Friday the Thirteenth

Despite its being the dreaded Friday the thirteenth, we had a good day today. We got up our courage to go over to Retama and approach Jim and Niroo again. They graciously allowed us to take some measurements and look over their Majestic, and they gave us some good tips. We were especially happy to see their rig again because it is a 37-ft. model, which is the size we are looking at.

Later on our afternoon walk we ran into Lynn and Stuart, Majestic owners in Retama who showed us around their beautiful home a few days ago. They are now ambassadors for New Horizons, evidently at least partly because they called and talked with Phil about giving us a walk-through. Besides, they will be going up to Canada this summer and will be able to meet with prospective owners in the northeast to show their rig. Since New Horizons does not have dealers, the company depends on owner-ambassadors who agree to show their rigs to folks who are interested in seeing a New Horizons "in person." Lynn and Stuart told us that they had never seen a Majestic before they visited the factory and decided to buy one. We've been very lucky to have toured five Majestics in the last few weeks.

On the way home, we stopped to chat with Gary and Judy again and to confirm our plans to go to the RV show in Mercedes tomorrow. As usual, they were very friendly and helpful. Judy showed me the large accordion file labelled "Owner's Paperwork" that contains all their specs and manuals for their rig.

This morning we did a couple of loads of laundry, and this evening I baked some pumpkin fudge brownies for Jean's party tomorrow evening.
