No Internet for a few minutes. In the near future, I will not have any Internet service because I’m leaving “Hughes”  in Livingston for yet unknown service in Waco. The lights flickered briefly but DISH  TV continued with CBS Sunday Morning.

There are several pre-prepared blog messages scheduled for the next several days.

…follow old Lorraine.”  Where? She drove to the laundry room in Rainbow’s End RV Park. Her “kind, thoughtful, considerate” landlady locked her out of the laundry room where they/she live(s). Three loads of laundry–and two hours later–another task could be checked off the list.

Privately I looked at the RV Park residents and said my silent “goodbye.” We were celebrating a birthday and an anniversary at our regular Sunday evening ice cream social. Some folks knew of my pending move and asked questions and extended best wishes. This has been my home for six years; it’s hard to say “goodbye” to friends and acquaintances. However, “new” friends and acquaintances are waiting for me one-hundred-eighty miles away, in Waco.

…come again another day.”

Thumbs down for the rainy day but exuberant (thumbs up) to report that I enjoyed a full night’s sleep. (Less stress, better sleep?)

Two Aleve in the early afternoon. More crawling around (this morning) with spray can of rug shampoo and a scrub brush. OMG, the odor of rug shampoo is overwhelming!! I have the door and a window open for ventilation. A gloomy day but warm enough to have door and window open. ~~ Keep your fingers crossed for me or say a prayer because a man stopped to look at the 5th-wheel and appears very interested. I will be eternally grateful if I can sell the trailer before I drive back to Waco!! ~~ Where does the time go? I couldn’t believe it was “afternoon” when I sat down (to rest) and prepare this message.

“Old lady” is vacuuming and cleaning the carpet. Crawling around on her hands and knees getting the corners! ~~~~ Actually, a dozen things captured my attention between the start of this message and publication. The important note-worthy project: A trip to Livingston (with the buyer of the cargo trailer) and ownership was transferred. Then a trip to the Bank with the money!! (Hallelujah!!) Books were delivered to the local library for their “Friends of the Library” book sale. Numerous genealogy books donated to the library’s genealogy department.

.

“The old lady” can safely say her ducks are all in a row.  The end of this “nightmare move” is within sight. However, “yours truly”  (the old lady) is eager for a buyer for the 5th-wheel trailer home.

All OK but too tired to prepare a message.  I’ll post pictures tomorrow.

RVer’s say “Home is where you park it”  so I’m “home” (temporarily).

.

P.S.  Oops!! Not the picnic table; the “blower” and cord. Funny how I see a faux pau after the message is published (20/20 hindsight).

…with Lorraine’s “earthly goods.”

Not very flattering picture of Lorraine enjoying Chinese Buffet (taken by Mark).

“Old lady” went to bed at 7:59 PM and gratefully slept well for seven hours. Wide awake at 3:00 AM and these pictures (and blog) prepared Friday, December 27th.
