Another Dreary Day

This morning we got up early and headed over to Angel's Restaurant for breakfast with friends. Usually there are nine of us, but today our little band was only five: Bob and Pat, Jean, and Ken and I. Hardy and Judy were off to Gun Barrel City this last week for Hardy's mom's 90th birthday. Jan has been nursing Steve through some respiratory gunk. He's improving, but not ready for prime time.

We were hoping the weather would improve a bit, but it was after 2:00 p.m. and still chilly, rainy, and windy. We decided to walk on the treadmills. This is definitely a better option than not walking at all, but nothing like as refreshing as being in the outdoors and enjoying nature.

We made ads to put on the bulletin boards in our laundry rooms for some of the items we're hoping to sell. We made some to take to the other parks we dance at too. We're especially hoping someone will want our Honda eu2000i generator.

We tackled the job of sorting through our file drawer today. We remember when we had three file cabinets with ten file drawers. It was a feat to distill that down to one drawer, especially since that included all the manuals for our rig. Well, today we took way more paper and file folders to the recycle bins than we kept.  The easiest thing to do with paper that comes in is to file it away, just in case you might need it. The problem is "out of sight, out of mind." Until your drawer is overstuffed, it's easier just to leave the stuff in it rather than sorting through and discarding unneeded material.

We won't have a file drawer in our new home. Fortunately, New Horizons organizes all the paperwork related to your new fifth wheel in a large accordion file. The remainder of our file folders will go in a small mobile file box that will fit inside a cabinet or closet.
