At least we hope it’s this week. If we get into our coach this Thursday, and thats the current plan, it will mean that my sweety has been waiting onlyabout 10 weeks to get into her new home. She is truly a patient woman.
Whe had a bit of a delay when the previous owners had a small health issue, so there went a couple of weeks, then the coach sat in the yard at Sicard’s waiting to get into service to get prepped (we are busy) Finally it seems my “To Do” list for the techs was a little longer than usual (it is going to be our home right) and then last week, as the time drew nearer, it was either we got our coach on time or a customer got theirs. Guess who won?
Anyway, everything looks on track for this Thursday afternoon.
Now I’m thinking maybe we should have gone for this one.
It’s been at least a year since Marilyn and I have been for a run and I have the belly to prove it.
My son Darren and his wife Sherry run a bit and have been raving about their new Nike Free running shoes. I’ve been thinking for months I need to do something and maybe these new shoes would be the ticket to get me back at it. So a couple of weeks ago, in a true reversal of roles, Darren took me out to help me buy me a new pair of shoes.
So if I have new shoes, then it’s only fair that Marilyn has new shoes. Yesterday morning, both proudly wearing our new skins, Mar & I headed out on a sort of run around the park. It felt good, we both enjoyed it and for our first trip out in over a year, we both did pretty good. Now we just have to get in the habit of doing it again and again.
Ok, you guys have to make up your minds….run or should I say jog to your next destination ..or drive!!! Are you going to be like our finance minister who appears with new shoes at budget announcement….or are you going to commit (no bull####) to jog to look real good with your new home??? A challenge !!!! Oh Yeah, by the way, Pat and I do not accept “mirror” challenges cause we can’t afford the Nikes that you just bought!!!
Actually , I’m jealous….those boots look great!!! Can we share? Better idea, you do the miles and transfer some to me…I’ll pay (a few pesos)
A week or so ago I told you that our new home was getting closer to being ours. I even showed you pictures of the inside. I’m sticking to that story. Albeit slowly, it is moving ever closer to being ours. Yesterday it finally made it into the shop to begin the inspection process and add the goodies like the satellite dish, satellite radio, surge protector, solar panel, built in vacuum, and more.
The original plan was that it would all be done and we would be moving in by September third or so. Maybe if we all cross our fingers together we can get it done by that date.

The lights are actually very important. With them I can follow her in the dark.
