Sorry about this, my original message had other ideas than I did and when I posted, nothing was there…. I will try to recapture my previous thoughts and wit!
After leaving MI, we stopped and saw the brothers and families in Ft Wayne, IN – again. Makes for a nice stopping place, rest, visit, and do laundry of course. Logan and Sadie seemed happy to have time to visit and play also. Upon our return to our “home” we found all was still in tact and functioning. Always a good thing. We were told of a great ice storm that we missed – oh Darn – NOT!
We finalized our time with the Red Bay Experience by getting the back end buffed – the coach, not Rob; paid our bills; and said good bye to some new friends. We took the RV, car, and trailer to the scales that are at the dog food plant and did some weighing – the whole and parts. We have determined when all said and done, we’re not quite 3,000 lbs over weight. Our friends Jami & Shane would shake their heads at us to get it down. Guess we will need to trim some more weight, in other words “stuff”. We keep doing this when we have an opportunity which we did before leaving Red Bay. We took all our bins and buckets down in the trailer, swapped out some winter and summer clothes inside the coach, and got rid of a handful more things.
We left Red Bay on Friday late morning in the rainy weather and drove all the way down to Jemison AL, which is between Birmingham and Montgomery. Kudos to the techs for sealing up the rear passenger side under the floor. When we parked, the carpet was not wet at all! We already met some of the neighbors in the park, enjoyed their fire pit along with conversation and lots of laughs last night until the rain forced us under their awning to gaze longingly at the fire. The laughs and drinks continued on…
Research and options weighed, we have decided to make our domicile in FL instead of SD as we previously planned. We are coming up against some hurdles that we can’t get around. Hence the trip southward, but only as far as the panhandle area. For the next several weeks we will take care of getting the mail services set up, then it will be DMV and voting. Lastly we are going to be taking a class and obtain our CCW License aka CWL, depending on who you ask.
I haven’t done much in the way of photos since there hasn’t been a lot to see other than rain, rain, and you guessed it, rain. We have been good homebodies, doing indoor projects for ourselves, playing cards, cooking and baking. Occasionally we did have to venture outside of course to let Sadie water and fertilize the ground. It is definitely spring here as the pollen is making things yellow and the mosquitoes are a biting.
