The Earthships are very near there too. Linda May lived near there as well, but has moved on!

Fern and Melissa are not in the book. They were fictional characters in the movie.

NO! The sister wanted to get control over Fern. If she had just wired the money, they would have been the end of it, she would not have had a chance to try and manipulate her. The only way she could get the money was to go after it and that in itself would be hard enough for an independent...

I did not know her or meet her, but she was a friend of Frances' from long ago. Loosing her and loosing Sound guy Wolf made things bittersweet!

Don't cry for me!!

And I was just out there last week and there are three new trash heaps! Disgusting. And I was thinking about how hard you and the others had worked to clean the place up.

We were good because we were NOT acting (mostly!) LOL

So... I was trying to find a still shot of the scene inside my van where Swankie is tell Fern she is going to die. Imagine my shock when I realized Josh had zoomed in on my 77 year old wrinkles and I am filling up the entire frame... and seeing it on a giant 50' tall IMAX screen. Now, that is...

Only four times? I have lost count, but I have to close my eyes when I come on the screen. It is just too much! Thank you, Lefty!

I wanted to cry for him.

Yes we were. That was an awesome moment. Frances McDormand had told us two years before the Oscars, that if we made it to the Oscars, Linda and I were going on stage with them. Not another word was spoken about that until the very moment it happened. I was in shock. Amazing. Nomads clean...

I think that was a summer day dress, not nightgown. Yes, they modeled her van after mine... except, I did not have sheer curtains in the back, in fact I had no windows in the back, but I did/do have heavy lined curtains across the back doors for insulation. Remember, she is representing a...

And then there is comfort! Older women who are freshly widowed, usually, USUALLY, don't dress to impress or please others.

I am alive! Thanks. In Quartzsite.

I had a small benign tumor removed from my airway in 2017. The rest of the cancer/brain tumor story in Nomadland is not real. I am not sick. I had told the Director the story of my ex-husband dying of brain cancer and she used that, knowing it would trigger emotions in me. She was not wrong.

I ordered things this morning and got various dates.

(continued from above!) I found a guy (Boondoctor.com) who lived in the Quartzsite area and specialized in tricking out these toy haulers for off grid living. He was having an ATC Gathering (Jan 2022) at his ranch. He invited me to attend and to show the Nomadland movie to the group. I had a...

MODIFIED VANDWELLING Warning, long post! I am selling (OR raffleing off?) my van... my SwankieWheels (as seen in Oscar-winning movie Nomadland). I am "up-sizing!" It's a blessing and a curse. I feel like I am betraying "vandwellers!" I feel almost ashamed and embarrassed to upsize! So I...

Yes, I have one and adapted it to fit in my van.  I have photos somewhere.  Had to take the steel frame out and sew a few tucks in it, but it was warm and kept the draft out. Here is a link to my bed set up and changes to using the Privacy Pop...
