When I planned my grand getaway I was thinking along the lines of getting an RV and traveling that way but then I found some house sitting websites and started lining up some house sits for the summer. 3 in Washington state. Don’t have that RV yet but still planning to get one.
I am here in Edmonds , Washington at my first house sit. 9 chickens, 2 cats, and 2 bunnies. Pretty easy animals to care for. Feed and water them all, clean litter boxes for bunnies and cats, scoop out chicken coop once in awhile.
Edmonds is a quaint little town. I have to admit that when I got here there was a lot of traffic from Seattle. Edmonds is only about 20 miles from downtown Seattle. But , Edmonds is a quaint little waterfront town. I love walking the waterfront which if you go one end it another and back is about a 3.5 mile walk. I also found a yoga center to go to that has a new client deal for $20 for 20 days. Perfect as I am here for 3 weeks. And , I love yoga.
Meet Bigfoot and lovely chicken. I don’t know this little chickens name but she was so cute and jumped up on my lap while I was eating watermelon and giving them all some pieces of it. Bigfoot is a cool cat. I like watching the chickens. They are quite full of personality.
Stay tuned for tales of Whales, Eagles, and a fiasco with the chickens . Coming soon.
Sues Wanderings 
Hi Sue, I’m enjoying your blog and hope you will keep writing. I came here from RV Sue whom I have followed since she began in 2011. My hubby and I have been camping for many years and have traveled all over the US and a little of Canada. We started with a popup trailer, then went to a fiberglass egg which we loved. Three years ago we bought a Class C RV to have more comfort on long trips. We miss the egg trailer though and will probably sell our motor home and go back to a simpler trailer.
Are you on Facebook? If so, there’s a page called The Silver Tent that you might want to join. It’s for wild, wise and adventurous women over 50. Many of them housesit, too.
Cheers,
Marcia

Thank you Marcia. Yes, I am on Facebook and do post a lot on there. I am just learning how to use the blog and sometimes find it confusing.

I’m from RV Sue too! I couldn’t resist another adventurer blog. I am 56 and my kids are 20 and will be on their own before I know it, so I am considering the vagabond life, at least for a while. I love the idea of pet/house sitting – it would be an ideal thing for me and I love camping so that would be cool in between.

Hi Marcia , Janet and Dawn. All of a sudden I have people reading my blog. I will soon post an update . Have done a lot since last posting so have a few updates to post. Problem with tent camping is that even when I do have internet , my computer dies out fast . Have not had much internet for a couple weeks tho as I spent 10 days in Glacier National park.

I know that feeling. I never take my laptop when I’m tent camping. But then I’m only gone a few days at a time.
