11-12 A fun Monday

Dixie says "I hate the vacuum cleaner, so I will just take this and you can't make it work!!"


11-12 Monday We had a very pleasant visit from Bobbie Fosbrink, the one lady welcoming committee from the First United Methodist Church in Mission this morning. For some reason we both came bounding out of bed early this morning. For those who know my wife, ‘bounding’ and ‘early’ cannot be used in the same paragraph. Nonetheless, we launched into a cleaning binge. When dealing with a motorhome, this is normally a hour project on a bad day. Fortunately we were in the put-it-back-together stage when Bobbie called to say she wanted to drop by for a short time. We had a very pleasant time and Bobbie ended up staying much longer than I think she expected.

After other cleaning projects we decided the car needed a thorough cleaning. Neither of us could remember when it was last vacuumed. Dixie, the sweet little dog raised by the Florida granddaughter hates the vacuum cleaner. When it is run and the wife is around, Dixie just goes crazy and attacks something related to the vacuum. When there is nothing related to the vacuum, she attacks pill bottles or toys. Today she was outside when it started, so she found the crevice tool. When we attempted to retrieve it, she was more than a little reluctant to turn loose.
Once completed, it is just amassing how good the car looks. In the morning it gets a bath! When this is completed, our gas mileage is bound to go up at least 5MPG.
