We headed over to play shuffleboard with Debbie and Ken and Dee and Jim early in the afternoon. Came home and had happy hour while I made 'japanese' chicken for supper, with potatoes veggies and salad. It was some good.
We sat around most of the evening outside, visiting with other residents took the kids for a walk..as you can see we didn't do too much of anything. Maybe we're finally learning how to gear down and relax?!
We were getting ready to hit the hay around 11:30 when my computer starting ringing in the ichat mode. Our sons out west in Gibson's were calling. We chatted and had a great visit..they were having some cognac so Rick had a couple of Dalwhinnie and I had a couple of mudslides. Well maybe more than a couple. We finally got to bed around 2am.
This morning I got up and my head felt like cotton wool...I've never had that feeling before..maybe it was allergies-thankfully it was better after an advil and a pot of coffee.
There is a motorhome here in the park that has apparently been vacant and sitting in the same spot for 8 years. The owner was sick and they had to go back home I guess-after he passed away his wife for some reason hasn't returned. She sent a cleaner in today as she is considering selling the Motorhome. Mary (the cleaner) sure has a big job on her hands. Deb and I strolled over to see if she had everything she needed for the job. The roof fridge vent is missing (the tank vent covers disintegrated when touched) and weather and what not was entering the MH..so we volunteered our husbands Rick and Ken to go up and mask it off and cover it. She said there were alot of critters in there and left lots of traces of being there. She even found a shedded 'snake' skin (which she kindly showed us..ewww) hanging out of the floor furnace vent behind the drivers seat. Needless to say we didn't venture a foot in there. Here are the boys doing their volunteer work...Thanks Ken and Rick!!
Yup that roof is suppose to be white |
Rick was a bit worried the roof might be soft after so many yrs of no maintenance-but said it was ok |

that sure sounds like it is going to be quite the job to clean that rig up after all that time!!..good for you for being neighbourly and helping out!!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to learn to play Euchre and/or bridge. Never got round to it. Maybe one day.....sigh...
ReplyDeleteGood for y'all being so neighbourly and helping the cleaning up of that rig. Glad I am not buying it!

Looks like you had another great day, and scooter reminds me of our Sadie, although she is 8lbs now, but still the fastest thing on four legs,That motorhome that sat that long will be nothing but trouble, it will never run right and all kinds of mechanical problems await someone who would buy it. Maybe she should donate it to a fire department to use as a training aid in fighting RV fires.Be safe out there. Sam & Donna..
ReplyDeleteNice way to spend the afternoon with good company, and that you are getting to relax. Bet the furkids are loving the break from the snow also. Don't think I would care to go into that motorhome either. Have never played euchre or 3-31 but sounds like it would be fun to learn.
ReplyDeleteI would not be interested in the RV that has been sitting around for so long and neglected. Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice spot for the RV and it appears you have little time to relax with all the socializing. But it's cleat that you are having a really nice time.
Just gotta love the warm weather and relaxing no rush days. Can't imagine that motorhome being worth very much at all, even if its still usable.
ReplyDeleteYour park looks lovely. Great place to spend a month of R & R which you seem to be doing. Also a perfect location for the furkids, being able to keep them enclosed yet with some freedom.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for anyone who buys that motorhome. Good for you for helping.
