When we got Home

When we got home there were a few things we discovered about the differences between RV living and house living.

 

1. You can’t flush the toilet with your foot (well maybe you can)

2. You don’t have to lift on the handles to open the drawers.

3. There are no holding tank gauges on your bathroom wall.

4. You can run your microwave, toaster,coffee maker, etc. at the same time without blowing the breaker.

5. There is no steering wheel in your living room.

6. You look out your window and NOT find your neighbor 10 feet away.

7. Much fewer golf carts driving up and down in front of your house.

8. The whole neighborhood doesn’t get together every evening for happy hour.

9. You have the same neighbors all summer long.

10. Snow and ice is still possible.

11. Spring rains are on the way, as is the possibility of floods

12. You won’t need your A/C for several months.

13. People wonder how/where you got that tan.

14.That you have already started making plans to go back south next fall.

15. That the contents of your RV will surprisingly fill half the available space in your house, garage, and workshop. How did I fit all those clothes in the RV and why did I take them all? Where did all that stuff come from anyway?

16. It takes longer to clean the house than the RV.

17. Plus you have to mow the lawn, weed the flower beds, remember to put out the trash and recycling on certain days.  But the newspaper is delivered to you!

18. We can’t hear each other from opposite ends of the house.

We pulled into the driveway at about 1:30PM on Tuesday and we have not stopped since. We have been busy catching up with family and chores around the place.  On Wednesday we had a nice dinner with Heather, Kevin, Kolton, & Kooper at our favorite steakhouse (The Old Country Kitchen).  It was sure fun to see and visit with them.  Gloria saw her sisters and I had lunch with brother Bob.  Today we are going up to DuPont to see Dusty and Jedd’s new house, and go to dinner with them.  In between I have changed the oil in the lawn mowers and mowed everything.  There were no issues with the house and the hummingbirds were happy and well fed thanks to Bob and Annie who checked on the place and picked up our mail on a regular basis. The yard was in good shape thanks to Forrest and Gail who came over and mowed twice before we got home, it wasn’t too bad.  We want to thank everyone for all the help you gave us without you we wouldn’t have been able to live our dream life on the road, Thanks so Much! Maybe by October I’ll be caught up around here.  My intent is to publish this blog once or twice a week to let folks know what we are doing.

More Later, Rich
