I don't know. Maybe I'm just grumpy at this hour, but this craft of ours seems more and more like Avon or Tupperware for the new millenium. _________________ Colin Day - UK Voiceover

The idea of living and travelling in one of those has always appealed to me but, like most of us I imagine, I'd need/prefer to keep the house too. It's certainly a resourceful approach and the story really interests me, but raises far more questions than it answers.
One wonders how much she's following a dream and how much making the best of a bad situation. Even if it's mostly the latter l still kind of like it - as long as she's happy that way. Maybe it just beats living in Shrewsbury? Good luck to her. |

I like the idea. It's probably easier than building a pillow "booth" at the Holiday Inn. _________________ "Bailey"

I've talked to Karen a bit here and there. Trying to get her to come this way so we can get a bike ride in. I think George has consulted with her on the RV studio. _________________ Wicked huge.....in India.

Wow. If she can make it work, more power to her on her quest for discovery and travel! _________________ jonahcummings |

Hokey smokes, it's Karen Saltus! I used to get together with her in Portland, ME for "VO Girls' Night Out".

Karen is the real deal, no Avon lady. Yes, I consulted with her a tiny bit, it was mostly her ingenuity. I am jealous, someday I hope to do the same thing (before I am 64). _________________ If it sounds good, it is good.
