Laundry Day

Taylor, Texas

Weather: low 54 degrees, high 81 degrees, clear skies

We went back to the RV dealership today to pick up the counter extension that was ordered as part of our purchase. On the way back, we stopped in Georgetown to do our laundry. We found a nice, clean laundry just off the town square that had many washers and dryers. The only problem was that one of the dryers we used did a poor job of drying clothes. As a result, we were there a little longer than expected.

The WalMart Mall was our next stop as we were looking for a plastic container to store the central vacuum system hoses and parts. We found what we were looking for, plus a few more little things we needed. Then it was over to HEB for a few groceries that we like from them. As I have said before, HEB reminds us of the Publix stores, found in the southeast.

I rested a little while when we got home, then decided to try to do some more re-arranging of the basement. This is a huge basement in the new home, but I am having problems getting everything set up the way I want. I'll try again tomorrow.

We have a neighbor staying across the street from us that is from Missouri. He moved to Texas a few years ago when he retired, and was commenting that he was saving more than $800 a year on his vehicle registrations in Texas, versus what he was having to pay in Missouri. He was admiring our new home, and said we have all kinds of opportunities to visit Camper's World. Then he started listing all the things we needed to really make our new home a show place, such as an Amish electric fireplace, a new gas grill to pull behind the RV, an automatic awning...... He kept on for about five minutes with some of the driest wit and humor you could ever hope to hear. I am a real fan of dry humor, and this guy has it down pat.

We found some more stuff to give to charity, which I'll do tomorrow. Maybe I'll figure out something on how to organize the basement. Remember the tripod stand for the hitch that I put out by the street yesterday? It's gone, and good riddance to it. I'm glad I didn't pay much for it.

More later, be safe.
