Moving Day

This morning we moved the ladder from out of the Toad's back seat to his new roof top carrier --

It was actually pretty easy to lift up and put it on top as it isn't very heavy.  But we did have to use our portable front step to fasten the bungee cords -- especially the ones in back that we couldn't reach by standing in the back doors.

Auntie Violet had an eleven-thirty appointment at Cummins NW to get her oil changed, so we had to hustle a bit to get everything buttoned up and ready to go.  Cummins NW is only a couple of miles by road (probably no more than one-half as the crow flies...), so we didn't hitch up Toad, I just followed Forry over.

We had gotten a call late yesterday afternoon from the Group Health Dispensary saying that Forry's new glasses were in, so we went over to pick them up while we were waiting.  The lenses are a bit smaller than he's had before, so he's done a bit of complaining this afternoon about just where to look through them.  From Group Health we went to Johnson's RV to pick up some refills for the water filters.  I've been looking for a small table to use outside by the lounge chairs since I've been using the folding one we have as a hassock inside.  Johnson's had a cute small round one, so we added that and a couple more ice trays to our shopping.  Next was a stop at Costco for gasoline for Toad and to pickup a new package of filters for our Brita pitcher.  There's ten in a package and they are supposed to be changed every month.  They should last us a while.

Cummins NW was finished with Auntie Violet by three o'clock.  Forry paid the bill and we hitched up the Toad and headed for Newport.  We were at Old American Kampground, a KM facility, by five pm and moved into Site 42 overlooking the Pend Oreille River.  We are on the higher portion of the campground looking across the river at the mountains. It looks like a view that should be on a postcard!
