Because We Can II: July 2012
http://because-we-can-linda.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 29, 2012. Last full week at CARE, Livingston, TX, July 23-29, 2012. Not so much rain this week, but the high humidity and temps have not let up. We now have an ice maker that makes ice and have no leaks! On our day off (Wed.) steam coming out from under the hood interrupted our shopping trip in Livingston. On our way back to the coach, we stopped and ordered a new radiator hose for pickup on Thursday. Now the Explorer sports a new radiator hose. 160; What a fun time! Here, the keyboardist, ...

Tuesday, August 30, 2011. Happy Birthday to our daughter–August 30, 2011. Wishing you a wonderful beautiful birthday, Jenny! 160; We love you so very much! Monday, August 29, 2011. Our time in Baraga, MI–Aug 23-25, 2011. Before we left the Ishpeming/Marquette area it was time to stalk up on almond butter, this was the best kind, grind it yourself. Also since Bob had switched to almond butter from peanut butter, we go through it faster. Talk about a fancy garage door and a brightly painted home! 8220;Lik...

Because We Can II: November 2011
http://because-we-can-linda.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Drive to Betty’s in Abbeville, LA, Nov 30, 2011. No rain this morning, but when Bob raised the jacks, water on top of the coach rolled over our side window. See our newest Christmas decorations. Traveling across I-10 can be a challenge, first it is a thumpy road-where you feel every road joint. Then all the trucks, and don’t forget the road or bridge construction. Soon we crossed another state line. Soon crossed the Mississippi River. Tuesday, November 29, 2011. At Michaels ...

Because We Can II: Travel to and arrival at Retama Village, Mission, TX, Aug 1-11, 2012
http://because-we-can-linda.blogspot.com/2012/08/travel-to-and-arrival-at-retama-village.html
Saturday, August 11, 2012. Travel to and arrival at Retama Village, Mission, TX, Aug 1-11, 2012. While staying at the Escapees’ Rainbow’s End RV Park making sure our washer/dryer unit worked and the Norcold refrigerator remained cold, Bob tacked another much appreciated, by me, job. He recharged the A/C Unit in the Explorer. After adding two cans of R34a we both were happy and cool. Then on Wednesday the 8th we drove the last 230 miles to our RV lot at Retama Village. Our bags are packed. I have a list...

Because We Can II: Settling into living in Retama Village, Nov 25, 2012
http://because-we-can-linda.blogspot.com/2012/11/settling-into-living-in-retama-village.html
Sunday, November 25, 2012. Settling into living in Retama Village, Nov 25, 2012. We arrived back from our trip to Europe about three weeks ago. We were met at the airport by our next door neighbors, Roger and Dianne. And they even had a great dinner for us to share for our homecoming! It took us about a week for us to acclimate to the six hour time change, jet lag sure does do its thing on us. . Dianne had raised some beautiful tomato plants from seed and had saved two for me. See our new bikes! Where W...

Because We Can II: December 2011
http://because-we-can-linda.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 25, 2011. The weather is cold, wish our Norcold was also, Dec 22-24, 2011. We have enjoyed two days of waking up to this. And…. We are waiting for a package to be delivered at the PO on Tuesday, with all the road closures a few days ago, the mail was delayed. So on Tuesday our plans are to head to Phoenix and try to explain to a service tech that our frig really does not work in cold weather when it is in the 60-70’s with lows in the 40’s. May we all continue our walk with our Savior.

Friday, July 29, 2011. Visiting Manistique MI for a few days, July 27-29, 2011. July 27, 2011 (Wed). Bob and I had walked our exit route from our pull through site at Fayette SP and anticipated no problems, unlike we had on our arrival. Since we had backed in, we just pulled out and drove the short loop opposite most traffic with me leading the coach, checking for low branches, a few leaves did bite the dust. On our drive into Manistique I saw a Farmers Market sign, so we stopped and found some goodies&...

Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Passed Pest Inspection, March 28, 2012. Good things happened today. The repairs for the dry rot were acceptable to the pest inspector…so we passed! 160; Now the bathrooms can be completed. The floor tile work will begin tomorrow in the hall bathroom and the shower stall in the other bathroom will be hot mopped, then the tile work can begin in that shower stall and the floor in a day or so. . Today we also had the Relo Cube delivered from ABF Trucking. Tuesday, March 27, 2012.
