I think I need to go back to work to rest. Steve was out early to drop off the propane bottles. Any excuse to drive the Terex. Then we decided the Terex was too small to carry to carry the laundry because of the chest in the back. So we again went in the truck to the laundry where I promptly startedc4 loads of clothes. By noon I was finished with the laundry and called for a pick up. Steve came and got me. We decided to drop off the laundry and go fuel up and then go to the grocery store in Oakhurst. Back to the house to put away the groceries, eat lunch, make the bed, put laundry away,and get ready for the Halloween party. I wore a mask and Steve put on Devil's horns and tails.
It was an OK party at the clubhouse . It was not spooktacular. I made Snickerdoodle Cheesecake bars which seem to go over well as two people asked for the recipe.
I didn't care for most of the dishes or casseroles so there wasn't much on my plate.
We came back home by 6:30. Showered and watched TV for the rest of the night. Tomorrow we head for Black oak and the Grand Design Rally.
We are moved into the shed at 314. We will likely stay there for awhile.

Winter or fall I should say has finally come to Coarsegold. Day was much milder and the nights are finally chilly. I think I am going to gave to break out the heavy pj's.
We got up at a decent hour. Walked the dogs ,had breakfast and morning chores. We took a load of stuff to the other shed. Of course we couldn't just drop it off. Steve was doing some nesting. Everything had to be put in its place just so. Anyway I could tell he was having some fun so I tried to be patient. We met a neighbor Bob and Sherry from Squim WA. They play the piano and sing at old folks homes. Back home for lunch. Steve decided to take a ride to the office and we visited the dog park. Then I came back and made the dessert for tomorrow night's party. At 5 we went out to sit outside. Sherry saw me and asked if I wanted to walk. As I request yesterday to join them of course I had to say yes. We really didb't walk that far but I was pooped. After cooling down I warmed up some left overs for dinner. Dishes and TV for the rest of the night.

Yeah we are back home! So good to be home. We got up early at the crack of dawn again. Steve sets his shower stuff out so he won't disturb me then he comes in turns on the lights and gets the dogs. So I figured I might as well get up. We got dressed and put the rest of the bags in the cab of the truck. At 8:30 we set out for Beef and Brew and breakfast with Pittman's. They were waiting for us. While were waiting for breakfast who should walk in but the Gundelachs.
They were waiting for another couple but they were able to visit for a few minutes. Great breakfast and I had the same thing as I had the last time.
We were back at the yellow house by ten a.m.,,grabbed the puppies and we were off.
We took 49 all the way to Oakhurst where we caught Hwy 41. We pulled in about 2:30.
So good to be home. Love Nikki and the kids to death but there are some things that drive me nuts. Glad we all live in separate homes. We ended up buying her some bowls. I was planning on giving her my China but they way things are taken care of there I just can't do it. I understand where she is coming from those things just aren't important to her. Still frustrating for us old folks.
We got some good news on the way into the park and it couldn't have come at a better time. They offered us site 314. And they let us unload stuff we has in the truck directly into the shed at 314 which I even better than the one we have. It is finished on the inside with drywall and a workbench.. it has lots on both side. So we unloaded the Terex and parked the trailer in storage. Then we unloaded the bed of the trailer into the 314 shed. Then came back to the trailer and unloaded everything else in the truck and out away everything.
We took a break and did a tour of the park in the Terex. Basically Steve wanted to show off the Terex. Stopped and chatted with Kent Russell in 549. That is a real nice site but it cost them a couple of thousand extra for all the landscaping extras.
Back to the house to continue putting things away and dinner. TV for the rest of the night. Have to catch up in all the shows we missed last week. Need to free up some space on the DVR.
314 is a much nicer spot, more private, wider and much easier to Steve to back in. It came at a very good time. We are here to move and when we drive out of the park on Thursday we leave 237 and when we come back in a week we drive right into 314!.

