The Journey of House on Wheels Begins

 

WE DID IT!!!  The house sold, have a newer motor home which is now Home.  This has been an exciting, grueling, anxious filled 2 months.  We really had no expectation that the house would sell.  We did drop the price by $20,000 and 2 days later had an offer.  Pretty much all the Stuff is gone.  Several weekends of garage sales and word of mouth.  We have a 24 foot cargo trailer that is full of things we can’t live without soon to be gone through and more things eliminated.

We made the big move across the street to Leone’s as she has RV hook ups and a place for the trailer and the big truck.  We left the house at 3:30  and the new people were moving in at 4:00.  Odd to see all the changes going on but all for the best.  I have kept 4 flower pots, my bird feeders and one bird house stuffed in the back of the jeep.   Spent 4 nights here and then off to Fossil for the bluegrass festival.

Got to the fairgrounds early so found a good spot.  We are rather large now 40 feet in length so not every place works for us.

 

This is our third year now at the festival.  Weather was cool, but much better than the 100 degrees last year.  Had time to do a little exploring and picture taking.  We love the country East, just a slower pace.

 

We are now back in our little spot at Leone’s enduring this hot weather.  Motor home is definitely not as cool as our house.  Gary has worked the last 2 days and I am watering for friends that have gone to the coast for 10 days.  Enjoy the watering and getting in on a nice garden.  It is interesting to stand and look across at our house and yard.  They are doing a lot of work (all good) so fun to watch the progress.

Plans now are to leave in mid September and go with friends to Utah and ride the trails there and then continue South all subject to change of course.
