Holding Pattern

The results of the inspection on our motorhome came back with a few problems. It does indeed pay to inspect! There were problems with the refrigerator, the air conditioner, and the generator.

Now the dealer must go back to the seller and work with them on getting the repairs done. In the meantime, we're "no go" for bringing the home back this week. That means another week at La Quinta, with microwaved or restaurant meals (oh my) ... and sitting in that familiar holding pattern.

My very good friend, JoAnn, and her husband offered to store our bikes and bike rack for us until we get back from Texas, which is a great help to us and much appreciated. Now we can get in and out of the trunk without going through physical contortions. And we were finally able to wash the travel muck off the car.

Sadly, we must cancel yet another week of RV parking that we had prearranged more than a month ago. But such is life. Our sights are set on next Thursday evening to fly to Texas. Our wonderful cat-sitter, Sadie Mae, will be babysitting Sweetie for us while we're gone. It's comforting to know the kitty won't have to endure the grueling experience of airline travel, and she'll be with someone she knows. You can see by the picture how thrilled she is about the news.

Please keep us in your prayers.

This evening we're going to find a nice park, have a good long walk, and reflect on all our many blessings...especially the one where we get to retire and travel this amazing country in a beautiful (somewhat gently used) motorhome.

P.S. Red Roof Inn did refund our seven unused days. (Thank you, Lord!) One less problem to deal with.
