A welcome mess

After another tasty breakfast, we hooked up our trailer and bid goodbye to Tom and Luanne.  They have been such gracious hosts.  We didn’t leave until 9:30 and still made it to our mobile home by 3:00.  We hadn’t stopped to eat because the breakfast was large.  We came into the house and saw much of the furniture and wall décor on various pieces of furniture.  But the walls were gorgeous.  The painters had done a great job of painting while we were gone and had even replaced some of the items they had to move for us.  We began rearranging things and decided to do some of the laundry although we had done some at the Jones’ house.  Unfortunately the dryer hose had come loose, heating the house.  I had to move the dryer out and try to resecure the vent hose but couldn’t do it until I could go outdoors to work.  I decided to wait until tomorrow during the day.  We went off to the grocery but stopped at a Chinese buffet on the way.  We didn’t overeat but were hungry since we had not eaten since breakfast.  We were not very impressed with the offerings at this particular buffet.  We went to the HEB and bought more than we had planned on.  We had brought some spices, etc. but not much food.  We just really bought things we needed to re stock the larder.  We came home and retired somewhat early since we had no TV service. 

Saturday we continued.  I was able to work on the dryer from outside allowing Evelyn to complete the laundry.  We cleaned some of the areas and began to bring more items in from the car and the trailer.  We ate a light breakfast and then, at noon, I tried to find someone to watch the Purdue/Ohio State football game with.  The neighbor across the street was willing but did not have the Big Ten Network on her cable service.  I just watched the little icons on the Gametracker feature.  Purdue won in overtime.  We took a short rest in the afternoon, and I made some popcorn for a snack.  I also grilled hamburgers for our supper.  We then took a walk around the park.  It was very temperate.  We had not run the AC all day but did at night so we could sleep better.  I will try to post a picture of our new Texas room wall next time.
