Offer Accepted!

We signed on an offer the day before Thanksgiving, and the family wants to be moved in by Christmas!!! Things are going to start happening very fast over the next 3 weeks. We're thrilled, but also fearful of getting our hopes up and not having the sale go through. The buyers are as excited as we are, and financing seems assured. I'll continue working until December 20th. We might just be headed over the river and through the woods to warmer places before the first big snowfall! Woo Hoo!!!

Great Title - Poor Recommendation

This book is very dry reading! It reads like a manual. Over several months, I've managed to read-skim to page 417 of 561. I'm not sure I'll make it to the end. Despite the lack of enjoyment in reading it, I must give the authors credit for covering all the basics of living in an RV. The two points I gained from this book are: 1. Remodel the interior to fit your needs. 2. Maximize every space for storage. Suggestions were made for organizing cabinets, utilizing wall space, and building shelves in small spaces one might not think of using. Although I haven't enjoyed this book, I'm currently reading another by the same authors, and am finding it pleasant to read. More on that later. Marilyn

In The Interim

Never a dull moment here. While waiting for the house to sell, I have decided to return to the work force. I've worked out a very cool arrangement with our local hospital to contract my services as a speech therapist to them. A key point in the arrangement is a clause whereby I may release myself from the contract with a 30 day notice. Sweet! We weren't quite ready to give up on our chances to escape the Winter or delay the start of our adventure. The plan is for me to work with K-5th grade students at Lincoln School in the Soo. I'm actually thinking this could be fun after a four year break. I'll be able to stop by the shelter at the end of the work day and hug my kitties, too! Marilyn
