Things Are Clearing Out

The house if getting bare.

Master bedroom & my upstairs office are empty.

Doug & Anthony are taking the bedroom set from the other bedroom.

Kathy sold the leather living room furniture to the people down the road who have plowed our drive for the past several winters (actually we have had two neighbors plowing our drive)


 The family room is empty except for the coffee table Nate made and some misc stuff that is going into storage in TN.

 Kathy downstairs office if empty except for the rocker that is going to TN and an empty filing cabinet that we still need to get rid of.



Kathy got rid of a LOT of STUFF during her two days of garage sale. Most of what is left will go to Goodwill.

Even my pole barn looks clean and fairly empty.

As far as we know we are still on track to close on the house on Wed morning, and then off to TN on either Thur afternoon or Fri morning.

After some time in TN we will wander over to Kelsey's in Russellville, MO. I've contacted some church camps along the route and have had 5 positive responses, 1 in TN and 4 in southeast MO. Basically all have said that they could all use some help and that they could provide us with a full hook-up for our RV. Once we get a better idea of how long we are going to stay in TN we will choose 1 or 2 of them and firm up plans/dates.

May God bless you and yours.

May 19th - Mt Ranier

Image
This morning I went to Walmart to get a prescription refilled. On the way back I snapped the photos below. It is quite interesting how people level off an area on the side of a hill and build houses. The spots you see, half way up the hillside, are homes.  The white hump in the center of the photo below is Mt. Ranier. It is about 70 miles from where I took the photo. We decided to go take a closer look at Mt Ranier today. That required retracing about 70 miles of what we drove yesterday, but we figured it was worth it because the scenery is breathtaking. We stopped along the road and I took a photo of the road ahead. The "line" across the photo is the road as it goes across the face of the "mountainside".  This is a photo of the the slope over the side of the guard rail. Note the pattern of the pine trees near the top of the photo.  The photo below is also over the side of the guardrail but shows what is above the previous photo. You can match them with the pine tre...

Apr 24th - Pick Up Kathy

Yesterday and today the weather was scheduled to be partly sunny. It drizzled rain on and off all day yesterday and all morning today. There is some sun right now. Yesterday I painted the carpet ball game and this morning Frank put on the finishing trim. It is now 100% complete. At 7:30 this morning I went up to the bathroom I have been working on, move the toilet base from outside to inside and turned the heater on so that everything would be warm for the new wax ring. Then I went back to the RV and had breakfast. After breakfast I went back and set the toilet. I went out and turned the water on ( the valve we had initially shut off served a pair of trailers). I was surprised at the very low water pressure. I couldn't imagine how anyone could take a shower with such low pressure. I kept playing with the valve in the toilet tank trying to get some water. Finally I figured something had to be wrong. I walked out and around the other trailer and water was pouring out of the wate...

Sept 22nd - Tried Out 0the New Saw

Image
I cut a couple of logs in two with my new chain saw. It did OK, but I'm not going to like the "break-in" procedure. You aren't supposed to run it at full throttle for the first couple of tankfuls of gas, that is going to take FOREVER. The "good stuff" that I have been cutting is HARD. Cutting 15-20" diameter logs at less than full throttle is a pain. I forgot to include this photo in one of my previous posts. Kelsey took it the morning Kathy was in the hospital. Lydia had been smiling but when I asked Kelsey to take the photo the smile went away.  Kelsey & Lydia left Kathy a note the evening that she had surgery. Kathy was still out of it and barely remembered them being their. The note on the side says, "We love you Grammy". It is signed Love Kelsey & Lydia.  Below is part of our wood pile. I have between 1.5 and 2 cords in the lean-to over the wood furnace. This stack is about 7' tall and 16' long. There are probably two pick...
