Cold mornings warm afternoons

 

Sun was high in the sky

This morning we were up about 7:00...well I was...Sherri made it up much earlier. She had the coffee made and was on the computer playing scrabble. I poured me a cup and sat down at my computer to read all my friends exciting day events. Most everyone is in Arizona where it is warm with drop dead beautiful views of the mountains and desert. That is where I want to be next winter if at all possible.

OK so this winter I am here and they are there and I have to contend with it. I will have to say that being here in my home on wheels is better than being stationary in a S/B with all the upkeep that goes with it. I can always pull up stakes and move to a new backyard.

This is my backyard

Yesterday was wash day. We did not head to the laundry until late but we did get all our traveling clothes done and packed away. We have to head out again Sunday for the week but we will return Friday. As I understand it we will only have to work one day the following week so that means we will have 6 days off before we head back out West. Now I can go for that. Maybe I can find time to clean out the house and wax it. You know your a Red Neck if you wax your house.

We bought groceries for the first time in a long time yesterday. It has been weeks since we bought any groceries. Well I will have to say that we bought more non grocery items than grocery. You know how you get down to needing paper towels and dishwashing liquid...laundry detergent etc. While we have been traveling we don't have to use all that stuff as much so it is a while before we have to replace it. It was quite a shock to pay for all that but we will not have to go again for some time.

I guess that will be the hardest thing for us to get use to when we hang up our jobs is having to buy groceries to eat! Sherri told me that she does not do recipes she does menus. That will have to change one day and we will have to use the kitchen for more than just making coffee.

Well the sun is well into the sky and Sherri is getting ready for her hair appointment. I on the other hand will remain in my sleeping shorts until lunch at which time I will shower and head out to cut down a tree. One of our co-workers has a tree in his yard growing next to a fence and he needed help getting it cut down. I have not done anything like that in years...I have no trees in my yard.

That is about the sum total of this day and my plans are set. I will post again and let you know how the tree falling goes...

Somewhere in Time
