Wintering for three months in our fifth-wheel has made us realize how spoiled we have become. I noted in my last blog that we were on our way to look at new campers. We found by spending months in our camper that we longed for comfortable chairs while reading a book, watching the news, or just a short rest. We also struggled when preparing meals with not enough counter space. The living room chairs were at the entrance door of the camper proving awkward for visitors who would have to walk past our legs to enter. The couch sat low and was hard to get off of and the bench seats at the kitchen table were cramped. Wow, are we spoiled or what? So.....you guessed it .....we found a new home to winter in, a 34 foot fifth-wheel with four slide outs and a center entrance. We now have recliners, lots of kitchen counter space, a standard table and chairs, a desk for the laptop, and more dresser drawers in the bedroom. Yippee!
It sure was a job emptying the old camper and reloading the new one. You can't imagine how much stuff accumulates in one of those. I don't know how the weight could be legal. Dennis weighed the truck and is going to take the camper one day this week to have it weighed. I guess we will know soon enough if I have to start taking things back out. :).
Time goes by very fast when you retire. I can't believe we have been home almost a month and have much to get done before leaving again in a couple of weeks. We are looking forward to our new adventures. I am still hoping some of you have suggestions of places for us to see and visit. I'm sure you have been to places I have never been and could give us some good ideas.
Soon to be on the road again.
