Yes, it’s green yes, there are mountains and beaches all within a short, 2-hour drive either direction from me. I know a lot of people here love the cool misty, rainy days, but I am tired of it. The weather in Oregon is depressing and difficult for me to deal with 9 months of the year. I am definitely looking forward to bluer skies and regular summer thunderstorms. (3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, covered patio, bonus room, meticulously maintained) So, living nearer to my family, that I haven’t had the privilege of doing since I left “home” in 1985, will be nothing short of amazing. One of my sisters also lives in Bowling Green and the other and her family lives in McLean, VA. It’s exactly my style, the right size, and in a perfect location (it borders a public golf course, so the city takes care of all my “yard work” for free!). My parents, getting older and slowing down, have offered to sell half ownership of their lovely home to me at a very family-friendly price. You may be asking yourself why I would pick up the pieces and choose to move to such a far away place with such a completely different culture and climate and leave a good job and the friends I love to start over. It’s also only an hour from Nashville I may just love a little Honkey-tonking now and then. Now that you know me a bit more, let's talk about this epic road trip: Bowling Green, Kentucky is the destination- home of the Corvette, Western Kentucky University, caves, bourbon, horses, tobacco and Bluegrass. I grew up going to Disneyland, enjoy learning about Disney history, and worked as a CM at the Blue Bayou Restaurant while I went to school at UC Irvine. I also love most kinds of music and dancing, quiet evenings and Peter Pan floats.

Perhaps someday I'll pick up where I left off with learning how to fly. I enjoy home decorating, fresh flowers, and going to Disney as often as I can, but have sights on Italy and Greece, the Canadian Maritimes, and East Africa. I love photography, travel, nature, coffee, fine dining, writing, and spending time with friends. I also have experience in Long-term care, infusion nursing, Pre-op, Med-Surg, and Senior Behavioral Health. The good news is that I will be able to see my oldest son and his growing family a lot more often and my younger son will also spread his wings and begin to make a home of his own.Ī quick introduction to me: I am an RN who's been working 2 different jobs but both with an emphasis on Recovery Room nursing, or PACU, for the last 6 years. Obviously, I will miss my children and grandbaby that live here, but nothing dictates that I can’t return to visit on occasion. No, literally, my DIL has been in labor for 5 hours with their baby number 3 on her way any time. I have 3 grandbabies, with one being born as I write this. My “kids” range from 19-30 3 live locally, 1 will be moving with me, and my eldest lives in Maryland stationed at Ft. Sadly, in 2018 I went through a very difficult divorce. I’ve been living in Salem, Oregon ever since. When I moved back from Central Asia, where my family and I lived from 2001-2010, I changed my screenname to Steppesister- if you’re familiar with geography terms, the “steppe” is “a large area of flat unforested grassland in southeastern Europe or Siberia.” This is what Kazakhstan is mostly made up of and I thought it a cute play on words. I’ve been writing Trip Reports since 2008 going by All7OfUs once upon a time. Let me lay a little background for those of you who might be a bit newer to my story.
