Mwamwayi, theka lomwe ndidakambirana lidapitilira. Sabata iliyonse m'mbuyomu ulendo wathu, adapeza tsamba la RV lotsegulidwa kumapeto kwa sabata ku Huge Sur molondola. Pogwiritsa ntchito magetsi ndi madzi, malo oyandikana ndi Huge Sur River amatha kukhala ndi zala 28 kapena kuposerapo.

Pambuyo pakuwona masiku angapo akuda nkhawa, tsogolo linaika Class-C RV 25-Tioga Ranger mu 2008 - muzotsatira zanga zakunja kwa Outdoorsy. Unali gawo lenileni, mtengo wake weniweni, wokhala ndiulendo wofulumira wanyumba ndipo ngakhale mkati mwake zimasiyanasiyana kuti mutenge njira yabwino kwambiri yopitira ku Huge Sur.

Ine ndi mwana wanga wamwamuna tinayesetsa kwambiri kuti tipeze pulusiketi ya piramidi yoyenera pamalo athu, ndikupangira mawilo olowera, koma tidakhazikika mwachangu kuposa kulimbikira kulingalira ndi equation yomwe sitikadatha konse kuthetsa.

Sikunali kuyesedwa kovuta konse ndi moto. Panali nthawi yabwino kwambiri yanyumba yomwe imawoneka yopepuka kuposa momwe anthu ambiri amapangira mahema.

Zinali zosavuta kuti tithawe utsi wamoto. Kupanga chakudya chamadzulo chokwera tsiku lonse kunawoneka kotukuka kwambiri kukhitchini, kuposa kugwira ntchito patebulo yozizira komanso yozizira kwambiri. Kuwotcha chimanga pamtundu wa RV kuti mupite limodzi ndi ma burger owotcha moto kunali kosavuta, ndikupanga zikondamoyo, mazira ndi nyama yankhumba mnyumba imodzi momwemo munasunga njira ndikukhumudwitsa.

Poteteza nsapato zathu panja ndikugwiritsa ntchito tsache pakhomo, makamaka tidasunga zonyansa. Icho sichinthu chimodzi chomwe timazolowera ngati omanga misasa.

Chofunika kwambiri, panali nyumba yoyendamo, kuwonjezera pa malo osangalatsa omwe mkazi ndi ana angalowemo ndikumverera ngati kuti amakhala m'malo osangalatsa omwe amakhala. Ambiri mwa masiku awiri athunthu omwe tidakhalako, zinali zotopetsa kuti tiwachotse m'manyumbamu. Maulendo okwera maulendo anali ndi nthawi yovuta yopikisana ndi naps.

Pafupifupi kukula kwake: Zonse zili mkati mwazithunzi. Dziwani kuti gombe lodziwikiratu pagalimotoyo (mulibe matabwa kapena anthu mkati mwa zala zitatu), kanikizani kandalama ndipo nthawi yomweyo pindani kanyumba kakang'ono kakang'ono kakang'ono ka chipinda chogona. Muyenera kuziwona kuti mulingalire. Matsenga oyera.

Zomwe sizinali zamatsenga: Zachidziwikire, mathero oyipa amenewo.

Chombocho chidatsukidwa bwino, tonse tidakwezedwa ndikukwanitsa kuyambiranso. Komabe ndidasunga zomwe sizabwino kwenikweni pomaliza: kutaya kwa madzi ogwiritsidwa ntchito.

Mwanjira ina iliyonse, ndidakwanitsa kufunsa mwana wanga kuti athandize - chisankho chomwe chingamusiye zipsera zosatha.

Tinayendetsa nyumba yathu yatsopano yomwe timakonda kuyenda pamayendedwe pamisasa yonse ndikuyenda mozungulira mozungulirapo. Ndinkadziwa kuti njirayo inali yosakhazikika, chifukwa chake ndimayenda pang'onopang'ono. Kapena ndimaganiza.

Osati pang'ono ndi pang'ono okwanira paphanga, phazi lalitali mamita asanu ndi limodzi sindinapeze mpaka titakhala ozungulira nalo.

Ngozi, bang, kuwonjezeka.

Maginito otsekera pama makabati apamwamba, abwino mpaka nthawiyo, sakanatha kutenga izi. Zakudya ndi magalasi a painti zinafika apa zikuuluka, kukhudza pansi pa chitsulo cholimba pansi zala zisanu pansi. Zinkawoneka ngati talowa malowa kuchokera mu kanema woyendetsa pomwe magalimoto othamangitsa amathera pazenera lakutsogolo.

Mwamwayi, mbalezo zakhala zotayidwa. Ndipo mosasamala kanthu za chomenyera chachiwawa, magalasi awiri okha anali atawonongeka.

Tonsefe tidatekeseka komabe, mwana wanga wamwamuna adayamba kugwira ntchito yosesa magalasi pomwe ndidayamba ntchito yonyansa yomwe idayembekezera kunja, yomwe ndimadziwa kuti sindinaphunzire kale.

Tizinena kuti kuzindikira mzere womwe mukukumana nawo - imvi kapena wakuda - ndikuwonetsetsa kuti zolumikizira mu payipi yanu zikugwiradi ntchito ndizofunikira kale kuposa kulola zakumwa izi kukhala zaulere.
