LEAVING DAY

Delivery day...

AND SO we finally get to the end and the beginning: Leaving Day. We got the entire house cleaned out, except for our bed, and the night before it's June 25 so the fireworks are going off like crazy and Whisky is absolutely freaking out so I spend a good two hours trying to hold her on the bed but I finally gave up and let her down, she was so worn out by then from trying to get away she dropped into a deep sleep in the corner, fireworks notwithstanding. Not how I want to spend my last night but often you can't get what you want...

We get up and shower and move the bed down to the carport to join a whole lot of other things we're having the gardeners haul off, including Julie's cowboy boots which as it turns out we could have kept oh well.

AND NOW we're ready to go...we take one last swim in the pool for about 20 minutes. Then we get dressed and I go out to hook up the Fiat to the tow dolly and realize we're not quite ready - the wheel straps don't fit. I call the manufacturer and the lady tells me the straps are fully adjustable, which I was aware of but for some reason forgot, and then Julie and I get the adjustments done and we hook up the car and start the RV and drive away...

The Five Words You've All Been Wondering if I'll Say

It happened the morning we were getting ready to leave Glenwood Canyon.  It had been an emotional week. We were doing all the things we did with my dad. Even Rusty got misty eyed at one of my dad's favorite restaurants. But the thing that I stupidly didn't realize was that we were there on my dad's birthday. He would have been 85. That hit me pretty hard but I guess I didn't realize it until we were getting ready to leave. Don't get me wrong, I love Glenwood Canyon. It's one of the most amazing places and it's no surprise why my dad loved living there. Between all the emotions and the fact that I woke up the morning we were leaving to a tweaked back, I think it was just too much. Rusty had gotten up to prep the sewer and, water and electrical outside and I was working on prepping the inside. Making the bed is a contortionist's nightmare without a tweaked back to say the least but I got it made. Then I start to notice blood on the floor. I figure the dog...

First Driving Lesson

Yep, that's me behind the wheel. Rusty and I found this great service road about a mile long next to an organic farm. He had me practice figuring out where my back rear tires were, straight backing up, three point turns, and whipping a u turn. I even parked it in our camping spot! Needless to say I was very nervous to start with but after a while I was feeling pretty good, although it's really hard to figure out where your back right tire is. Of course, driving it down the highway will be totally different! I'm really glad that we got a smaller RV. Some of them are HUGE. I can't imagine driving them down the road... xoxo Julie
