Moving Day


Once, again, I forgot to update the blog and watched football instead.  Yesterday was moving day for us as we traveled from Shipshewana, IN to Streetsboro, OH.

Pictures here are some of the quilt gardens from the Heritage Trail.  Last pic is of our new furniture.  Chairs are smaller and allow for the
end-table/drawers.  Chair on the left is a platform rocker while the chair on the right is a wall-hugging recliner.  So far, so good, but we're having a little trouble keeping the drawers shut while traveling.  Probably turn the piece around, put a pillow between it and the wall and put it up against the wall next time we move.  Or duck tape.

So that's last week's news.  Currently, we're in Streetsboro, OH. Came here to see more of and bike ride the Cuyahoga Valley Nat'l Park.

That may or may not work out as a cold front is coming through, and it's predicted we'll have rain most of the weekend.  We've found out David & Sharon Phillips are nearby, so we'll try to touch base with them.  That's the plan, anyway.

We continue to travel and break stuff.  Trips have not been kind to us since crossing the Mississippi River.  It seems we either lost something off the trailer or something breaks each day we travel.  There's at least three RV forums with active, heated discussions on the poor quality of RV craftsmanship.  Thankfully, we seem to have the least amount of problems.  But it's annoying to have something break or stop working each day you travel.  I blame it all on Bill Gates.  We made the dude a billionaire while he sold us stuff that didn't work. Now everyone thinks that's a successful business plan.  And the RV industry is right there with them.  According to new friends we made at Mitchell, SD, it's the same way with farm equipment.  But let's be truthful.  I break a lot of stuff on my own.  I don't need help from a RV manufacturer.

So that's it from here.  Later, David
