There’s more to making a home out of an RV than just putting up pictures or changing the curtains. You need to engage your other senses. I think that the way a home smells is very important. It has taken a long time to rid Miranda of her generic and still slightly mothbally RV smell, but today I finally succeeded.

I stayed in and did hand laundry, baking (muffins and a loaf of bread), and general cleaning of the rig. When I came in from swimming a few moments ago, I was greeted with the scent of lavender and yeast and was flooded with a sense of peace and well-being.

Peace and rest at length have come. All the days long toil is past, and each heart is whispering, home, home at last.
