March Mayhem

It's been a busy March! I didn't realize it's been so long since I last blogged. The first weekend in March, the Wells Fargo community service event we were going to do got cancelled last minute. So we decided to join some members of our Rainbow RV Group and boon docked out in the middle of the desert near Congress Arizona. It was a great time. Very dry, gorgeous, cold at night and no running water or sewer but lots of water in the tank and gasoline to make the generator go! It was a great time!

The second weekend of March, we had a garage sale on Friday and Saturday. It was a lot of work to get ready. We swept through the house pulling out things to sell. We were very successful on Friday - $260 dollars in profit! Friday night, we swept the house again and brought out even more stuff. Saturday was equally successful. We had a 2-day total of $565! And better yet, we got rid of a bunch of stuff that we either didn't use or no longer wanted. It was great! At the end, we boxed everything up and put it in the garage. We decided we're going to have another one April 3rd and 4th - and will sweep the house again to get rid of even more! It's so cleansing to get rid of stuff in the house!

This weekend was a little more relaxing. We had a nice Friday, having dinner down at Ron & Marilyn's. Our other neighbors Greg and Bryan also came over and the 6 of us (and our 2 dogs) had a great dinner. We then played "Flip it" for quarters. We came out about even for what we brought. Greg and Bryan were a lot in the hole and Ron and Marilyn were probably even but short given Greg and Bryan losing big. It was a lot of fun.

Saturday morning, we went to the RV Show out at University of Phoenix stadium. Ron and Marilyn found one they really liked right away. We went with them on the test drive, and then left them alone to do the negotiating. They ended up not buying, but it sure was fun to go for a ride in it! While they were negotiating, Dennis and I found a motor home we REALLY loved. It was way out of our price range, but it was nice to dream. That's the best part about RV Shows - you can dream what it would be like to own and live in one of the big, expensive motor homes. It was fun!

When we got home from that excursion, we continued cleaning our house in preparation for Jean's visit on Tuesday. In addition, Jeff from Vegas is coming and spending Monday night here as he has an appointment at Mayo on Monday. We're almost done. It's easier now that we have less stuff in the house! About 5, we headed to Elephant Bar with Ron and Marilyn to have dinner and help them use some more of their Elephant Bar gift card! It was a very nice dinner. When we got home, we took the dogs into the bedroom to watch TV (our living room TV has a burned out light bulb) and I went to sleep about 8. I slept until 7 this morning. I was tired!

It's now Sunday, and it's a beautiful morning. It's 69 degrees, sunny, and the dogs and I are hanging out. Dennis went back to bed because he got up at 5. Today, we're going to finish cleaning and get Jeannie and Jeff's rooms put together. I also have a project I want to attack, to run PVC pipe from the pool pump to the sewer to make it easier to back wash the pool. We'll see if that gets done!

I hope everyone has a great week! I'll blog more when I can! Take care!
