It has been 10 days

since I last blogged. But sometimes there just isn't much going on, either around me or in my head!

I will call in this evening to see if I have to show up for Federal jury duty on Monday; if so, Ken will go fishing without me. Not a problem. There are too many people who think they are too busy to perform their civic duty, and I certainly have the time.

We have spent our time catching up around here. Ken worked in the garage this week, and I am thrilled that I have a straight shot from the door to the car without having to jog around a ten-foot-long saw setup. Last week end was the annual 'get rid of stuff for nothing' in Steilacoom so there went some more stuff. Oh but there is so much more that should be dealt with.

Not having ever lived in the same house for more than six years has caused me to realize how easy it is to accumulate over a period of twelve years. According to her blog, Catherine Ousey in Winnipeg has been on the same task, and it sounds like "Got Junk" is another good outlet.

The motor home spent two days at the dealership so it is fairly hale and hearty again. The biggest issue was the broken pantry slide which caused us to have to tie it shut every time we moved camp. But I love those two sliding pantries, so I'll do whatever it takes to keep them in good working order.

I popped into a 2006 38' Adventurer while there, and I loved it. It has a very long slide on each side (about 15 feet) which creates a huge living area. The slide on the curb side accomodates a side hallway and bedroom wall. The slide on the driver's side expands the seating/dining area. There is a second lavatory vanity in the bedroom, and the bathroom has two doors allowing it to be entered either from the bedroom or the hallway.

We have no travel plans at the moment although the Jaynes have a five day fishing trip to Waitts Lake the latter part of May, and have asked if we are interested. Of course! Thanks to the Spragues, we have a place to store the MH should we want to take it to Spokane and leave it if we have more than one trip planned for Spokane and beyond. That would be a huge savings for gasoline.

I am without my sewing machine for the day since I took it in for a tune up yesterday. I might as well take advantage of the warranty. I have several projects in process, but nothing completed. And of course see many many more that I want to try.
