Our New Home

Greetings from St. Louis! We are here for the weekend and enjoying some much needed down time. We will pick up Monday a.m. for a return trip to New York City. We have some mixed feelings about this trip. The delivery is Tuesday a.m. We are hoping to arrive before rush hour, the streets and traffic are still going to be horrendous. Hopefully, with good weather the scenery will make it all worth while!

I've been playing with this machine and have downloaded pictures of our home-away-from-home. Here are a few of them. When you walk into the sleeper section on the right side is the closet area. An upper cabinet with a picture frame (Robyn & Caleb taken just before our wedding and some beautiful scenery I took on some of our trips west.) on the wall to add a touch of personality. The table is at the rear of the berth with windows on either side. The bed is the back wall. It pulls down when we need it and the table folds automatically with it. Very conveniet. The sink has running cold water, a fairly large counter space (check out the crock pot) with a window that is now covered (cold when I took the pics), and a light. Above the sink area is the microwave with a grilling element and next to it is the tv. Yes, we do have satellite Directv in motion. I can watch as we go down the road! And if you look closely you can see one of my favorite features--Mood Lighting! It circles the ceiling on 3 sides. It's great for movie nights when we can't get tv or nothing else good is on.

We are able to manage quite well so far with laundromats at the truck stops and occasional trips to Walmart for our other necessities. We bought a separate GPS in order to find locations of stores, churches, attractions in the area. We've been able to see a few movies, find churches for Sundays (providing they have parking space for the truck) and eat at some great restaurants. Now you can imagine how we are living. We do miss family and friends. Coming home has taken on a whole new meaning! Thanks for sharing.
