The house is all set and we are living in the motorhome. As cold as it is, it would be more pleasant to be in the house but staying in the motorhome serves several purposes. There is a danger to the motorhome when temperatures are lower than freezing and by living in it, it is easier to monitor all of its systems and be sure they are up to snuff. Yesterday we were getting low on propane, our major source of heat. In Texas, the propane guy makes his rounds in the park and he fills us up and we pay him. Easy, peasy. In Iowa, it involves taking the motorhome to the RV dealer. The routine for moving the motorhome is the same regardless if it is moved one mile or 500 miles. It was good to go through our routine of getting ready to move. It is easy to forget details if you haven't done them in a while. We didn't forget anything and we are back in our spot waiting for the day to move south.
We are not forgetting any items this year. At least I believe that to be true. We have it all, right down to the clothespins. Neither of us can think of one more thing to take and we have had plenty of time to think about it.
Today it is supposed to be colder than anything we have experienced for several years. A high today of 35 and a low tonight of 18. We can endure in the motorhome but to say it is pleasant would be an exaggeration. We close off all the windows giving us one more layer of insulation, run an electric heater in addition to the propane furnace and wear several layers of our warmest clothing. Needless to say, it is similar to living in a cave and if you know me at all that is not on my want-to-do list. I can do it for a short period of time without complaint. The limits on it can get pushed easily and that is why I say I am a hot- house flower and we head south every fall.
I did take a few pictures this morning through my tiny window. I haven't pulled the shade down yet. It was a beautiful sunrise this morning.
