SUPPER CLUB - Monday, Oct 15
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2018 4:38 am
Good morning!
Well, what a jam-packed weekend we had! Yesterday I did several load of laundry, swapped sheets on our bed for flannel, cleaned cupboards in trailer and reorganized everything, restocked items like paper goods, spices, etc, cleaned the garage, baked banana bread, and watched the Seahawks WIN! They were really soaring in London!
Today is more laundry (bedding), some uglies, digging out our travel 2-foot Christmas tree, and also my totes of Christmas clothes, choosing what goes to Texas and washing, packing it. We also need to vacuum out our trailer storage bins and start packing in things that go to Autumn.
We haven't set a departure date yet, though it will be as soon as we can get it together after Oct 28 which is when we are getting together with our local family. We also haven't chosen a route yet either as that is dependent on weather. We'd like to go east through Montana then turn south through WY into CO to visit my sisters. But we may just shoot straight south through CA. We can deal with cold, but snow stops us literally in our tracks. Anyway, much of my days now are preparing the trailer to go or the house/yard to leave. Our PLAN is to be settled in Texas by the weekend before Thanksgiving.
SHIRLEY MAE - always nice when you stop by Supper Club to visit! Sorry about all the health problems. Hope Rod's burns weren't too bad! It will be fun to see your AZ family again!
TINA - I hope Frankie's sibs show up for Klobase. Sharing the fun is what makes it FUN! Wow, Kevin's life has changed so much in the last couple years - a wife, a son, a house, a good job, and a DOG! You mean you both now have a dog named Rosie? lol!
BECCA - I guess we are ALWAYS happy with our RV. We've had 3 truck campers and a motorhome, but once we got our Arctic Fox fifth-wheel we really settled in. We'd still have the old one if it weren't for all the upcoming necessary work to be done on the underneath (suspension, springs, etc). We decided after 15 years a new one was in order and we bought the exact same model and love it even more! It's small enough to tow and park easily but large enough to be comfortable in for months at a time. And it has lots of room for extra fabric! But it's always fun to look! Our friends, Bob & Betsy, texted us last night from Oregon. They have an Arctic Fox truck camper and said they are going to get a trailer soon instead so of course, we had to haul out all literature we save on Arctic Fox to inspect the rig they plan to buy. It's fun! and now you've got me started! lol!
IRiSH - glad ND won! The sweatshirt worked! Do your lunching friends enjoy sports like you do? If so, you should take turns hosting each other so you can share the fun. You can have tailgate parties in your driveway! Of course, you'll need a tailgate, but there's lots of those at junkyards for cheap! lol!! No, I passed on little Dotty, as cute as she is. I'd have a half-dozen cats except I've noticed that since we've only had Foxy, the hair in this place (and in our home on wheels) has been cut by 75%. Kind of enjoying that. But Scottie would love a kitten or a puppy. So Bill isn't letting Scottie vote. Or me, for that matter.
JANA - your red/white tree sounds awesome! I love Christmas, too. I used to let Lara have a little on in her bedroom when she was little (like age 3). she got to decorate it however she wanted. When the other kids came along there was no room for a tree and all those grabby little hands. We always have a 3-foot tree in the trailer if we're out over Christmas. It's a condition that HAS to be met if I'm leaving home over Christmas. If he hasnt' done it yet, tell Matt to check out any off-season deals your state parks may have.
Supper tonite is going to be pasta. Bill can decide if he wants marinara, pesto, or alfredo sauce. Salad on the side. Easy peasy.
and what can we get for you?
