Not really much of an exciting day again. Well, I guess to some it might be if you like Wal-Mart and Joann fabrics. We picked up some coordinating fabric for the dinette trims and then stopped at Wal-Mart for a few things. Once we got home, I did laundry (yes, again) and Jim worked on recovering the trims. As a matter of fact, he's working on the last one now.
Last it snowed was yesterday. For some reason, the fact that snow is still on the Cherokee roof is disturbing to Jim. He asks, "Why is it that if I strap something to the roof, it's sure to blow off, yet at highway speeds, this snow stays put?" Other than the Cherokee break-in, it's been a dull week, so I guess we need to have something to obsess about.
Another reason for the dull blog entries lately is that the TV has been on a lot. I get distracted as I think about blog entries and then often I get "hooked" on something that's on. Before I know it, hours have passed, the laptop is still showing the blog entry screen, and I'm ready for bed.
Truthfully, while the showers here are wonderful, I miss the RV. I'm very comfortable in it. It feels much more like home than this hotel. I suppose that's a strange statement. How does one feel comfortable having a steering wheel in their living room? I don't know, I just do.
Speaking of steering wheels in living rooms, a few weeks back I passed by a newer huge RV that had one of those small round table toppers with a lamp on it at the front window. I figured it was one of those cheap 3 legged round tables that you can add a table cloth and top it with glass. Not so odd, except on an RV, that's where the dashboard and steering wheel is. How did that fit there. My question was answered when I saw this at camping world. Don't they think of everything?

After we're done with Salt Lake City, we're going to venture to St. George, UT. It looks like a nice city. We'll have a chance to make sure everything was repaired properly before heading to Washington. Booking a campground in a National or State park is tough. Most often, they don't supply full hookups, usually omitting sewer connections. I guess they don't want our bodily wastes. The 2 we have stayed at were laid out extremely well. The campsites were so far away from one another, while in a private campground, the sites are so close you can barely extend your awning or slide. Jim found a state campground in St. George and if it's anything like Cheaha in Alabama or Cherry Creek in Colorado, I'll be thrilled.
This is about the time of year I particularly miss living out west. I heard the other day it had already been snowing. I just love snow-covered mountains. When you're living out there you get used to it (or at least I did, even though I told myself I wouldn't). My drive to work in the morning looked JUST liked that in the winter. Great pics.
ReplyDeleteOh how I miss the snow covered mountains. Those pics are so beautiful. I can almost see my Montana friends boarding along one of those trails....I didn't realize that was Jim in the first "sewing" pic...thought you took a picture at some sweat shop.....It's Hawaii weather here now....doable...I think I'll stay and just peruse pics of snow.
ReplyDeleteApuakea is in the hospital going on day 3. She has some kind of allergic reaction to something. Or they are looking at some type of infection. Or they said the bad words Lupus/Lymes disease...Josh is a mess trying to take care of a baby that is used to mothers milk...you really should go see him in Fargo...he could use the help...you could whip up a papoose while you have the upholstery spirit going....Love and when you get enough snow on the ground I'll take a snow angel...Aloha...Pantz
Wow, I guess the snow covered mountains are popular. Hopefully I'll get some good, clear shots of them.
ReplyDeleteNancy: Poor Josh and poor Apuakea, but we don't do children.
