Easter Monday, April 1,
2013 April Fools Day
I didn’t ever get around to
writing yesterday. Maybe I put it
off because my Internet connection was up (for a change) and I emailed all 3 kids, spouses and
8 grandchildren. Of course I
believe I have THE greatest grandchildren ever born into this World! For purposes of this blog I do hope all
are enjoying a happy, healthy and blessed Easter Season.
Grandchildren in chronological order:
Daughter Kari's kids:
Quinn - 25, Addison - 21, Holland - 19 (almost: 4/10), Tate, Avery and Spencer - all 13 (triplets)
Son Jeff's kids:
Malia and Samantha - both 13 (twins)
Several rigs have left, or are pulling out today. After
discussion and email communication I’ve decided to leave tomorrow with Renate
Hoven to head to San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato where we’re hoping to get
into the RV park and tennis club (Weber’s) in the city itself. SMdA is not one of the places I had
thought I’d really like to visit as there is a very large ex-pat population
there and spending all my time with Gringos instead of Latinos/Indios isn’t high on
my list of wishes. I love all my new gringo friends AND my Mexican friends too! However,
through what I’ve read and learned from people who’ve been to San Miguel, it’s a
beautiful and historical place not to be missed.
Oh, this is a large country with
so much to see; it would take years and years of constant travel to see all it
has to offer. I emailed “Ten
Things You Might Not Know About Mexico,” taken directly from “Travel with Kevin
and Ruth’s” blog, to my family last evening. It’s amusing and enlightening trivia for those who may not
be familiar with Mexico.
Last evening I rearranged things
in my RV so that I don’t have to unpack so much at each stop – but can, with
ease, if I want to. I’ve started to sleep on the couch – that's been modified into single bed size. It takes about 30 seconds to make it at
night and another 30 seconds to fold up the bedding in the morning. Everything’s arranged in bins above the
cab – and I’ve more semblance of order as to where things are located. Depending on how I choose to travel
later, I think I might modify the above cab area for really efficient and
organized storage. I may even
redesign the window coverings in the cab area itself so that I don’t feel the necessity to
close that area off from the rest of the ‘house.’ [Maybe I could install a curved curtain rod above the windshield and driver and passenger side windows so I could close them when camped).
Now, mind you, I’ve brought
about twice as much of what I don’t need and half as much of what I do! My RV prep list of necessities / changes gets
longer all along the way. People
are surprised that this is actually my first RV trip (other than a couple of
weekends in California and ‘camping’ outside Jeff’s or Barb’s house); I guess because I haven't been a complete dunce thanks to help from Barb and Fred before we left California. I now know that I don’t need anywhere
near the amount of clothing I have stuffed in my new shelved closet! I’m collecting info to rethink clothing
all together. Because one tends to
need different kinds of clothing for different climes it’s necessary to have a
jacket, hat, gloves, swimsuit, shorts, etc. But, I don’t need 6 of each!!! I remember when I was going through my closet at home I
chose those things I thought I’d need; and then, I put in this and that just
because! STOP MP!
Then there are things like my
little Cuisinart – I didn’t think I’d use that at all. Well, now I’m feeling I could have used
it every single day – smoothies/licuados, chopped veggies – oh, how I’d love to
have it. It’s on the list.
Mary-Pat,
