Last day in the Valley

We slept poorly again tonight.  I was up before 6:30 and worked on the computer for a while.  I then began loading the tubs into the trailer while Evelyn worked on washing out the refrigerator and packing items into the cooler we carry back and forth.  I was skeptical about getting everything inside but did.  I decided to take the new battery for the Lectronic Kaddy with us because it should be charged each month.  I also decided to take the larger cooler I won last Christmas.  I had made a large chunk of ice in an old plastic ice cream bucket and will not open it for several days.  The cooler is supposed to keep things cold for a week.  We will see.  We rested and napped in the afternoon and then went to Joe and Bonny’s for a farewell supper she had prepared for us.  We enjoyed our visit before returning home to hook up the trailer.  That is when the trouble began.  First the new lower ball used for towing was too low to hook up.  The trailer was too high in our driveway.  We tried to seat the tongue but couldn’t.  A neighbor came to help us and had some good ideas but eventually knocked the tongue onto the concrete.  Now we had to get the tongue up onto the hitch from the driveway.  The trailer was too heavy to lift, so he went to get a scissor jack to lift it.  We eventually got it up and seated onto the ball.  I was praying a lot and thank God for answering in a positive manner.  In the end, I had everything loaded into the trailer and should be able to finish loading the car in the morning.
