Rolling Today

I woke up around 4 am with a headache.  So I got up and took some Aleve's and let a couple of the dogs outside to go potty.  I could see some lighting off and around 5 am i went back to bed.  I woke up around 6.30 am and i could hear the rain hitting the roof so i knew there was no reason to start early.  I rolled over and went back to sleep until 7.30 am.  Hubby was up so i figured i better get up and get the last things done.  Once the rain stopped we were busy.

I had to fasten the bar stools to the couch, unhook the bedroom tv from the satellite and pull the bedroom slide in far enough to get the cord through the slide out  .. ooops it wouldn’t work?  Hmm then hubby remembered he didn’t have the new battery hooked up yet.  Yep, no battery (I will post on that at a later time) .. no slide moving.  Then i had to fasten the bedroom closet doors down … yes now i remember to tie them shut as to not get them caught on the slide again.  My last thing to do inside is putting away hubby’s computer and packing mine and our Mifi for our trip.

While i was doing my inside stuff hubby was outside, taking the back jacks down, taking the satellite down (it’s always one of the last things)  Then it was time to load the dogs in the truck (they don’t like being inside when we hook up to the truck), hook the truck up and pull in the slides. 

Around 9.30 am we were rolling to our next destination.  We only traveled 125 miles.  We spent the afternoon hooking up our full hookups, hubby had to put one side of our tires on boards to get level, satellite dish and putting the awning out since it’s hot here too.

Once we got that all done we visited with friends Ron and Dorothy who are here as well.  We meet a new friend who is a RV Volunteer too.  Later we took a trip down the street to Wal-mart.  Dinner tonight was roasted chicken from Wal-mart.

We don’t have to worry about the darkness because we are parked right next to a football field and the lights come on and light up the entire area around us.  Here is what we see out our windows tonight.

Tonight we are settled in and looking forward to spending some time here in Springfield.  We have several things planned for our stay here.
