The Countdown

The appraiser has been to the house and soon an inspector will visit. We think we'll be told the official closing date this week. We're hearing that the buyers would like to have it on the 18th with immediate possession! We are assessing our readiness for a quick transition and think we are in good shape. It's all very surreal, and a bit scary at times. Roy and I agree that not having a known departure date creates some anxiety. We can only tentatively plan what we'll do and when. Roy's long haul trucking experience will come in handy when we head down the road, as we want to make it as far south into warmer temperatures as quickly as possible. Once south of freezing weather, we'll be able to set the camper up for occupancy and our new life will begin!

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
