Getting Ready

February 16th - Wednesday - 51 Degrees!!!!

When Lou and I heard the weather report for today, we immediately called the gentleman that inspects our motor home and asked if he could inspect it today and he told us to have it there between ten and eleven today, so we went over to the barn and found that Allyn had done a marvelous job plowing the snow and ice away from the barn that we didn't have to shovel any thing, just unlock the doors and back the motor home out and we were off to have it inspected. They even washed the salt off of the motor home, so we have a clean motor home and an inspection sticker.

Lou arrived at our drive way, just as Krista was coming down, so she blocked traffic one direction and I did the other direction and Lou backed into the drive way, put the jacks down, plugged in the electric for heat and we were ready to go to work.

It didn't take long to take everything from our hobby room that belonged in the motor home to the motor home and we started putting things away. Krista brought her sewing machine down and started making covers for the back of seats to the dining room seats. I had already made the pillow to match the sofa. Estee quickly found her new acquired seat. Lou hadn't had a chance to see how the new "sleep number" bed was going to work; Krista and I thought he had gotten quiet and I went in to check and found the reason.

Lou and Krista mastered the radio system and got the stations preset, that was a challenge, but soon mastered. Krista put the microwave/convection oven together. I am amazed as how much cupboard space I still have in the kitchen with everything put in place.

Tomorrow, I want to put everything where it will be when we are actually in a spot for a week and then I will know what we have that we won't need and we can leave that behind, or perhaps what we will need that we don't have on board. Then I can go through and clean and be ready to go, then I can get our house cleaned up and we will be about ready to take off. Progress is being made. This is so much easier by having the motor home in the drive way here rather than at the barn, we can have heat and lights at all times and it is so much cleaner with the paved driveway and we can work a few minutes at a time, can use the washer and dryer, dishwasher, etc. Lots of company also and that is nice also.

Didn't mean to have Lou's nap as the first picture......
