyond horrible. All positive thoughts and prayers are most welcome for my mom, Miriam. She's a feisty Irish lady, maintaining her quirky sense of humour despite the constant pain. 

Mom, circa 1957.

Mom 'driving' for the first time in 70 years.

So, rather than purchasing a home 'just because,' we decided to purchase a couple of sea containers (not to live in, haha). The contents of our home are being packed into these containers as I speak/write. Ian's sister has graciously offered storage on her beautiful property. The upside to this is that we recently purchased a live-aboard sailboat. Named THE Escape Route, she's a 43' Beneteau that will become our on-the-water home until we find our on-the-land home. 

Our on-the-water home, THE Escape Route

On a happier note, Book 1 of my trilogy, The Twisted Climb, is available in audio format! If you're travelling long distance, it's a great way to have the whole family fall in love/hate with Jayden and experience the incredible adventures she, Connor and Max face in the dream world. Books 2 and 3, Darkness Descends and A Bright Darkness, will keep you captivated as they experience more trials in their journey to the Un-World.

Enjoy your summer and make sure you tell those you love that you love them!
