Clutter

Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Weather: low 70 degrees, high 90 degrees, partly cloudy skies

One of the things we like about the RV life is the ease of housekeeping. At least it's usually easy. The space to take care of is relatively small, there is a place for everything, and most of the time, everything is in it's place. We have found that the longer we're parked in one place, the more things can get out of their normal places. Today, we both noticed that the clutter was more than we are used to, and it was time to do something about it. Working together, we cleared up the loose stuff, placed everything back in it's proper place, and filed some paperwork we had been working on. It seems that the stuff we're helping Terri with has dominated our lives the last couple weeks.

Once our housework was finished, we worked on Terri's stuff some more. See what I mean about this dominating our lives? This time, however, we kept control of the clutter. Tonight, the RV looks like what we're used to. Everything is in it's place, and the RV feels right.

We had leftover pizza for supper. For some reason, both of us like leftover pizza. After we warm it up in the microwave oven and add a movie to watch that we haven't seen, we consider the evening a good one. So, we watched another movie that we hadn't seen before. It was a nice evening with my wife.

This is the last weekend before school starts for this area. The campground is busy with families taking advantage of the last weekend to enjoy the outdoors. I like to see families having fun together in the outdoors. Fishing, riding bicycles, hiking, swimming, playing basketball...... No computers, no cell phones, no television. Kids actually get to see what real play is like.

Alabama has a tax free weekend the weekend before school starts that people can save the taxes on for clothes, school supplies, and several other items. As you might expect, the stores are very busy at this time of year, so we try to stay away from them at this time. We didn't even leave the campground today, and I don't think we missed a thing by staying here. I love the peace and calm.

More later, be safe.
