For anyone who knows Chris knows that it takes a patient person to be married to him. While she did not receive any awards for being a dreamer and a doer (shocking), Lani is almost always supportive of Chris’ big and crazy ideas.

We've been to most of the U.S. states over the past 10 years (we did take 2 years off to live in a house in Virginia, but we try to forget that time.) I enjoy travel (of course), history (reading about it, visiting museums, seeing the actual locations), genealogy (it's an addiction), sports (watching them), computers (another addiction), kids and grandkids, reading, writing, photography... Too many hobbies, not enough time. And now it's gourds - burning, carving, painting. One of these times we'll settle down, probably in Yuma, Arizona where it is warm. In fact we've recently entered a "12-step" recovery program - trying to withdraw from full-timing. So far, it's a rental house in the winter."

We started by flying out west and renting a class C from Cruise America, we would pick a state, rent the RV, then take a two week vacation to travel and see the sights. After five years of doing this we decided that this is what we wanted to do but on a larger scale so in 2003 we ordered a new Georgie Boy Landau class A Motorhome.

Some days I get something good, other days it is just practice. Other things I do to keep myself from going crazy are quilting, sewing, soapmaking, fishing, selling things on ebay, and cooking.
