Cleaning the insides

Thursday was a leisurely rising because we wanted to avoid the rush hour traffic. I went to the nearby McDonalds and got coffee for me and hot water for Evelyn to use for hot chocolate. We were already hooked up and got right out onto 281 and whizzed right through town. We looked at the hotels near the Alamodome because we might go to the Alamo Bowl if Purdue gets invited. We drove to Three Rivers and stopped to make a can of soup for lunch. We continued and arrived in Weslaco around 4. We immediately began to unpack the coach. Evelyn is ready to sell it so we might try to go to a local consignment RV lot early next week. I would like to sell the coach and Saturn as a package because they all go together. It would seem to be a good proposition if I were looking to buy one. The mounting iron is attached and a tow bar is included. We were very pleased that the weather is very temperate. It is to be only 73 for a high tomorrow. We will try to finish unpacking tomorrow so we can move the coach out of the way. Our neighbors need to back out of their driveway and it is tight for them. We also have the normal amount of weeds to deal with in our small garden and in the front of the house. I saw a few of our friends in the hall when I went to contribute our summer’s worth of can tabs to the collection we make for the Ronald McDonald House. We watched some TV but could only get pictures from the antenna, and they were black and white. I called Direct TV today and scheduled a reconnection for Saturday afternoon. I want to watch Purdue play Indiana but failed to call far enough in advance to get them to connect it Friday. I will have to find someone who will let me watch in their house. There are a couple of Purdue fans in this park.
Friday was spent unpacking. I also called the Texas Trader to see what we could expect to get from our motor home and Saturn together. We had prayed and both came up with $50,000. The owner said that sounded within reason. We will try to take it there tomorrow. I also went to the office to sign in and get our mail. We had quite a bit but no time to devote to sorting it. The neighbor’s across from us have a power washer, and we borrowed it. I was not impressed with the way it “cleaned” the bugs off the front. I am glad that we don’t own one. We got only half the items moved out of the inside of the coach. I realized that we would be unable finish our work by tomorrow. We continued unpacking until dark and then began sorting the mail. Of course we received many requests for donations to charities. We also received some tax bills to be paid in January. We plan to go to Mexico tomorrow for a haircut and pedicure. We were there by 8:30 and were some of the first there. We were surprised to learn that the young man who had cut my hair for three years had moved to Salito. Afterward we bought a bottle of Kahlua for Shirley and made an appointment to have another crown inserted into her mouth. We came back and tried to see some friends from Minnesota. They like to go to New Braunfels so we brought them a plastic pitcher and cups from Wurstfest. They were not at home so we came back here for a salad. As we arrived home, the technician came to install our Direct TV. I was happy because I was able to see half of the Purdue/Indiana game. He said he had connected the local channels, but I can’t get them. I called for help but had to wait for a return call that never came. I will have to call again tomorrow. I continued unpacking while Evelyn went to the grocery. I finished unloading and took some things from the basement compartment. Evelyn worked on making a low calorie soup for next week and a pizza for tonight. It was quite good but tiring. We just laid around the rest of the evening. I did take a picture of the Saturn with the tow bar and protective shield so we can put it in the coach to encourage the sale of both.
