The news about Stuff this week is...there is no stuff. We spent last week in the Prescott/Chino Valley, AZ area, getting the roof replaced on the fifth-wheel. While waiting, we stayed in a hotel -- did a lot of swimming and watching movies, but mostly... slept. It was a long, drawn-out trip to AZ, thanks to very little sleep, driving to get there in time. Then the truck broke down.
We limped into the dealer in Albuquerque, NM. We spent $1000 there on repairs, and a LOT of money on gas. About the cheapest we paid was $4.38/gallon -- most of the time, we paid closer to $5-5.30. Aaargghgh.. Add that to the roof costs, and it has been a very expensive trip.
The good news: we're now home in Colorado, parked at our friends' ranch. (We act as caretakers for them when we're not on the road.) We pulled in Sunday night, parked...and slept nearly 12 hours. Yesterday and today, we started doing some needed repairs (leaks on both the toilet and the kitchen sink), sorting through the things I brought back from The Mama's estate for the girlies, and putting things in order. There's more to go -- but it's a start.
I'll be back next week with a Stufff column. Thanks for your patience, Gentle Readers...you'll be hearing more from me as the dust settles, and we restitch the threads of our old life.
