Keeping Busy During Stay Home

Our wonder Wandering Wanda Winnebago (our Adventurer 27N) sits in our driveway waiting for us. We were supposed to leave tomorrow for Sevierville for our weekend with our Happy Tennessee Travelers Chapter of FMCA. After that, we were heading to Greensboro, Georgia. But here we sit. Hubby and I are both retired and have our own health issues. We really don't need to risk adding anything else.

In the meantime, I bought some food containers for Wanda to store pet food, cereal and coffee pods. My order of new Tervis mugs from Amazon hasn't shipped yet. My frustration at finding stuff in the grocery stores when hubby and I shop is great. My younger daughter has been wonderful for tackling most of the grocery shopping. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that.  I did do a dry run in the RV pantry to see how things would fit, and I am very happy with my purchase. Today I washed the containers before trying them out with actual food in them. 

Last week, I was tempted to shave my head in my growing frustration with my growing hair. When you wear your hair short to begin with, and hold off on getting it cut to fit with your travel schedule, you can imagine how unruly it gets. I actually posted on Facebook that I was seriously considering it. But I still have the unruly head of hair and it is getting longer as I type this! The governor is set on reopening Tennessee next week in phases, but I'm just not sure I want to risk it yet. More bad hair days ahead!

I managed to hang some pictures last week in the RV. I swear I have more to put in there, but have no idea where I am storing them.  Maybe I counted wrong? Sometimes I feel like the Stay Home order has fried my brain.

We have tentatively rescheduled one of our trips, the one to Greensboro, Georgia. In July. OMG! It's gonna be a hot trip.

She's Home!

We picked up our Wandering Wanda today from the repair shop. She has had her recall addressed, her water issue fixed, and now has operating awning lights. What with COVID-19 rampant in Tennessee, we wondered whether or not she would be ready before repair shops shut down. Our repair place is working weird shifts and you have to have an appointment to pick it up. Last week I drove her to her appointment alone, with hubby following in the car. Today, I drove her home, hubby again following in the car. 

There are times when I wish I had learned to tow anything. If I had, we might be hauling a fifth wheel, except for the fact I don't like all the steps. Or towing our car. At this stage in my life, I have no desire to learn.  

2020 Travel Plans

Hubby and I had planned a couple of trips late in April. The best laid plans ... and while we haven't yet cancelled our reservations, we wonder if there will be any trips this year.

While we wait for the COVID-19 pandemic to play out, our Wandering Wanda is in the shop, having some warranty/recall work done. Fortunately for us the dealer received the parts before Winnebago shut down production. Our driveway looks so empty without her and I am going into serious withdrawal. I think when we get her back, we will do some serious driveway camping.

We are fortunate to live in a small town, and are only blocks from our daughters, so it's nothing to walk past their house, giving them a heads up and do some social distancing chatting. Our younger daughter was nice enough to do some grocery shopping for us. They don't seem to want the old folks shopping.

We have tried to get out to the drive-thru/curb pickup restaurants just to keep some people working. Today we picked up some stuff for our pets. Some of our time the last two days was working on recall commands with our dog. It also gets him running and expending some of the boundless energy he has. It is at times like this that I appreciate having a fenced yard.

Please, everyone, keep safe.
