Short and Sweet because I'm beat!

August 26, 2015...bob's birthday.
And here we are, panicking over this move. Our house still had skads of stuff in it when my cleaner arrived and we had to hustle to get it boxed up and shipped out via pick up truck to a second storage area. The costs are mounting for this venture. Did we make the right decision...we can only hope so.

So in between moving stuff in 90 degree heat, cleaning, organizing the trailer, throwing bunches of trash out, talking to our new tenant on theese phone about this,that,and the other...I had to take the dogs down to the Humane Society for their shots. I have tripped and fallen twice. Bob is patching nail h oles in the wall and buying paint to cover them up  ( only Martha Stewart paint can cost $24.00 a pint!!) and it still isn't matching up! Damn! Now we have all these mismatched blotches on the walls which means one thing: ta-Dah! Paint the whole room from top to bottom. Good golly miss Molly! And then the yard guy is coming to do some work tomorrow and the cleaners come back to do what they couldn't do today because we were too disorganized! Lawd have Mercy.  But now, as a huge thunder storm looms dark and insididious upon us, wwe count our blessings because we are really doing this. And we have plenty of time before we hit the mountain roads to become better organized. I have downloaded at least 10 books on how to make your home on wheels more comfortable, thus livable. And how to do it without giving up every last luxury ( like clean undies, good shoes, bling earrings and soft bed sheets). And how to camp with pets...in our case, two Chihweenies and one very independent cat. I must say I am impressed most with the comfort of our bed and the size of the bathroom. The shower itself is as nice as the one we have in the house. Right now, we have no water because we are parked outside our home. Tomorrow we will meet with our tenant late IN the day and then Toodle on over to Wickham Park to start our real adventure at a beginner's pace. A trial and error, if you will, before we hit the real trails of America!
Looking forward...not back.
Because there is no going back now!
Cheers!
