Open House

This post is a little late by about 2 weeks!! When we got home, we had an open house at our home, since we had been out of town for 5 of the previous 7 weeks, and had not seen very many of our friends. I also had an "Open Motorhome" to show off my new Bus. We set it for 1--5 on Sunday afternoon, and people spread their attendance out pretty well.


Here's a picture of the Bus in the driveway............ it sure takes up more room than the Airstream did!

I set up a couple of displays in the Bus. One was a picture of the sign that we usually put in the front windshield when we are parked at a campground. If you saw a previous post, you will remember that our friend, Sue Didelot, updated it with a picture of the Bus where the Airstream had been. I put a photograph of Sue with the sign, to give her credit for the upgrade.

Another display was the picture of our two previous motorhomes...... the '78 Itasca class 'C', and the '93 Airstream Landyacht. I put a rose in front of them, as they are 'departed' from our family and owned by someone else. I added a spread of 'parking tickets (that we found in cleaning out the old motorhome) that I have accumulated over the years....... including one from Cape Cod signed by an officer Kennedy!

One of our visitors was a young lady...... who I think had ideas about driving the Bus down the driveway............

Along with all the family and Christmas celebrations, we have been really busy during the last two weeks re-packing stuff that we took out of the old motorhome, and deciding if it needed to be in the Bus. If it did, we tried to find the right place for it. Additionally, we have been making small repairs to the "factory work" and making some modifications to customize the Bus to our lifestyle. I will report on that in the next post.

Also, within the next two weeks, after a lot of annual doctor's appointments, we will be heading off to Quartzsite with Mark and Sue Didelot. They are 'hot to trot' for this trip, and have told me that they will leave within the week to travel from Lake Charles, LA to Victoria to meet up with us for the drive to Q. They will take about 5 days to get here..... traveling via Galveston.
