Second Setup...Easter Day
Last day in an actual house. Con and I spent the morning cleaning Eightonefive. Vacuuming carpets, cleaning cupboards and emptying closets.
We have way too much shit. The truck is filling up fast. My god where does all this stuff come from?
By noonish we are ready to go get the trailer and start our adventure. Leaving the dogs at Eightonefive, we head for Jeanna and Toby's to hookup to the trailer and move it to Suntides. It probably takes us a half hour to make it road worthy.
Do need to remind ourselves to thank Jeanna and Toby and pick up our extension cord.
It is only 5 miles from Jeanna and Toby's to Suntides and I am in no hurry. We take the Old Naches Hwy to Suntides Rv Park and pull in. Our site is C4. We had reconned the best way to approach the site earlier and parked in the site with little effort. The hardest thing was figuring out the water and sewer hookups. the C3 site was using the C4 water and sewer connections making our connection points longer than was needed. After some adjustment we unhooked from the truck and leveled the trailer.
We divide the work, Connie starts unloading the truck and putting stuff away while I hook up to utilities and then I unload the truck, placing item just inside the trailer door, while Connie put things away. She is magic, stuff disappears into the trailer.
My sister Lori is having Easter at the ranch. I had initially said Connie and I would not come because we were moving that day. About 3:something I went on over, I knew that there would be plenty of food, while Connie waited at Eightonefive for a possible buyer (Jeannas' cousin Derek) for the mattress set. He did come by and the set was sold for pennies on the dollar.
Upon arrival, my sister Lori asked if I had heard about Mom.
No.
She had fainted earlier and was still at her house.
By way of explanation the original Ranch house (Lori), Moms' house and my sister Dianes' house are on the original 16 acres Mom and Dad purchased way back when, and within sight of each other. Connie calls it the Wilson Homestead.
Mom has fainted before, we have sought medical attention and they find nothing to explain them except that Moms age ( she will be 86 this 4/16) and we keep a close watch on her after each. Our brother, Doug, was with her and they were watching a movie at her house.
After grabbing a bite at Lori's I fixed a plate of leftovers for Connie, I wished all a happy Easter, then drove up to Mom's. Doug's daughter Erica and boyfriend Austin were also there. Mom looked fine and we all admonished her about getting enough fluids. Doug told of how he had called Diane about Mom fainting and she thought it an April fools joke. I brought them up to speed on mine and Connie's progress moving. Told them we were now at our first new address, Suntides. Kisses and hugs and I head to the trailer, finding out on the way from Connie that the mattress had sold and was gone. One more thing off the list.
I do not think that it has sunk in that this is now our home. Time will make it a home but for now it is the Trailer.
Tomorrow the carpet cleaners are coming between 10 and 11. I will leave it to your imagination to figure out what they will do.
