I had the sense I
didn't do a single thing right all day. Looking at photos to prepare a blog
post, I realize it wasn't such a wash of a day. I woke up to all the stuff we'd
stored at Matt and Rachel's in the trailer with me.... this mug reminded me it
doesn't really matter where we are - we're still at home in Christ.
I got our bills
taken care of, AND I ordered unlimited data and a mifi from a school district
in AL. Praying it's the answer to our spotty internet. If it is legit, I'll share links later. LOL
Michael needed
some tools to take care of repairs. The boys opted to go with him and they took
off for the big city - or Yuba City.
Stacia and I chose
to organize the food which was piled all over every surface of The Caboose. We
did it. Next, we decorated her space a bit more....it's impossible to get a photo of the entire bunk at once.
Michael and the
boys returned and began tackling jobs. The spot for the TV is almost ready - which
will allow us to organize the final niche in The Caboose. I have great hopes of being able to pull down
reception for the debates on the 16th and a few football games. I put up a
great quote in the bathroom.
Nolan began
sifting through his tote to see WHY it is so heavy. Seems he brought mostly
books. I think we'll tackle his spot next. He'd like a shelf of some
sort....must think on this. He had a panda bank from Japan full of coins so
sorted them all out and then rode up to the vending machines and got an ice-cold
soda for all....this was a TREAT when you live in a sardine can in 104* heat.
::snort:: 
The shopping trip
was so rejuvenating for Michael, he suggested I make one to the BX. He
specifically told me it would be a good time to go get a Vitamix. I didn't need
to be told twice. I was disappointed they didn't have red....but they'd told me
they didn't. I debated and finally, firmly concluded, "It's a tool - color
doesn't matter," and took one home.
This was a HUGE moment of delighted surprise.
Stacia was a great
help with preparing the veggie kabobs.
Nolan once again
manned the grill like a champ.

Isn't it interesting how we think some days are just blah, but then really think about what was done and realize is wasn't that bad after all.
sounds like an interesting day to say the least. PTL you got your red Vitamix. Yahooooo! Nolan is going to become an excellent outdoor cook. :):):) like the way Stacia's bunk turned out. Will be fun to see the other two bunks later.
HOW IS YOUR FOOT?
When you're traveling across the country, you must visit the St. Louis Zoo. It is terrific! HUGE! Admission is free, though they make their money in other ways. :) It's $15 to park (if I remember correctly). There is parking on the street, but it's hard to come by and probably wouldn't work for the camper. There's a charge to ride the train around the zoo, ride the carousel, get into the Children's Zoo, etc. (I think there's a pass you can buy if you want to do everything making it a little bit cheaper.) Still, there's a lot to see without ever spending a penny other than parking. :)
Yes, Debbie, it's odd like that. LOL
Linda, thanks for the confirmation. I told Michael we needed to do the San Diego zoo and I thought I'd heard the St. Louis one was a must too.
Mom,
My foot is fine. It's sore and achy but the swelling is going down, I have a brace and it's better every day.
Yes, you must visit the St.Lous Zoo! We also have many other free museums. I need to send you links to the nearby campground and my St Louis Pinterest board.
