One Of Those Springs

Yep, this is just one of those springs, even the horses are thinking—is it ever going to stop snowing and warm up???  Our first snow fall this past winter was on October 4, 2013—two feet.  It is still snowing seven months later—that’s a very, very long winter if you ask me!!

Michael spent the morning getting all the mud and muck off the motorhome and jeep—that was a cold, nasty job!  I finished Jeane’s pink quilt and got another one for her on the frame.  Gertrude (the Roomba) did her thing today too—I still love that vacuum cleaner!  That’s the extent of our day—the weather is giving me the doldrums!!

Thanks to all who left comments about our new rig—we still think it’s a keeper!  I forgot to say last night—it’s an unusual RV—it was clean, immaculate—no cleaning needed.  Foretravel has some nice touches, too—a central vacuum system (remember this is a 1990 coach), pantry shelving which pulls out:

a dedicated spice rack cabinet:

a small but very nice bathroom with a new shower door:

The wooden piece on the right is the table—the portion with the hand hold you can see lifts and folds out—there are no chairs, we would have to carry a couple folding ones I suppose.  The original furniture consisted of two easy chairs which you could use for dining also—that would have been wall to wall furniture! 

The black appliance you see below the counter top is a full size ice maker!!  We will probably remove it and convert that cabinet into a trash can spot—one which rolls out on a drawer slide.  We don’t use a lot of ice and the ice maker requires electrical hookups—we plan on boondocking a lot in this rig!

The bedroom is all bed—at some time in the life of this older coach the bed was a full size and there was room to walk around.  One owner built a larger platform to fit a queen size mattress and now there is just barely room to squeeze between that set of drawers you see in the photo and the end of the bed.  One of us will be sleeping up against the rear wall of the coach—unhandy but better than crawling down out of a truck camper bed???  I don’t like the curtains in the coach and will probably order some day/night shades for the three windows which have curtains.  And I will make new drapes for the front windshield—the current ones are probably original and show it. 

Alaska here we come!
