Getting Road Ready

This coming Monday, it will be one week that we have been at Carpenters Campers in Pensacola, FL. getting the coach road ready. We had a list (pretty long) of small items that we wanted checked out, repaired, modified etc. The technician started Tuesday morning and finished with us on Wednesday except for the heat pump in the front air conditioner. Seems that the "reverse valve" was not working and that was the reason the heat pump quit. We've had great a/c from the unit. On Thursday, they had an a/c specialist come out to give an estimate of repair. The estimate came to just over $600. The work only had a 30 day guarantee. We asked about the cost of a replacement unit. We were quoted around $1100. After some discussion, Dean and I both agreed that we should go ahead and do the replacement. It will come with a 3 year warranty.

On Friday, the unit came in, but it was to late for them to start the installation, so it will be done on Monday. After that is finished, we will head back to Rainbow Plantation until June 6th.

Montgomery, AL. will be our first stop for a week. There is several things that we need to do while there - stock up on meds from the base for one.

A week later we will head to Wiggins, MS. for a reunion with all 4 of Dean's kids w/families. A big picnic is planned for Saturday at Flint Creek Water Park. We will be camping there until the following Monday. I hope by then we have an idea of where we are heading - as of now we are not sure!

We both want to go to Colorado for the summer. I also feel like I would like to go back to PA. to see my family - it's been 2 years and none of us are getting any younger! Then there is a cousin in Arkansas that I haven't seen in 5 years. On top of this, we would really like to catch up with some of our fulltiming friends somewhere. It's been a long while since we seen most of them, even though we do keep in touch. Anyway, we'll see.

Thank you to all for the emails, cards and phone calls after my Dad's passing. It means so much to know that you have family and friends that care. We will be doing what my Dad's wishes for us were - getting back on the road and having a good time for as long as the good Lord allows.

Hope to see you soon......
