Well life in a Van is very different but also has given me freedom. I will share my experiences and thoughts with you as l journey into discovering my new life and how I can help others and myself along the way.
Griffin my Cavoodle is my travel companion and my Vans name is Lilly, named after my snake that is no longer with me but forever remembered.
I have no idea what will happen and what’s to come but I will share my life with you as much as l can.

Thanks Gaye, putting a boiled egg in it reminds me a bit of Scotch eggs, yum . . . you do what you need to do and talk about it.
Your welcome Ruth and thank you 🙏 🩷🩷
Hi Gaye Good to see your looking well . Thanks for the cooking session, at my age I still need some cooking lessons . I will give that ago.❤
Hi Jill, feeling much better. Hope you enjoy as it’s so easy to do. 🩷🩷
Looks yummy, what was that you put in the pan first? Usually put some mustard in mine.
Hi, it was fruit chutney Mustard sounds good too. 🩷🩷
Hi Gaye, Your meatloaf looks delicious. You've inspired me to try your recipe once the weather cools in our desert. In the meantime, it's light fare like tostadas, tacos, watermelon and salads! Hearing about your present and maybe some of your future plans sound interesting and healthy. Great job with your channel and your healing process. I commend your bravery for sharing with all of us. Sending hugs and supportive energy in your direction. ❤❤❤
@@joanponton3316 I live in the high deserts of California where it can get in the triple digits. I have a turkey roaster that also can work like an oven. I am making Meatloaf tomorrow, I put it in a foil pan from the Dollar Tree and bake it in there in my garage. No extra heat and it saves money from having to eat out.
Hi Joan, it’s a bit the same here over the summer months, plenty of salad and lighter foods. I look forward to sharing going forward and maybe some more recipes with you. Thanks for the support and hugs to you 🩷🩷🩷
It was fun to see you in the kitchen. I have never heard of putting hard-boiled eggs in a meatloaf. I enjoy seeing different ways to make it. My family likes my Southwest meatloaf. I also like to use half Ground pork and half ground beef. I add breadcrumbs, a Lipton Onion Soup mix, one egg, some tomato sauce and a small can of green chilies. I put half the mixture in the loaf pan then add couple pieces of Swiss cheese. Then the rest of the meatloaf mixture on top of the cheese. When I make boiled eggs I pour the hot water off and then I cover the eggs with ice they seem to peel easy that way, if I'm not going to use them right away I sometimes put them in the refrigerator and they peel easy that way too. I enjoy all your videos you sharing your past has helped me a lot even though it may not be Pleasant to talk about. It is nice to see you on walks and in the kitchen on occasion though. Looking forward to your future videos 💐
Thanks Esther, and your recipe sounds great, l will definitely try it, lm always looking at different ways to do things. Appreciate you sharing. I will definitely add in a cooking video as l enjoy doing them. People can have difficulty peeling eggs so hope we can help others out with what we do. 🩷🩷
@esteeb42 thanks Ester, I'll check out your method!
I loved the video, and your meatloaf looked amazing and delicious!!! I hope you feel better soon, the Flu is the worst! Sending you kind thoughts and love 💗💗💗

