Clam Digging, Skiing and Skydiving

You don't choose your family.  They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. 

The weekend is over and things are getting back to normal. Terry’s flight arrived back in Las Vegas Sunday evening.  In addition to the Doctor’s appointment he was very busy with our family.  The pictures here give you an idea of what he did.  My time wasn’t quite so adventurous and I took no pictures.

The time has certainly flown by.  It always seems to do that.  It’s amazing how when you’re a kid in school and can hardly wait for the summer to arrive that time seems to crawl.  Then, it would crawl if you were looking forward to Christmas or a vacation.  Now time just flies.

Remember Stop the World, I want to Get off?  Sometimes I wish we could control time just so we had more of it on certain days and less of it on other days.  However, that’s a dream and not reality.

I didn’t go back to the Strip.  I wanted to but I was so busy doing everything else that I just didn’t have time.  I was busy cleaning.  Boy, did I clean.  I also moved furniture around.  Now I know that’s hard to do in a motorhome because there aren’t a lot of options and, of course, not a lot of furniture either.  I organized my computer table by turning it sideways.  It seems there is so much more room now.  However, that took a bit.

Cleaning out my drawers and closet was another big task.  I had been wanting to do this for some time.  I figured now was the time.  There were many items I either no longer liked or just didn’t wear.  They are now in the Goodwill donation bag.  All in all I trashed 21 tops, 12 bottoms and 1 pair of pajamas!!  Oh, I still have more to go but this was a great start. 

The expensive paint we had mixed for the motorhome was also put to use.  I touched up the outside scrapes and gashes.

Now that’s been a busy few days not just for me but for the rest of the family from the state of Washington to Florida!  However, I think they had much more fun that I did.

The area of the RV park  we are currently at is pretty tight.  We've been in this park several times but not on this short row.  Some of the RVs  across the road have just enough room for the RV and no room for the vehicle.   

Actually, we were pretty lucky with our site in that it was wide but only because we are parked next to the laundry.  Some sites empty out in the morning but are usually full again by evening.  After being spoiled this winter by some wide open spaces, this is just a tad too cramped. There is entertainment here though as we watch other RVs struggle to park.  We're anxious to get on the road but dragging our feet because where we are at is free.  Free is good.  We're taking it just one day at a time and eventually we'll pull those levels up and get on the road again.
