The States-On The Road: Janie Stein and Martin Bates are The States. Janie and I got our first motorhome, a 1984 Toyota Dolphin in May of 2009, we lived in it for the rest of the year. We started living full time in a Class C Jayco motor home and playing music and helping where we can as we go. We've upgraded twice, first with an up size then with a down size. We love our new little 20 mpg Winnebago Travato 59K. Come join us in our travels.

Welcome to my blog
here I am, blogging. Recently, I was invited to Pay It Forward with a homemade gift to a friend. As I considered just what to make for her, I was struck that I only thought of "homemade" as things I couldn't do, i.e. build a photo frame with a nice calligraphy quote inside, or knit a sweater or crochet a shawl. When I started thinking of things I could do without learning how, I began to minimize their "homemadeness". When I concocted a facial spritzer in a plastic bottle, I thought, "Well, plastic isn't homemade," and "I just combined some things I bought, I didn't grow the witch hazel and roses for rosewater," etc. Then it came to me: everything we have is just a re-use of what the Creator has already made and gifted us. oh. yeah. and...thanks!