It’s good seeing you again. I noticed this morning that I’m still subscribed to your old channel. I didn’t realize that lol.
Nice as always to hear from you too. The channel l will keep there, maybe a few are watching every now and then. Was going to delete it but has lots of memories on there for me. 🩷🩷
@@AVanADogAndMyself I agree.
So kind of you to do that for Neo and to share his story. I will sure go check out his channel and donate next time I get my money in 😊
Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate that Elliot if you could 🩷🩷
Oh Gaye, you made me cry. I was not expecting such a shout out and even more shocked you did the go fund me. Thank you Gaye. You are such an amazing friend. I love you and wish you all well. Ps. We've been friends for 8 years now. 😊❤
Ps. Your little nook looks calming and inviting. Thank you my friend 🧡
Hi Neo, it’s the least I can do and you are very welcome. 8 years, see l do have a terrible memory and you have a great one 🩷🩷
Reading other comments I see you're feeling better, happy to hear.💐
I am Estee, thank you 🙏 🩷🩷
Hi Nan how are you going?
Hi Mickey, thanks for saying hello, lm doing ok now, hope you are too hon. 🩷🩷🩷😘
LOOKS REALLY NICE, GREAT JOB. IVE learned living by myself, I always stockpile stuff I'd need if I get sick. Then I don't need to rely on help and I can just rest. Feel better.
Thank you 🙏 yes I am like you, take care of myself all the time. I don’t mind at all, I am doing much better just have a bit of a cough but l feel better. 🩷🩷
@@AVanADogAndMyself best old school natural remedie, gargle with a good salt and some warm water for coughing, mucus, anything mouth throat, sinus, lungs. Several times a day and you will either stop it in its tracks or it will give relief and help get rid of it. I got the worst sinus infection, had to go to the emergency room, ever since if I feel anything off ill gargle with 'real salt" and warm water a few times that day it its normally gone by the next day. Highly recommended 👌 👍 🤗
Hi Gaye,hope your on the mend! Get plenty of rest!❤
Hello Jill, thank you 🙏 lm feeling better and having lots of rest too. 🩷🩷
Hello from Western NC, hope you feel better soon 😊
Hello and thank you, feeling much better today. 🩷🩷
I hope you feel better soon and hope you are doing what you desire. Sending healibg energies to you my friend 🧡 😊🌈🌻🌿💐
Hi Neo, feeling better today finally. 🩷🩷
Get well soon 🎉❤
Thank you Beth, am feeling better today. 🙏🩷🩷
No shame in taking a break, your health is more important than the garden right now. I agree with you about the aloe Vera plant. My mom always kept one as I grew up. I remember having to utilize its benefit a few times as a kid. Take care of yourself and will see you next time.
Definitely needed a rest, feeling much better now but still could be better. They are a great plant to have growing, l think many have used it over the years, now you can buy it in a gel form in a bottle. Will look after myself 🙏🩷🩷🩷
Hi Gaye, it's great seeing a post from you and the fur babies. I'm sorry that you are feeling under the weather . Take good care of yourself! Rest, rest, rest! In no time you'll be back to yourself! Your garden plans are looking awesome. ❤❤
Hi Joan, lm feeling much better now and able to get back in the garden finally, though the weather dictates that these days. Thank you for watching, appreciate your support 🙏🩷🩷🩷
There is nothing wrong with taking a break while you are feeling under the weather. The garden is coming along great. I hope that you are feeling better :)
Thank you Jessica and yes lm feeling much better now. 🙏🩷🩷
Your so right Gaye!unfortunately as a mum ,I've done or have tried my best ! But it's never enough!when you've been hurt so much ,there's a time you say enough is enough! As much as you want to it's hard to go back.❤
Hey Jill, we want more than anything to have that wonderful relationship with our child but we were able to eventually figure out, it was impossible to achieve. Hard decision to come to but we did the right thing Jill and even though we will feel we want to try again, we know in our hearts that it is not possible. Stay strong hon, 🩷🩷🩷
I’m so sorry for the relationship trouble you’re having with your daughter…I went through this two years ago and yes she wouldn’t allow me to see my granddaughter either and I practically raised her til she was five…I have trouble understanding why your daughter distances her love from you…you’re such a calming loving person…I respected my daughters distancing…gave her space to sort things out and about 6 months later she contacted me and appologized…this was after years of strife with her…she still goes back to her old ways on occasion…depression I guess then I give her space again. Mothers and daughters…big sighs
Hello Elva, sounds like your relationship has been difficult 😞 I hope you can find a way to continue having a relationship and be able to know when to take that step back. It’s makes it very hard when you have grandchildren who can be greatly affected and truly this is unfair to them in the end. Mostly l have distanced myself from my daughter, many years of troubles and suffering the effects of her bad choices. I am now trying to find some way to enjoy what life l have without the chaotic life I had before. You are a wonderful woman and your daughter is lucky to have you. 🙏🩷🩷🩷
I remember watching your first few videos and then I lost your channel along the way. I am elated to have found you again today and to see you managing so well 🙏✝️👑
Thank you, I am doing better, ups and downs but l know it’s how it’s going to be. Hope all is well with you. 🩷🩷🩷
@@AVanADogAndMyself yes, thank you ... by the grace of our Lord I am free 🙏✝️👑
I'm so glad you found happiness and peace again ❤❤
Thank you 🙏 lm getting there. 🩷🩷🩷
All we can do is what we think is best. No one can expect more. You’re not drag lagging! You’re taking time to smell the roses! And you deserve that, you really do. ❤ What a beautiful walk you shared with us. Thank you.
That is true, we do what we do at the time, realizing we got it wrong eventually, better than never knowing. Thank you, glad you enjoyed the walk with me. 🙏🩷🩷🩷
Hi Gaye! You remain such an inspiration. You are helping me in so many ways. Thanks for the show of strength and resilience. ❤❤
I’m so glad l can help Joan. I guess l am just being me and sharing my thoughts with you. 🙏🩷🩷🩷
I'm glad you're on the right track. I had to let go of some family members as well. For my own well-being. 🎉❤ We have to take care of ourself.
As much as we wish it wasn’t something we would have to do, you’re right about taking care of ourselves. 🙏🩷🩷🩷

