  • Why a Home Base Is Right For Us (As Full Time Nomads)
    We are Bill and DeAnna Edmister of Living the Silver Life and are full time RVers. We’d love for you to join our Nomad Family so you can come along for the ride and ‘Get Up & Get Out.
    In this weeks video, we are back in New York. We are discussing why we feel as though a home base is the right way for us to go at this phase of our travels, and why we selected New York.
    Join us next week, we will be making some major but important investments for the property in a tractor and dump trailer. We will also get started with some projects around the property.
    Hope you enjoy the video.

      You're right about that. Not sure we really appreciated that until we sold ours, went on the road, and then felt like something was missing. Glad we bought it. It is really pretty up here.

    Loved the doggie photos in the snow 😃 and it was good to hear how it was during covid that you decided you needed a home base. I am glad that I was in on this from the start of you buying this property in New York and i clearly remember the videos from when you started clearing the site a year ago, so good why you named it what you did after Scout as well. Its such a great site, maybe you can make your own reservour/ lake for fishing ? 😃Then it would be perfect ! But it must be difficult DeeAnna with your family and daughters in Texas and Bill your family in the New York area. Thanks for the update, its exciting to know what you'll be doing next :) ~ Anna 👍

Troy loved the well house and talking about it with Bill. Talked about it multiple times on our trip home! Didn’t even see the power pole in person so had to look for it in the video haha. Love the snow covering it. So pretty. So happy for you guys! Thanks for showing us around. We loved seeing you guys and getting a tour of Corning. Hoping for more time next time!

Nobody has worked since Friday; except us, so right now we still just have the framework. They won't be back until tomorrow. Bill finished the water line from the well house, and we put a garden in yesterday. Now, I just need to fill it with plants.

    I love that you have a home base but are still traveling. I said a long time ago that I never wanted to be full time rv. Told Jessie that when he said how much fun it would be. Told him I always wanted to have a home base and then bam that nasty C hit and I told mmmmm had to say “I told you so”. It was weird. We literally had the conversation a few months prior. You just never know when something will happen where you need a place to stay put. I must say, you guys have a great spot. I really want property and a tiny house. I don’t want to be in town. One day. Still looking for that perfect area 😁

      You were smart. Don't think we would have kept the house we raised the girls in in Texas. That little town we moved to with only one stop light just exploded into a yuppy community with all the things everyone living in a large city need. It is the place to live now. However, even though it's an amazing town, it just got way too big for us. So we are happy that we had sold so that we were open to a whole new option.

      Oh slash, I forgot to tell you that. 😂😂. When we bought the property it was covered in the remnants from the logging that was done to our property- limbs, sticks, holes, trenches, piles of sticks, etc- basically slash. I think it may be a term used in the north more than the south cause I’d never really heard it called that. Bill’s from NY originally so people here know what he means. People from the southern regions usually ask what that means. 😂😂

      Thanks. We have a lot planned for this summer. Can't wait to have a small cabin here so we actually do have a home. ❤️
