Yes, we’ve got this down to a science. Today, was moving day, but just for the day since we needed to take Graybeard in for new shoes. So, we were up and at it long before we really wanted to. It was almost like having to get ready to go to work – ugh! The difference, though, was we could take our time. After all what was the rush? The tire dealer wasn’t going to go away. The tires weren’t going to get sent back. So we moved at a relaxed but purposeful pace. Like that? We did.
The night before Barbara sat down and came up with with an idea – a laundry basket for the items in each area that needed to be packed away and secured. In addition, she
decided what could fit in each sink, kitchen or bathroom. Result? 30 minutes the inside was packed up and we were ready to go. Yes, she has the inside down to a science.
As for the outside, that was left up to me and since I’ve already done it several times 30 minutes did it for me as well. It was poetry in motion and I’m sure we’ll get even better as time goes on.
The reason for all this? As I’ve mentioned before Graybeard was going to get new shoes.
I did a lot of research and am confident that I made the right choice in tires. The price at this local dealer was also the best I received from everyone I checked with. In addition, a number of people in the park recommended this dealer. So I brought Graybeard here before we left the area for the year. So in terms of tires we are set for the next 6 years.
While all this was going on, we went to several stores for necessary dry goods and food staples. In addition, we both got haircuts. We grabbed a quick bite to eat and by this time it was time to pick up Graybeard.
It was now time to go back to the park where I had an appointment with the Escapees Weigh Master to have Graybeard weighed at all four corners. Good news, we are under weight all the way around! Barbara is ecstatic, for with this good news it means she can pack more shoes, pots and pans, or whatever into Graybeard! Oh boy. After the weighing, we headed to the other side of the park to fill up the propane tank. Now we are ready to get on the road on Tuesday.
So that was our day. We traveled through it together and made the most of every minute given to us. We hope you had a great day as well. If you didn’t, then when you wake tomorrow resolve to make it a great day. Remember, you may not be able to control your circumstances but you can control the way you approach and handle them.
As always, if you are coming to the end of your day with concerns and worries let me suggest that you turn them over to God. After all, He is going to be up all night so why not let him handle them for you.
Time now for our evening prayers and some shut-eye. Till tomorrow. Thanks again for sharing our day with us.
These are the voyages of Graybeard and it’s occupants, four paws and two humans. Our continuing mission: to explore as many new states as possible, to seek out new acquaintances and make new friends, to boldly go where we have not been before
"On The Road of Retirement" 
Graybeard is looking good and now with new tires, he is ready to roll. You guys are becoming very organized and efficient.