Big Hugs Gaye..you're right sometimes things are too broken to be fixed. Be proud of the person you are and show us what letting go looks like.🤗💐
Hugs to you Estee, I will continue to do so and share with you. 🙏🩷🩷

It was great to see you again and thank you for the walk. The beach looked like a great spot to just sit and meditate for a while. Please take care of yourself and we’ll see you next time.
Your welcome, it’s a really lovely place to be though getting to cold here now to get out there. Hope you’re doing well my friend and a pleasure to hear from you always. 🙏🩷🩷
Thanks for the lovely walk!

Hello. My brother and sister n their kids didn't see my mum/me for years. Sister a *nurse* got wind mum not too good and reappeared 2 weeks before parents died! She actually went on holiday and both had died on her return. ! I've not seen her or brother for 23yrs. Last i knew she emigrated to Perth, I garden and ponder why but I'm ok. I know my mum bothered about the grandkids but not those two. I think we are here to learn to let go, especially those that are family but toxic. I wish i could join you in spring. But for now we'll see how our seeds grow from here 💐
Hello Jane, I think we will never know the why, l ponder while gardening as well. Reappearing was more for her and nothing to do with your parents, another selfish act. We will learn or be open to learning till the day we die and lm just starting to learn the letting go and understanding how there are things we cannot change. Toxic people, especially families was not words to describe them for me, now I understand the definition of those words and wonder how or why they would want to be known for being this. I am so glad that I can distance myself from them and yes lm doing okay and learning to live with the Why. Would be lovely to have you join us but I understand it is difficult for some people. May your garden grow beautifully for you. 🙏🩷🩷🩷
A livestream would be a great opportunity for us to get together and chat.
I would love to do one. Hopefully soon l can, love to have a chat. 🩷🩷
Hi Gaye… set your boundaries… and don’t tolerate abuse from ANYONE, EVER !!! Love yourself enough !!! Family isn’t always blood too! Find your tribe and manifest a beautiful life. We deserve it ! Garden looks lovely 🥰😘😘
I will and cannot let anyone hurt me again. I know l wouldn’t survive it. My tribe is my family and we all deserve to have this, if nothing else doing my videos has given me a chance to find others who are in need of a good friend and some support through difficult times or past. Thank you, slowly it’s coming together but been feeling unwell this past week but still managing to get a little bit done. 🙏🩷🩷🩷
