What does “homesteading” mean, exactly? A self-sufficient way of living that includes living off the grid is gaining popularity. Many see it as a reasonable replacement as living standards become more difficult to maintain and inflation rises.
Allow me to introduce you to Mama V, a courageous woman who chose to lead this kind of lifestyle. She was tired of the hustle and bustle of the city and moved out of her metropolitan living into an old mini-school bus. Building a sustainable cabin in the peaceful woodland was her ambition.
Mama V had other endeavors besides this one. She has two dogs and several more pets. As her furry family grew, her bus became too small. She knew she needed more room, but her limited resources made her doubt her ability to get it.
Thank goodness, a thoughtful neighbor stepped in and made an amazing offer. He handed Mama V the old, abandoned camper that had been sitting in his yard for years, instead of selling it or throwing it out. She was overjoyed and deeply grateful for this kind deed.
Mama V cried out, “She may be ugly, but she’s mine!” with enthusiasm. She concluded she ought to sell her bus. But after being abandoned for so long, the trailer needed some loving care to make it livable once more.
The trailer had to be thoroughly cleaned and repaired, but it was structurally sound and free of leaks. Mama V requested help from her friends Jayme and Kevin. Kevin skillfully secured the trailer to his car, and Jayme worked her magic to clean it perfectly.
While Jayme cleaned, Mama V and Kevin went to the town to buy food and dinner. Mama V was ecstatic to discover that the trailer included a functional microwave, oven/stove, and refrigerator. They filled up on supplies as they readied Mama V for her new life.
Jayme was a fantastic cleaner. She eliminated at least a thousand dead wasps and left every surface sparkling. After a challenging labor day, Jayme and Kevin bid Mama V farewell and let her move into her new temporary home.
At last alone herself, Mama V surveyed her new surroundings. The trailer offered plenty of space with two full gas tanks, a pull-out couch, a fully equipped kitchen, two twin bedrooms, a bathroom with a bathtub and shower, and loads of storage. There was even a panel to keep an eye on utility usage.
Mama V and her animal companions were content to have a roomy and comfortable place to sleep even though it wasn’t their regular residence. As Mama V settled down, she started thinking about the peaceful life she wanted to live and the garden she wanted to create.
Mama V was happy to be in this new phase of life and saw her new trailer and the surrounding trees as blank canvases. She expressed her gratitude to her kind dogs, her supportive friends, and her welcoming neighbors. With a heart full of thanks and optimism for the future, Mama V went to sleep in her new home.
