Travel preparations continue.

Travel preparations continue.
The last time I made a post I was supposed to have off Tuesday and Wednesday and I went to work on Monday 8 to 4 and the girl that works full time 8 to 4 also showed up. She travels a good distance to get to work, so I suggested I just go back home. So that is what I did. I ended up having three days in a row off. Was very nice I got a lot of things done.
We have a long list of things that need to get done. Jim had blood work done. I said an appointment for a mammogram. Jim took a load of things to store to his mother's house for the winter. I've been cooking a lot of what I call Travel food and putting in the freezer.

I made an appointment for next year to get both of our dental cleanings done ,  right before we start work again .  Also I went and got a very expensive haircut. Which I did not like, too long on the top and sides. I wanted to go shorter like it was 5 months ago. It will be a lot easier to manage using minimal water when we travel, and Boondock in Arizona. So I called the stylist and ask her if she could take a little more off. So I went back a week later, and now it's really short, but it'll work. We took the truck to Hassler diesel in Bethel to have brake work done and whatever else they did to it, Jim would have to explain that.

It is a pretty good drive from where we are now. We dropped it off and I have a nail appointment really close to it. So we coordinated my nail appointment with the picking up the truck. We did find out the writing Club was closing. We are the last ones here, has been a few weeks since the last person left so we're here all alone. We sit on a piece of property 46 Acres it's beautiful, deer come out at night, 4 of them.

Jim's friend has four horses here so we watch them in the pasture down below.

It is pretty quiet here  all though 72  is not too far away .  The weird thing is  the way the traffic sounds  a lot of times it sounds like cars are actually pulling in here , but they're not . We will miss it here we will be leaving on Friday November 30th heading to lickdale  KOA Campground. We will be there 2 weeks, very expensive but what are you going to do. Our friends we met in Florida are coming down from New York we're hoping they stop for a night or two and we can visit. It's been pretty cold and windy, one day it did get 55 degrees but I was at work most the day. This Sunday supposed to be almost 60 and I have off the weekend, hoping to get more things done. So as of now it is 16 days and a wake up call.

40 Days and and a Wake Up Call

October 2018

Last 3 days of October I worked one late shift, and two early. Now we have a lot of things to do to get ready to leave, as Jim says 40 days and a wake up call. As of Sunday November 4th.
Monday I got my oil changed in my car. Keller Brothers comes to pick it up and brings it back all finished.
Saturday Jim worked and after he got home we went down with his friend who has horses here and helped them  a little. Then later after dinner he went and had a few beers with him. I had the evening alone.
When I got up in the morning I made coffee, started breakfast, the whole time I was making it I was watching deer out our back window. When I get a better picture of them I'll post it they come out almost every night or morning. Then I finished and made a zucchini chocolate chip cake and a baked pumpkin oatmeal.
After Jim got home and we had breakfast we went to my mother-in-law's and walked the dog while we waited for her to get home from church. I also had time to clean up the flower pots that we took over before we went to Tennessee. Got rid of all the dead stuff and moved them behind the barn so they're ready for next year's traveling flower beds . Then we took her for Chinese food, I ran in the store and bought Travis a birthday card for Tuesday. went back to the house and our son Travis and granddaughter Mia came over for a visit and his girlfriend and two boys.
When we got home to the fifth wheel we worked on cleaning up some of the outside area. Talked with some of neighbors, only four of us here now counting us . We rearranged some of the rugs outside to cover up the mud. And were weighing items that we are getting rid of to get some weight out of the truck now we have a grand total of 252 lb out.
