Another chapter in your van life and tiny home living. Michigan is nice this time of year. There are lots of festivals clear through autumn where you can show see it display it merchandise. No shortage of rest areas for taking breaks or overnighting there and so many beautiful small towns to visit along the great lakes. Haven't seen you this relaxed and happy for a while. Gods perfection and grace is abundant and overflowing across your lifescape.
I remember you being emphatic about no more side jobs. Why has that changed?

Some counties won’t let you put an accessory building on your property until you have the main structure built. She’d have to check with the local building dept. Otherwise, that’s an excellent idea.

Congrats on your land Linda! My husband and I are residents of Florida, but we come to Michigan every summer to see family and friends! We are about 20 miles from Frankenmuth. You must go there if you get a chance! And come to see us! We are in our 5th wheel on our friends 10 acres of property. Soon we will be seeing deer on site. I watch your videos at bedtime. I am always inspired by your videos and how you acknowledge God in all your ways, and He directs your steps! Blessings to you on your journey! ❤
A land owner, congratulations 🎉🎊 Embrace the flabby arms❤️ I’ll take flabby, just so thankful I’m down 45 pounds since you did my shuttle bus tour,,,I’ll take it! I know that you are grateful to God Almighty. None of us have anything that we can boast about ourselves, God has goals and plans for each of us and they look so different. The main thing is that God is glorified❤🙏🕊🙏
Congratulations on becoming a land owner. Can't wait to see what type of home you decide to put on your property.Blessings.❤

You are the bravest lady. Makes me feel so wimpy. My blessing is having property at the beach with a covered pavilion for our travel trailer. I prayed for something for about 5 years. My husband sold some of the property where our house is and we then reinvested that into beach property. We are so excited!

🙂 We Know You & We Know Your Precious 💜 Linda. It Is N-o-t Being Boastful in the Bragging Sense. You are "Glorifying" GOD and Are Grateful For HIS Blessing's. He Want's Us to "Share" HIS Goodness with Other's. GOD Give's Us FAVOR. IT IS . . . . A-L-W-A-Y-'S HIS WILL to Give Us All the Desire's of Our 💜. If We Ask, HE WILL LEAD OUR PATH Truly, In the R-I-G-H-T Direction. I Used to Have a Manual Hatch in the Past. Just Had to Get a New Spring. No Waiting For Any Part's. Not a Big Deal to Change. Like You, Not Fond of Driving In the 🌧. Be Safe. 🙏🏼
Linda, so happy for you! That sure is wonderful news that you've gotten your place to land whenever you want to! You know the saying, "good things come to those who wait"; I think it's really good things come to those who pray and work and save for their desires. You've set goals and planned and worked hard, and above all, trusted God to direct you, and He has been faithful! Congratulations and we are all celebrating with you!

I totally get why you stay in rest stops rather than campsites..So I retired last month turned 62 traded in my vehicle for Toyota Sienna "Luv it" packed up hit the road to closest national park and- I left the camp site and stayed at nearest rest area.

I'm really happy for you. I hope the lift gate latch problem i easy to fix. We had to replace the handle on one of our cars multiple times. It was an easy job, but in later years it was hard to get the part. Your's may only need a good cleaning degrease and adjusting. Owning land is a true blessing and being a good steward of the land is a responsibility, but a good responsibility. I hope you find enjoyable work to save for your landing pad. Stick built on a foundation would likely be the least expensive, but not movable in the future. A manufactured home set up on a foundation would likely have the best quality control for your money. My next home will not have a mortgage and will be the smallest square footage allowed. My dream is to have a garage that will hold my class B and another vehicle and have shop space as well. It will be bigger than the house 😂. I can't wait to follow this new chapter of your life's journey. I hope to see you in Quartzsite again this January. God bless and safe travels.

Welcome from Holly Michigan❣️❤️
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you 💞 Yes, I'm VERY blessed in so many ways, where do I begin, I'm so grateful for everything God has done for me. My parents saw to it that I went to a Christian grade school, the best foundation for life.
Hello Linda, Congratulations !! Your Land looks great ! WOW I am absolutely surprised that you actually found LAND this quickly. I’m guessing ALL the previous looking for a landing spot almost 2 years ago before you bought that Tiny home came in handy on what you knew what you wanted and of course the ZONING details that are so very important. You probably have a pretty good amount of experience by now. You are definitely a woman with GREAT determination and strength. A NEW adventure/Blessing and PROJECT for you. I truly HOPE this time around this is going to be what you been in SEARCH of to fulfill your heart with contentment. It’s wonderful to travel and like you say/ a gypsy soul, but also security as we age seems wise to some of us and you definitely have been on a mission of sorts from what you share. So happy for you. Take Care Looking forward to see what’s ahead. 🌸🌻🙏 🏡Home Sweet Home 🏡

Woo Hoo I am from Michigan...well originally from Philly but have been in Michigan for 26 years
There seems to be a sound issue when you are driving and talking that was not evident previously. Very hard to hear what you are saying over (is it) road noise, tire noise, perhaps placement of recording device for sound? Have to turn on closed captioning in order to get what you are saying.
So happy for you😊
