WHOOSH !

It’s behind us.  Our vehicle is safely parked at Justin’s place in Virginia and our motorhome is now safely parked in storage.  It was a little difficult getting into our safe place especially with the owner trying to direct Terry to backup.  Egads!  He almost had him side swipe another unit because he wasn’t looking on the other side.   Thank goodness it’ll be easier to get it out than it was to get it in.

After a great meal at Texas Roadhouse with Justin and his roommate, we spent the night in a hotel close to the airport.  Our airport transportation was arranged so we'd be there before the crack of dawn.  That part was perfect except we hated the hotel. 

Luckily Terry snagged the only available seat on the first plane out of Norfolk.  I had to wait until the next flight but it all worked out great. We met in Dallas and caught the planned flight to Portland landing about noon.   Whoosh!  We were there.  It certainly would have taken much longer in the motorhome and cost one heck of a lot more. 

Now the real work begins.  First, it was tearing out part of the old deck and getting rid of some flower boxes.  Then, it was spending a lot of money on materials.  The good thing is we had help and the help was cheap.  We have so many things to do.  Terry used to help my dad on all his projects.  Now we get pay-back.

We did have a few visitors besides our daughter and her husband.  A couple feral cats came to see what we were up  to.  I haven’t seen my favorite yet, Miss Kitty.  We also had several inquisitive neighbors stop by for a handout or two.

My list of things we need to do here are about as long as my bucket list of places to visit in the RV this year.


‘Tis life on the road.