Tonight is the last night. Headed back home tomorrow after breakfast with Lindy and Bill. Today was rather fun I spite of all the hub bub. Got up about 7 am. I decided to have a small bowl of cereal to ride me over since I didn't have a midnight snack of left over Chinese food like Steve did. Dressed and then Nikki and I ran over to Walmart to pick up some last minute items. Saw Tom and Glenda over there. He is really getting on my nerves.
Come back and put the casserole in the oven and we started to put the brunch together. Becky brought fruit, and Stephanie brought a French toast casserole.
They carved pumpkins and we voted on the Best. Then every body took off. We actually got to visit with everyone for a few minutes.
Nikki also hit the road about 2:30 or 3 PM. God forbid she has out at the house with us. She tried to leave the kids with us but we took care of the dogs. According to Steve she rarely gets a chance to have some time for herself. Right.
We finished loading and securing the back of the truck and hitched up the trailer . We are ready to rock and roll in the morning right after breakfast.
We had a Subway about 5 and then Doug and Karen came over. They are doing side jobs to supplement their income as Doug's income has be drastically reduced. He works on commission only. They left and Nikki arrived about 6:30. She brought in a boat load of stuff from Costco.
We finished watching the last game of the World Series Boston Red Socks won.
We are both worn out and ready to be on our way.

God I will be so glad when this visit is over. I am sick of constantly working. Steve has been on his phone almost all day answering questions about the items for sale. We had a couple of people come by and pick up a few of the items. Then we headed over to Roseville to Big Five where we both got new tennis shoes. They are not as comfortable as the ones I have but the will be fine. I could only wear them a little while. They need to soften up. Then we headed over to Harbor. Freight . We grabbed a quick bite at Subway. Back up the hill since Steve had someone coming to pick up more stuff. We got rid of the steps for the patio which really surprised me. I got the laundry started and went to Walmart. It was nice shopping without worrying about getting in and out because Steve was sitting out in the truck. Came back and folded two loads of Nikki's and the kids clothes. Last time I do that. Made the casserole for tomorrow's brunch, cooked and ate dinner, folded an put away our clothes, walked the dogs and took a shower. Nikki asked her Dad if we would babysit so ske could go to a party. That really pisses me off cause guess who does the babysitting and it is not Steve.
To me that is really being sneaky. Fortunately they are in bed and don't require much tending to. The kids complain about never seeing us but when we are around they can't even spend a fucking evening with us. Can't wait to leave this place. I hope we don't have to stay at the house again. The bath tub is black from washing the dog. It us absolutely disgusting. If we ever move back in here we will have to pull the tub out and put in a walk in shower.

This getting up at 6:30 has to end. Whrmen Bella the dog gets up so do my dogs. I did sleep throughout the night without getting up to go potty. I must have been very tired.
Once we were up we headed outside to put up more things for sale. I pulled some things out of storage while Steve painted the boards in the trailer. We sold the exercise bike and the generator and listed several other things.
About noon we quit for lunch and after lunch I went to Safeway to pick up some things I needed for Sunday's breakfast casserole. I was also jonesing for some ice cream. I took a plastic spoon with me and rather than going to Baskin and Robbins I bought a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice and when I finished shopping I sat out in the parking lot and devoured the whole thing. No more for a long awhile.
Back home to do a few more chores then a short nap.
We decided to have Chinese for dinner and so we went to Cameron Park to China City for dinner. We had really tough sesame chicken.
Back home for TV and reading. Nikki and the kids came home about 9:30 so she sat and watched game shows with us for a couple of hours.

Wow we need to head home for a rest. Steve washed all three vehicles and the trailer for the terex. People came to look at our items for sale. We sold the ice chest to the man who came to pump the septic. I went through the stuff in the storage shed and got rid of a lot of clothes. I did not realize how many pairs of pj's I had. I think there was something like 15 pairs of pj's. That was just the tip of the iceberg. We each picked a few things that we wanted to take back to Coarsegold.
We had lunch and then I decided to inventory everything I wanted to take to hospice. What a job and of course I was right in the sun when I was doing it. I am still marveling about how much stuff there was to take and that was only a few bags of clothes.
I loaded up the Terex twice when I brought it up to the front to load the car.
Then off to Safeway to pick up some salad and fruit to go with our pasta dish.
When I got back from there I put dinner in the oven. Once we ate I cleaned up the kitchen and we went over to Glenda's for Mexican Train.
Poor Glenda is in a lot of pain with her back and legs and there isn't much they can do for her. I wish I could like Tom more. He just rubs me the wrong way. He came alive after the Dominoes game showing us some card games. He us not doing well. He has irritable bowel syndrome I think. He must have gone to the bathroom 6 or 7 times while we were playing.
Then back to the house for shower and bed. Steve has been sleeping on the couch since the bed is so hard. Can't wait to sleep in my own bed again.
