This trolley is going nowhere but we are hitting the road.
Yes, I received my temporary license on Monday and all the legal stuff is done. Yeah!
I will miss the water aerobics class and the wonderful ladies I met.
At the live jam session on Thursday they played some rock n' roll songs we requested. When we told them our last day was Sunday they serenaded us with one more song. How sweet!
Are we overweight? I am talking about our RV.
Did you know they have Weight Watchers for RV's?

Before hitting the road we wanted to utilize the Escapees SmartWeigh service to make sure the weight of our RV is evenly distributed. For safety and tire wear, each wheel or corner is individually weighed so you can shift your contents and don't overload one area. We thought about weight distribution when loading but were shocked to received a glowing report. She told us not to move a thing! In fact the RV is underweight. We have never heard that in our life.
Scott and I are also happy about some modifications Duane did for us before leaving West Des Moines, Iowa. He took our rectangular cutting board and cut it to fit the round sink which makes the area more functional. It also hides the dishes when I don't get them done. He also installed a soft release hinge on the garbage lid so it doesn't fall in. They both work great! Thanks Duane!
We have met some very nice people at Rainbow's End.
Leonard has a Blue Bird school bus and is making it into his home on wheels. We stopped over for a personal tour. He has a Jacuzzi tub, a fold down Murphy bed, heated floors, some very cool lighting and an eight foot work shop area at the back. You can check it out: Leonard's Blue Bird Bus
Before leaving the area we wanted to go to Gokey's Old Town Emporium & Creamery in Goodrich, Texas. A small town of 271 people. After strolling through the aisles that are jam packed with antiques, we indulged in some ice cream. Scott had a cookie dough shake and I had pistachio almond ice cream in a waffle cone. We sat in a red and white booth next to the soda fountain stools and jars of candy. An adorable shop ran by a friendly couple. Notice the sign above the window - Life is Sweet.
The last 30 days here have been great. We definitely needed some transition time after the last few crazy months selling our house and preparing to go full-time. We have had time to rest, get all the legal stuff done, and still did a few activities. Scott has been perusing the atlas and has made some plans for the next six months and is itching to get on the road.
