A Writer’s Stories From the Road
Retired, traveling and sharing adventures

My husband and I retired. We sat at home in quarantine for months. Then decided it was time to grab the wheel and hit the road. As we travel, my husband drives our 40-foot beast, and I sit beside him telling stories aloud to keep him awake and often writing to record our experiences. I share our adventures through stories as a way to validate my existence. We are still out here world!

This story is meant to be satirical humor. Walmart parking lots offers a great alternative for many who are traveling. I will add an article in the future explaining how to avoid the unpleasant. But this is what happened the first time we parked at Walmart.
