This is one amazing lady who totally recreated her life in April 2016. At the age of 48, Carolyn sold everything she owned, purchased a 23-year-old, 29-foot Class C RV and hit the road.
She was accompanied only by her best friend, Capone, a big furry lovable canine. Once on the open road, things began to sink in. She was on her own with everything she owned in this world packed into the RV. A scary moment when she realized that everything she knew about living was now obsolete. The gave up a very good job and a relationship offering all the comforts money can buy. It was all swapped out for something totally unknown and so very different than anything experienced previously. No looking back now. She pressed onward in her new life journey.

Activating Brain Power
Thought I would let you know of the many projects that occupy me during any given day of the week. Never just work on one project at a time. Rather I have a routine of rolling from one project into the next, and the next and the next throughout the day. There are my crochet projects, painting projects, word puzzles, you name it. While I am sitting down crafting, I enjoy a good documentary on Netflix or YouTube video from one of my many subscribed channels. Always looking for a new something to learn about or to do. I keep my mind active, questioning, wondering, searching. At the age of 65, my whole life is being revamped. New job, new home, new life! It’s all in the working. Brain power in action leads to a healthy brain and life.
Hello world – Jeanne Here!
Hi, Jeanne here. A Baby Boomer who is passionate for crafting, turning that passion into one of the greatest adventures ever! Having plenty of time, now that it is just myself with the kids grown and off on their own, I embark upon a brand new way of life finally pursuing what I love to do.
In the past, I have looked into and/or tried many different crafts. However, my first love became painting with acrylics. It all started when a friend showed me how she painted on old roofing slate. Awesome! I loved to draw and color and knew I could turn the drawings into paintings which would not just be incredible fun but a far better way to display my art. The sad day came when I ran out of roofing shingles. What now? Well, my creativity took over and I discovered river rocks. Not only did I get outside into the sun and air to wander the stream beds but got plenty of exercise and enjoyed the plethora of flora, and fauna surrounding me. Slung over my shoulder was a big sac in which was stashed all strange, unusual and quite regular rocks large, medium and small. Those were soon turned into doorstops, paperweights, or just a cool conversation piece. One painting surface led to another and soon was painting ceramic figurines, name plaques on wood, picture plaques, you name it I experimented. Presently, trying my hand at turning light bulbs into hot air balloons thus extending my surface to glass which is quite interesting. Can’t wait to discover what’s next once I conquer hot air balloons.
