Vegetating

We have not been Mr & Mrs Excitement lately and this is showing in the Blog. The weather has been mixed here in Lakeland, FL. One day it is warm and sunny and the next day, warm and raining. This has delayed the one big job we have to do and that is to wash the motorhome. I may tackle that today. What we HAVE done is:

1) Defrost and clean both fridges
2) Do a HUGE laundry
3) Clean and arrange everything else inside
4) Wash the Honda
5) Help Paul prepare his pickup truck for sale. He bought it to tow his 5th wheel but has now decided to sell the house, park the 5'er in a Tampa park to live in and buy a small class B diesel rig to travel with. The pickup was no longer needed. It sold in less than a week.

Hmmm... Doesn't seem like much. Oh yes, The Canadian Briar Curling competition has been on and that takes up a few hours a day.

Paul has been busy at his latest job of demonstrating food at grocery stores. Yes, he is the guy in the little booth handing out samples and coupons for products ranging from shampoo to cereal to soft drinks. He took up this job to keep from being bored and to provide a little pocket money and now he is being moved up into the WAY more fun job of demonstrating beer and wine. He has fun doing it as it allows him to do what he loves, meet and talk to people. His personality is perfectly suited for this work. It is one more career to add to his long list which includes RV dealer, investment banker, private pilot, sea captain and adventurer and mystery writer. He is quite the character and our nightly get togethers are always filled with laughter (and the odd libation. His Bloody Mary's are to die for!). We will miss being here!

Speaking of which, we will start preparing to leave soon. We want to pick a route home that does not retrace our old routes but with the weather still cold in the east and midwest this might be a bit difficult. Google and the weather sites will provide a solution! Life is moving slower but is still Good!
