Our first week in Monroe

We arrived in Monroe on Friday and met Heather at home. She had to work on Friday and Saturday, so we met her for dinner on Friday during her supper.Saturday Greg and Dawn came down from BC to visit us. They met us at Becky's house and we had a great visit.
I cooked steaks that we had bought at Cosco, and the girls played Mexican Train.
It was nice to see them again, since they left Timber Ridge in December last year.
They are very busy. Greg has a job at a tank manufacturer, and does his racing on weekends. Dawn is doing her reflexology and hopes to have her own business going soon.

Fred went back to work today. I haven't seen him since he got home as I went home to start on some of the projects I have been planning to do to the coach.

The front TV is going out, I have the brightness turned all the way up, so we decided to replace it.
We are going to upgrade to HD when we get back to Houston, as we won't be in one place long enough to have it installed in our coach until then.
Since we are upgrading, we decided to change the TV in the bedroom for Brenda. I will be working on both of these for the next few days, installing the new TVs.
The coach is set up for the old heavy tube TVs so I have to modify the hole where the tvs are now. We have replaced them with flat panel ones.

Since this coach is only 30 amp electric service, we cannot run 2 electric heaters at the same time. I want to put an electric plug in the wall in the slide out. I am having difficulty finding a male plug to fit in a box on the outside wall. I will keep looking.

There are a couple of other things that I need to repair, but that is the way it goes when you have a home, whether it be a stick & brick or one on wheels. I enjoy trying to work out better ways to fix things here in the coach.

We have plans for the rest of the weekends we are here. With Fred working, weekends are the only time we can all get together and do the things we want to do.
We are going to Camping World this weekend and Fred wants to visit Cabelas. They are both in Tacoma. Sunday we are going to the Evergreen Fair here in Monroe.
We are going to the circus, visit Mt. St. Helens. Alex is coming up to visit. Just busy, busy, busy.

We stopped at Fred and Lurlene's home yesterday and had a great time visiting. We have not seen them in some time. I haven't been here in 2 years although Brenda was here in April.
They are kind enough to let us park our rig at here home while we have to be out of this park for a week.
We'll see them again over the the holiday weekend up at the lake.


Ta ta for now
