Trailer Trash

October 29, 2023

It’s true. Sharon and I are husband and wife. We have been so for four wonderful months. Though it was a very short courtship, I am thrilled with my choice. Sharon continues to exceed my expectations in so many ways.

Once again, I have come to believe that my best days are ahead of me.

In the last four months, we have been continuing the nomadic journey. I have introduced her to many of my friends and family in New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, California. I have met her family and friends, too, in Texas and Washington State.

Along the way, we bought a pickup truck, we named Balto after the famous sled dog. We also bought a fixer upper travel trailer, we named Sparky, because he lives in Sparks, NV. We are nearly ready to get going on the shakedown cruise with Balto and Sparky.

We got an invitation to our friends’ Halloween party near Trinidad, CA. Yesterday we dressed up as trailer trash to attend the party.

While in character, I explained that I was moving up in the world. Going from a status of Homeless Man to that of Trailer Trash, I had aspirations of continuing up to Con Man, and then Politician.

Sharon put on quite a show as my pregnant bride. She gave birth to Winnie the Pooh during the party.

Looking forward, we plan to head south where we can use the trailer without risk of freezing the plumbing. We will get back to Northern California for our planned family Thanksgiving in Yreka.

Thereafter, I would like to bring Sharon to South America and Europe. She’s studying Spanish and already knows some French. We are still working out details for the trip.
