Keep on Keepin' On

We have been home for one month...........isn't it time to go somewhere?

After the jacks are repaired on the motor home. Three are in need of replacement parts, and I guess it would be wise to wait and take care of that. I have been following my friends as they make their way from Minnesota to Washington via Texas, sans motor home, and have been wishing it were me. A road trip in the car is second best to an outing in the MH.

Our time is pretty well occupied with trying to get the kitchen finished and tying up the loose ends. And it is like a line of dominoes with each step dependent on another so it is a bit of a balancing act. We are close to finishing the lighting, redoing some of the plumbing, and making a decision for the floor. Even with all that, it is quite joyful to work in new surroundings. I am equally thrilled with my new 25 cu. ft. french door refrigerator......I have never had such spacious luxury, and even after a major shopping trip it still looks empty.

Craig returned from spending time with his friend who is recovering at Walter Reed, and he says he is glad he went. I believe the next major hurdle for his friend is to get finished with surgeries, get stabilized, and then get moved here to Madigan.
As I mentioned, the trip was also an opportunity for him to spend time with Keith, Janet, and the girls.

Colleen's Sacred Music Chorale is having its spring concerts this weekend so I will attend tomorrow night in Lynnwood. It is quite an amazing group, about seventy strong and including a number of professional musicians, and the works performed never cease to amaze me.

We are looking forward to a short visit by the Spragues on the 16th of May. They will have been attending a rally in Wenatchee and then will come here for two nights. We don't have enough room in the driveway for two coaches, so we reserve space for them at the Fort Lewis Travel Park which is just a matter of three or four miles from here. It has been several years since they were here, but I know Karen can't stand to not see the kitchen!! I don't know what I will do to get them back here next time.

Enjoy the lovely spring days as each one brings more and more beauty. HK
