Sunday again. 10:00 Mass and then home. We are getting caught up on laundry and book work and starting to think about packing for Arizona. I watched my Chiefs win AGAIN! and started gathering the items we wanted to take to Katie, Ben and Deb & Joe and for the wedding needs. Gary pulled out our suitcases from the outside bay storage. After the game, I went to Walmart and picked up groceries and needed items. Gary is making Peppers and Shells tonight! Yummy! Back home to watch the chef in action, he does a great job in our little kitchen. Turns out our saute pan and pasta pan crowd pretty tight on the stove top, but he made it work. A relaxing evening with nice weather again!
Monday - we wake up to rain and it rained all day. We packed our cooler weather clothing in the suitcases, so I took all that out and started packing for the wedding trip. Gary's white dress shirt has been rolled up in a drawer, so we will wash and iron that at Deb & Joe's after we arrive. I had to try my dress on and figure out what jewelry to wear with it and other accessories. The weather there will be highs in the 80's, lows in the 50's - Dan and Connie have ordered perfect weather for the wedding week.
Gary drove over to the propane dealer to make sure we could get propane tomorrow. I spent the entire day inside, it was just too wet, cold and windy out. Days like this we are enjoying our cable television options. Tonight we had salmon patties for supper, I'm trying to use up things out of our pantry. Monday night football and resting.
Tuesday - today is propane day. Sounds easy, just drive over and have them fill up our tank, BUT this also means putting everything away inside, securing everything again for travel mode, unhooking everything outside and pulling the slides in. It always takes longer than we think, so it was noon before we were ready. I went over and told the office we would be gone for awhile, they were looking for a window of time that they could mow our site and the adjoining ones. It was a nice sunny day again, just a little cooler.
Off to the propane store, their parking lot was muddy and full of puddles, but we got backed in and filled up. We stopped and filled up the gas tank too, Gary will put some stabilizer in it since we (hopefully) will be sitting again until just before Christmas when we winterize it to come home.
When we got back to the campground, they were just mowing, so a delay there, but they did a thorough job. We changed our parking on the site to be on firmer ground, then it was time to set up again. While backing in, we turned into some softer ground from the rain across the road! (Yikes!!) but the captain got it out without getting stuck. Gary worked outside hooking everything up and I put almost everything out again inside. A couple more hours work, but now we will have enough propane to run the furnace when we need it.
Finished packing, showers, leftover Peppers & Shells supper, we are ready for travel tomorrow! We will miss our entire Amazon shift this week, but we had arranged that with them before we signed on. It will be great to see everyone - all Gary's siblings will be there and our kids, Connie's family and the many friends we have made in Saddlebrooke where Dan & Connie and Deb & Joe live. It will be a wonderful celebration.
