Thinking of my summer home....

Getting short time in one location kind of limits what you can do....  Its too late to order anything that will be sent to the Arizona address because hopefully I won't be here....  But then sitting here checking the weather in Kansas says I won't be going there either....

My son and his family came back from Florida yesterday where they had been spending spring break....  They had nice weather in the high 60s and low 70s...  Spent time on the beach and everything....  But then came the dreaded trip back to Kansas....

As he arrived last night it was in the low 40s and was projected to go below freezing before morning...  He pulled in at 7 PM and was immediately out putting pink stuff into his fifthwheel's water system...  And it did make it below freezing last night too....

They were forecasting snow....  again?  

So while it was 87 here this afternoon, and usually reaching 90 is the trigger to head on out, perhaps not right away........  I loaded up a lot of the winter clothes that are no longer needed here and some of the once and a while stuff and took it over to the storage lot today....

After putting things into the closets and drawers, I pulled the coach out and hooked onto the utility trailer with the Jeep....  I brought that home with me, only to find that my neighbors were taking all of the parking spaces out in the street...  Had to leave it across the driveway....

The family across from us has several workers that show up in the morning before work...  They must go in one vehicle to the job site, so we end up as a parking lot...  But later tonight I will hook back onto the trailer and push it backwards into a parking spot that isn't in front of my drive...  They will just have to deal with it tomorrow morning...

With the new batteries, the coach started right up and ran like a top...  Biscuit went with me and was checking out the inside of the rig with her smeller.....  You know everything has to be sniffed to make sure there aren't any new dog smells...  I think she is just smelling the messes that she has made before.. (even though I cleaned and cleaned)..

But when it came time to leave the coach in storage and come back home she didn't want to come out....  She's my little RVer dog alright...

I spent the weekend doing house chores and watching the many basketball games...  Seems like everyone I would have been rooting for lost....  Well except Iowa State that got kind of a gift at the end when the clock operator messed up starting the clock after a made shot... But then the North Carolina kid didn't call time out quick enough either...  Its hard to do these things perfect.... and you know that NC thinks they were robbed.....

I keep telling myself that in all these tournaments, there can only be one team that doesn't loose...  So there are 67 loosers.....  And we teach our kids that winning is everything and the only thing...... Yea right....

Its almost 5 PM, and I wonder if that fellow has moved his truck yet....
