Moving Day

We packed up Auntie Violet and hitched up the Toad and traveled today.  We went all the way from the ranch (20 miles west of Ritzville) along Interstate 90 to Exit 272 to Ponderosa Falls RV Park, about an 85 mile trip.  We have a few more appointments in Spokane and it seemed much easier to be closer than to be getting up so early and traveling back and forth.

We have been parked at the ranch since June 22nd. That's a long time to stay in one place!  You tend to get lazy, taking things out and letting them stay out rather than putting them away like you do when you are moving every day or two. So it took a lot longer to get going than it normally would. There were also things we needed to put back in the storage shed (lawn mower, shovel, etc.), so that took time as well.  We did leave the bird feeder up.  We will be back down at the ranch before we head east as Forry has to get some stuff over to the church for the MCA sale and he can store it then.

It is nice to be in a spot where I can get Internet coverage from my Verizon HotSpot.  However, the site we are in has too many trees for the satellite receiver to hook on to the satellites for TV!

We were both tired when we finally got here.  We sat outside for a bit in the lounge chairs with something cold to drink, then decided to go over to the nearby Iron Skillet for supper.  Forry had the chicken fried steak he has been hungry for and I had a sirloin steak open face sandwich that was actually very good.
