CHANGE OF PLANS!

Well, change of plans, we planned on heading north Sunday around 3:00 PM, but something came up, so we wouldn't be able to leave until Tue. or Wed. But that's ok, we have been killing ourselves in this humidity and heat, we can slow down now that lift-off day has been moved up 2-3 days.  Yesterday we spent the whole day washing the motorhome, I even crawled up on the roof so I could reach places I couldn't on the ladder, because of the heat and our ages and Craig's disability(why I was on the roof and not him), we could only stand it out there for about 1/2 hr. at a time. Today I was out there first thing this morning and did all the window, you don't realize how huge the windshield is until you are up there washing it! Plan on doing the inside windows when we are on the road, Craig is going to wax the bottom part tomorrow!  Our Escapee club packet came so we can now put our stickers on, plus we bought a stick on USA map that we can put on the back of the motorhome, I love it, as we go thru each state we add that state's sticker to the it!
                             So excited as the time approaches, can't wait until we are on the road headed for Texas, heard that it is extremely hot there right now, so am glad we don't have to be there until the middle of October! 
                              My best bud Peggy cut my hair and hi-lited it so it will be easy to take care of while we are gone, really like it, hopefully one more cut before we leave Michigan! Also got all of Lenny's(our spoiled pup) shots updated, got his flea meds, heartworm meds, all of his special food, his license and oh yeah, can't forget his storm pills! Getting his is haircut around Aug. 10th and maybe one more time before we head out!
                                        Got the new plates for the motorhome, plus filled the tank,  it was .20 cents cheaper in the morning then by the time we got there in the afternoon, but we did get .20 off a gallon with our Kroger's card discount, so in the end we paid $3.69 a gallon, $199.00 to fill it, ugh! Topped  off the propane also, but that was only $10 since it was already half full!
                                                              The house is 99% empty and the motorhome is 99% full, unbelieveable how much we have packed in there and still have room to spare, found me some cool containers that fit great in the closets and under the table without cramping us or looking like clutter! We still have to put water in the holding tanks, but we don't want to fill them until we are ready to leave, don't want the water too old and warm, we don't actually fill it all the way because of the weight, just enough to get us thru until we get where we are going, then we fill it the rest of the way. 
                                                                Well, I guess that's it for now until the next step in our adventure! Thank you to all my followers and all that read my blog, I promise the postings will get more exciting as we finally head for Texas, plus we will be posting pictures of each and every exciting adventurous site we come across!
