Steve was up early and out the door to Carving. Unfortunately he wasn't gone long enough. I had coffee and breakfast. Took the dogs out for a walk. Mopped the bathroom. Steve was home for about 2 minutes. I had just sat down but for some reason it was imperative that we move the trailer back 8 ft so that the heated hose would reach. So we put a few things away and hooked up the truck and pushed it back. Then after a very brief rest we took a Teryx ride and ended up at the Fords after stopping at the office and the poop park. We sat and chatted with them for a couple of hours. Then home .we set up the back room. Dinner and dishes. Finally it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.

We unloaded the truck so we could take the Fords to dinner. Steve wanted to go to Lowes. I didn't think we needed to do everything the first day we were here. That put hubby into a snit. Sofie did a walkabout when we left to pict up the Fords. We got a tour of their new house then went out for Nexican food. We dropped them off and came home for another cart ride. I sat and read til 7 then came up stairs for TV and cuddles with the dogs.
We were up before 6 and on the road by 8:05. We hit alot oof traffic in Las Vegas and Steve decided he knew the directions better than the garman. We went about 300 miles and arrived here about three. Everyone was very welcoming here. We met alot of neighbors. The Fords stopped by for a short visit. We got the basics set up. I fiddled around with DirecTV forever trying to get the local channels.we finally succeeded. Steve was upset about his channels but it just took awhile to download. We had pancakes for dinner then dishes. More fussing with DirecTV. Finally after all that fuss it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs. One of our neighbors is an author. Cliff Deane. Don't think I would like his books tho.
This is our last day here. We are heading to Prescott tomorrow. Mixed emotions. Little bit nervous about the change in our routine. We didn't do much today. The weather was iffy. We got up leisurely.

We went potty at the rig then off to Walmart for shopping. It was a zoo. Not to mention they were remodeling. Back to the rig to rest and put away the groceries. About 3:30 we took the dogs for a golf cart ride. Dinner was leftovers with a new spin which was less than best. Dishes were done. Finally it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.

