Less Home
One day, Joy decided she’d had enough. Enough of what, she wasn’t sure, but whatever it was, she wanted no more. She sold her mobile home and most of the possessions in it, bought a twenty-year-old custom van, packed up her cat BillyBob and a few treasures, and hit the road.
“Joy to the world!” she sang, merging onto the highway. She’d never felt better in her life. Even BillyBob seemed happier.
She drove all day and stopped at a campground in southern Colorado, where she set up by a little stream and made dinner over a fire.
