RV Life with Mama & Papa #32 Sunday, August 22, 2021

Good Morning Everyone,

Metaxa in the camp chair

I think Metaxa is ready to go camping again!  I’ve decided to take her to the rally with RVW in September to The Grand Canyon.  I know that I’ll be gone on the “train” for a whole day, but she should be fine since I’ll have electricity and by then I’m hoping that the temperature will be cooler.  I am taking my time to get up there.  I’m leaving on Wednesday the 8th and staying at Thousand Trails in Cottonwood for one night and then it’s a couple of more hours to Railside RV Park where I’ll meet up with the RVW ladies.  I’m looking forward to it.

Every time I walk to the trash, I go by my front garden.  I am amazed how big my “throw away” cacti are.  It’s been a year and 1/2 that I have been in my home here.

Front Garden

It’s funny how the flat cactus looks like Mickey Mouse!

The other day I was scrolling on FB and was thinking about Olivi@ and all of her glory. Saw this picture today from 3 years ago:

Olivi@ and her BLING

This was in Lakeland, FL with an RVW rally.  It was the last camping I did with Olivi@.  I had purchased Daisy, but hadn’t sold Olivi@ yet.  I did enjoy that little camper – especially buying all of her “extras”.  I still have that “shade” tent and I haven’t needed it over the last 3 years, but someday I may use it again.  I also put up the “CLAM” tent at this site.  This picture doesn’t show it, but it was really helpful since it was so HOT & BUGGY!

I also loved that RV Park in Lakeland.  Here is a video of the place:

I’ve been having an issue with the storage areas in Mama Bear.  I follow a FB group about HIKE’s and discovered people are having issues with the shelving.  I didn’t notice it until I saw their posts.  So FB is good for something!  Anyway, the shelf is attached to a piece of 1/4″ wood with staples and the weight of the “stuff” I put up there caused it to be loose and now the shelf is bowed down.  I don’t have the skills to reinforce it so I’m going to wait until Bill returns from Yellowstone to help me.  So in the meantime, I’ve done this:

Temporary FIX

I found the wood under the trailer in Bill’s back yard.  Over on the kitchen side – it shouldn’t happen because they used the valance to reinforce the shelf:

Plus I don’t have as much “stuff” up there and it isn’t as heavy.

So this happened!

 

Mariah and Joey – looks like Daisy and OTIS2

Susan got Joey all hooked up behind Mariah.  Now she is totally self sufficient when she travels.  Life is GOOD!

Started a new project:

1000 Piece Puzzle

I’ve been looking for something to do during the HEAT of the day. Started with a really tough one. We’ll see how it goes!

Day 2 – 60 pieces found!

Day 2 – 60 Pieces

I gave up on this puzzle because the rest of it was just too hard for me to be patient enough to work it so I returned it and got this one instead.

I’m going to see if I can rotate this picture.  I’ll be right back.

I think this one will be easier – we’ll see.  Time will tell.  But it is something nice to do when it is too HOT to go outside.
