RV is Repaired Finally

September 4th Sunday Warm and Humid

After a long battle with Camping World in Bath, New York - We finally have our motor home back home and have most of the repairs completed. Lou left here last Monday telling me goodbye and stating he would return when he had the repairs completed. He called me on Monday night to tell me that he would not be returning. Thankfully, I had sent him on his way with a refrigerator stocked with food and drink, from the weekend of square dancing in Morris, for our annual square dancing get together.

When they finally did the trouble shooting on the mattress they found that someone in the Winnebago assembly plant had made a mishap installing the mattress and tried to patch the mattress and glued and clamped the mattress only to find that it did not hold, thus the reason for the mattress to fail and the reason for the problems with my back pain. I was not a pleased camper!! At 5:00 pm on Tuesday Lou called me to tell me the replacement mattress had not arrived and he would not be home on Tuesday night and as we were talking, the part arrived, so the kind gentleman, Kevin that was working on the motor home stayed over and replaced the mattress and Lou did get home late on Tuesday evening.

Several things still have not been finished; however, the parts will be sent to us here at home and Lou can complete the job here at home. This has been going on since the 16th of June. We certainly could not suggest any of our friends take the route we have taken for these repairs.

Lou went to his house to help Preston work in the basement on Thursday, so I took advantage of the day and got the outside of the motor home washed down, polished the tires and wheels and washed the windows and after Lou returned we got it into the barn for safe keeping until our next scheduled outing on the 22nd and the 30th of September. Thankfully, I was able to get the inside cleaned on Wednesday.

While Lou was gone I went into overload mode and worked like I used to do prior to knowing Lou and did I get a lot accomplished. All of the grass got cut, the weed eating is finished, mums purchased and planted, decorated for fall, garage washed down,decks washed, laundry and ironing caught up from camping, car washed and cleaned out, correspondence caught up and filing done.

It looks like we are going to have an early fall, so feels good to have a start on our fall jobs. I want to start the painting of the board fence this week, also have the little barn to paint and the grass needs to be cut again.

Lou and I took the day off yesterday and went to the Williamsport Mall yesterday, I had gotten him a couple pair of dress slacks when Michelle and I went school shopping and I had picked up the wrong length, so we returned them and picked up a new pair of shoes for him and we ended up at Borders to check out their final sale and of course had to purchase several new books. We are in hopes to go to Florida much earlier this year, so want to have extra books on hand this year. I found a book that I started last evening that I will enjoy that Pastor John Hagee wrote, Can America Survive? Probably shouldn't have started it, as we sat up in bed reading it late last night, and had to get up early for the Fly-In Breakfast this AM!!

We took time yesterday to tour Grizzly"s Tools yesterday, what fun that was, made me want to take a class in wood working again. It was a neat day, we ended our day with dinner at The Red Lobster, (Thanks Preston) this is always special and our meal was wonderful, never had a bad meal there. We both had broiled fish platter, and Lou had a peppered steak added to his fish platter.

It was dark when we drove home and there was lightening all around and the sky was just beautiful, just had to have a picture of the sky as we left Williamsport.
