We made today kind of a heavy-duty shopping day. First we went to Costco to look at vacuum cleaners. We have a built-in the wall system in the RV, but the hose and all of the other paraphernalia for it are stored under the couch. We store the folding clothes dryer between the couch and the wall and it has to be removed in order to open the bottom portion of the couch. It's a pain and it's awkward, so we don't like using it. We've had a light weight broom-type sweeper with a rechargeable battery that has just gotten weaker and weaker. I suppose we could have gone shopping for a new battery -- if Forry had been able to figure out how to get at it...
Forry and I both have long hair. It tangles around the beater bar on a vacuum. You have to literally cut it loose to free it up. We finally decided to go ahead and get a full-size Electrolux vacuum as they have been advertising a beater bar that clears itself of hair and thread. We can already see how powerful it is compared to either the built-in system or the electric "broom" we've been using.
Our next stop was at Camping World --
We wanted to replace our macerating sewer pump before we went to Daughter Dawn's house. We use it to empty our tanks when we stay there. We also needed a weight for holding down the sewer hose when emptying tanks and a new "donut" sealer. Lots of fun stuff to shop for...
The best thing about the day was driving over to Daughter Dawn's for supper. Granddaughter Kyra was tonight's chef. After dinner we all went over to Canby High School for the End-of-Year Ceremony for Kyra's Speech Club. Kyra got one of their "fun" awards. She and her friend Ellie darted up to the front and back so quickly, I didn't even have time to get a picture.
