Bingo last night.  So I was up to late and then up to early this morning.  But I did scrounge up $1.00 worth of change and played a game ..... and won $45.00.  The bingo gods smiled on me.  And I stopped.  Was so grateful to have that $45.00 I about cried.  lol   I'm tired.  I'd like to go back to bed.   And just would like to say one more time for the record books ..... old lady bingo players can be BITCHES! Smiley


The thermostat for the trailer arrived yesterday and Dave installed it immediately.  And as of this morning the refrigerator works!  YAY!  So it looks like MAYBE JUST MAYBE we will be able to get out of here sometime this weekend.  I'm actually feeling the anxiousness in the body so I know its going to happen soon.  I can't wait.

So today will be spent getting some stuff together and setting it aside so that as soon as Dave says "load her up" ...... I'll be loading her up ......

The dogs have been really funny as the trailer has started to look more like a trailer again.  Maybe they can sense our anxiousness.  Joe especially ..... once the trailer door opens for Dave to be working he is in it.  And won't come out.  I think he is making sure we don't leave him behind.  They know the trailer means river ..... and that means: lizard hunts, swimming, stick chasing, sleeping in the warm sun on the beach, chasing squirrels ...... and fish ..... and water skippers ..... oh my ..... so much to do for a dog.  They love their time down there.

We have managed to get rid of the majority of the earwigs from the garden.  We now have five very happy healthy artichokes growing like crazy.  The strawberries are sweet and juicy and in abundance.  The raspberries are turning a beautiful red and will soon be devoured ..... we have so many this year ..... its crazy.  The first zucchini will more than likely be picked today and eaten with dinner.  The tomatoes are small but in a couple weeks ..... oh, yum ..... can't wait.  My peppers are coming on like gangbusters and Dave picked the first one this morning.  We also have a water snake living .... well, everywhere.  He was in the fishpond the other day enjoying a tadpole or two ..... then this morning he was enjoying his cool summer morning in the strawberries.  He keeps startling me ...... I have no fear of water snakes ..... but when you don't know they are there ...... SHIT! 

Mom is now hooked up to Lifeline and Dave and I can leave without too much worry or guilt.  I was gone when they came yesterday but Dave made sure mom understood how to use and when to use.  The biggest problem we are having now is just getting her to understand she wears this thing 24/7.  Even in the shower.  Its a button that she wears around her neck.  Last night she was worried it didn't go with her shirt.  "Mom, we are not making a fashion statement here."  She just grunted in disgust.  ***sigh***

Posting another slideshow of the trailer and other stuff ..... just wish we had taken one of the double sink and stove / oven ...... it's really nice ...... didn't realize till I started to put this together we neglected the front inside of the trailer ..... oh well.

I hope everyone's Tuesday is a good one.  Peace y'all ......

Re: THE THERMOSTATE IS HERE! THE THERMOSTAT IS HERE!
Well, we are planning on five days in and two out ..... and there may be times when one or the other of us will have to come out on our own because the other won't want to ..... lol ..... it will be a play it by ear thing for sure ..... the need for food and laundry will dictate that somewhat to.  AND you and Justin are going to come and visit????? YES??????  YES???????  Dominoes and Cribbage await ....... lol ....... and of course FUN in nature ...... lol

Peace.  J.

Yeah, mom was still complaining this morning ..... I told her to shut up and wear the dumb thing. lol

GRRRR!

Re: THE THERMOSTATE IS HERE! THE THERMOSTAT IS HERE!
you know we will come!  i can't remember... was there a potty in the trailer too?  or is that all done outside?  (i gotta know if i need to get myself one of those porta-seat things )

Re: THE THERMOSTATE IS HERE! THE THERMOSTAT IS HERE!
No potty in the trailer anymore ...... but we have a regular chemical porta potty that flushes and everything that will be put in a private location outside away from the trailer ...... I got tired last year of the smell leeching up every now and then ...... it wasn't bad just every now and then the whiff of porta potty ...... ewwww ..... so outside it goes.  So you really won't need to worry about the porta seat thing unless you really want to ..... we also have a board with a seat attached that straddles a hole ..... if you prefer .... and a shovel for immediate covering .... such a nice conversation huh?  lmao

Peace.  J.

Yay, finally the bingo gods smiled on you!!!  And you are ready to leave.  Plus, the photos are fantastic.

 

I'll be sending you happy thoughts about getting on the road and getting some much-needed respite!

(oh btw, I deleted that post about the Four Squeezins and reposted it). 

Namaste, and big hugs, A.

Re: THE THERMOSTATE IS HERE! THE THERMOSTAT IS HERE!
Oh God, I don't blame you for being excited, after what you guys have been through.  Maybe things are changing for the positive!!!!  Your bingo win was a sign ;~)

 

Namaste, (but I'm gonna miss you) A.  Don't forget, if you get a chance, to write to my friend.  She was just here and is going back to Trinity on Thursday.  We might even come up there sometime this summer to visit.  woo hoo...(then we'll look you up, if we do)