Dishes and finally it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs. Steve continues to frustrate. Not sure what his problem is.
We got up super early so we could be in Fresno by 8 to have th slide topper repaired. We left at 7:05. It was hard to leave but most of the people would be gone by the end of October. Don't really like the Fresno area but love the Park. And our friends there. Once we dropped off the rig. Then breakfast at Huckleberry. A quick expensive trip to Camping World. Then Walmart. We returned to Central Valley and it was ready. We hooked up and were under way before noon. We decided to stop over in our usual spot in Boron. Kind of a boring ride down 99. We drove about 26o miles. We were in for the night by 5. Dinner was fried egg sandwiches. Dishes etc. Finally it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.
Our last night in the park for awhile. We will miss it and the people. We need to come back for Stagecoach days. We did alot of work. We were going to put the golf cart in the back first thing in the morning but that didn't happen until almost 2:30. We went to the office to drop off paperwork and check the mail. We picked up our propane bottle. I made spaghetti sauce. Then we started cleaning up the yard and putting things in storage. We ate lunch and continued working. We hooked up the rig, pulled forward and put the golf cart in the back. That looked different. Then we unhooked and opened the trailer up. We had dinner dishes and finally it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.
We got up by. I did laundry. Steve ran to Oakhurst for cash and allergy meds. We met back at the trailer. Lunch. I made the bed. Then we started putting things away. We had left overs for dinner. Went to Bingo. Thank goodness we won't have to go to listen to Gary call again. We are both torn about leaving. We love the park and all our friends here. But we don't like CA. Anymore. Something is bothering Steve. He is in a mode. Up then snarling. Guess I'll find out when I have had enough. Came back from Bingo and it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.
Out time here grows short. We got up really late this morning. We got up at nine. Breakfast and chores. Steve did all the work today. Since the sewing room was all picked up I didn't want to get started on a project I couldn't finish. I piddled around the house while Steve washed all the vehicles and stayed outside almost till it was time to leave. I wonder how many naps Steve took while I cooked and did laundry. At 5:30 we jumped in the Kroger's car and we met the Grosope's at the Casino for a nice dinner. We got home and it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.
Well apparently our visit with Joanie and Steve was not meant to be. I texted Joanie early and they were coming. About 2 when I came back from walking the dog Steve had called to say that they were broken down on the side of the road. They were working on getting a tow which didn't happen til 6 . Joannie had to go home separately in a Lyft car. So I guess we will not get to see them there. They sure are having problems with their vehicles.
I got up late again. We had breakfast and did our chores. Steve did a little carving. I finished the back of my last quilt. Now I just have to press everything for the quilter. Then I cleaned up the she shed. It actually looks pretty good. I watched some TV. Then we went for a DP ride. Then we grabbed a bite at YL golf club. Took a break while my phone was charging. Then it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.
I got up late. I went back to bed after Steve got up at 6:30. Steve was all in a panic to get everything done since Joanie and Steve were coming. They didn't make it as Steve had to finish a job. So we relaxed and I was able to finish all of the book covers. I got the back to Annibelle's quilt ready for the quilter. One left . Steve went outside to work on a wood project. We had tacos for dinner. Dishes. Then it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.
I see my alarm and we were up at 7. We has a nice breakfast. I made dinner in the crockpot as planned. It turned out ok but the meat was rather dry. I sewed most of the morning. Marie came over and we played 5 crowns. She is obsessed with card playing. Then we ate and she picked me up for Bunco. Too bad we are leaving. I tried to not go to these places so I wouldn't get too attached before we left. We had fun at Bunco. Finally got home about 8. Then it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.
We slept in to 9 this morning. This is going to change. I set the alarm for 7. Let's see what happens. We got up and out to Walmart in Fresno. $300.00 Later we were on our way home. We put away all the groceries and I sat to sew awhile. Steve raked some leaves and visited with some friends in the park. We BBQ'ed chicken thighs which tasted really good as we haven't had them in awhile. Dishes then it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.
Laundry was the order of the day. I had to was the towels twice. The front loader held them hostage . The load was unbalanced. So I had to rewash it in order to spin it dry. Marie came to visit. We slept in late. I forgot to make coffee. Horrors. We went to dinner at the chinese place in Oakhurst with the McCords. Came back to the rig. Marie wanted to play cards so we decided to play Friday. Finally after catching up with words it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.
Another Smokey day but not quite as bad. We got up at 8:30. We were woken up by a phone call from Orchard Ranch. To tell us we were accepted for residency which we already knew. Chores were done eventually and I started sewing. Steve did some packing and unpacking. Steve is happy that his air purifiers arrived. We are good for 1000 square feet. We would both breathe better if we lost weight. We took a break and took the dogs to the dog park. Then more sewing for me. I only have three more covers to make and I am done with that project. We BBQ'ed brats for dinner the went down to the clubhouse for Bingo. Gary McCord called. He is such an obnoxious idiot. Finally it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.
It continues to be smokey. It is hard for even me to stand the smoke. We got up leisurely as there isn't alot to do in the trailer. I sewed. Steve cleaned out a couple of his storage areas. We ate lunch then decided to take the puppies for a cart ride to the dps which is the code for the dog park. We stopped for a few minutes at the McCordes. Then the office and dog park and back to the rig. More sewing. Dinner was meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Dishes and finally it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs. Tomorrow looks like more of the same. However we are going to get to go to Bingo in the evening.
Still terribly smokey here and more to come. We got up and stayed inside as best we could all day. I sewed. Steve did some painting. At theee o'clock we went to the ice cream social. Home and to the dog park. More sewing then fried egg sandwiches. Finally it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.
Steve seemed in a little better mood. As anticipated he was planning on a motorcycle ride but it was terribly smokey. So he stayed in most of the day. He is still angry about something. He did carve some and did some painting. I sewed most of the day. We made two trips to the dog park. Dinner was left over salmon patties. Dishes and it was finally time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.
A new month. Today was a total shambles. Steve woke me up at 5:39. Slam the door, turn the lights on etc. I went back to bed but couldn't sleep. So I got up. Coffee and breakfast. I finally fell back to sleep. Steve must have as well cause he didn't make any noise. Took the dogs to the dog park. Started chatting with Marie. Decided to go to the potluck and Bunco. Then lunch. Steve of course turned on the taping of the chase and promptly fell asleep. I asked him I thought you like this program. That's when all hell broke out. So I went and sewed . I made a dish to share. Steve pouted all day. Slept the afternoon away. Refused to go to the potluck. Still moping. I expect that tomorrow he will take a long bike ride if the smoke is not bad. He has been building up to this for awhile now. Seems like he can't talk about what he is really upset about without starting a fight with me. I am the whipping post. So we ate the dish for the potluck here. Dishes and we each went to our separate rooms. We are both pissed off.
