Progress in Garage

One of the least exciting tasks we need to complete is making room in our garage for the car. I attacked that project yesterday while Josie was working and made some very good progress:


It used to be that there was only about a three foot aisle to walk through. I reorganized everything that was on the one side, stacked boxes as high as I could and recovered about five feet more space on the one side. Now, we have to work on the other side and get it to where we can recover another few feet which would make room for the car. We have until next week to get it ready. I am feeling more confident that we can reach our goal.

We have started to create a section in the house where we can accumulate items that need to be loaded into the RV when we bring it to the house next weekend. One thing we are really concentrating on and that is weight. Our goal here is to take only what we think we will need and not overload the RV.

I spoke with our neighbor (Jim) yesterday about our plans and he was, as always, willing to keep an eye out on our house and will do a walkthrough occasionally to check the inside. I will give him a key before we leave and we can feel confident that he will do what is necessary to make sure all is well. I also indicated to him that we may have Patty and her family here for about a week sometime in August while they get Jordan settled at ASU. No problem. He will give her the key when/if she decides to come to our house.

Part of my afternoon activities were to drop off some items at the Salvation Army and to make a stop at the Sun City Posse offices to complete a "Vacation Watch" registration to make sure they keep an eye on things while we are gone. That is a free service that is provided by our community and they make sure there are no papers in the driveway or advertisements attached to our door along with looking for suspicious activity.

Getting closer now...
