Preparing for Summer

At the end of last season we needed to move our trailer to a new spot. It was settled into a temporary home and was closed up for the winter. Our own piece of land, a new permanent home for our trailer is in the works, waiting on the lawyers.

Opening it this year has a few challenges.

We spent last Saturday doing a complete spring cleaning of the trailer while checking for any new damage and/or leaks and sorting out our power and water hookups as they much farther away this year. We will also need to go back to using the local “facilities” as there will no longer be a sewer connection.

Tonight we take our golf cart and a full truck back to the trailer.

It usually takes three or four weekends with the truck packed full each time to get everything back up. Hopefully our new trailer home be arranged this year and will have our own storage so we no longer need to bring so much back to our house.

Getting Started

I have had my Micro.blog account for years, on the free plan for most of that, but never really posted with any regularity until I switched to a paid account year ago. Still not much of a blogger, I would rather find something to photograph and share than to try and organize my thoughts into coherent sentences.

I have always struggled with what to say, I still do, but I see the message of so many blog to just write for yourself

With this Weblog Posting Month I am trying to change that. There will still be lots of photos but I will be trying to use my words more. Sorry about that.
